Following up on the #eLife / #Clarivate saga, DORA has posted a statement:
sfdora.org/2024/11/25/clarivat

extracts:

"This development reinforces how a commercial entity such as Clarivate, can, through its ownership of scholarly databases and indices, hold the academic community to ransom. Clarivate’s announcement is disappointing as it both punishes innovation in peer review and disregards the important role of authors in deciding how and where their research should be published."

"As funders and institutions increasingly move away from using single metrics to assess research(ers), the role of Journal Impact Factors is becoming increasingly irrelevant."

"We therefore support eLife and encourage it to continue its innovation and encourage other journals to consider doing the same."

Go #eLife, Go AWAY #ImpactFactor!

DORA · Clarivate's actions regarding eLife: DORA's response | DORAThe Declaration on Research Assessment (DORA) recognizes the need to improve the ways in which the outputs of scholarly research are evaluated.

Breaking away from the pressure to bundle as many results together in the same manuscript in the quest for higher #impactFactor, we can write shorter articles, more frequently, more focused, easier to read and easier to #peerReview, easier for #AI to summarise, and most importantly, empowering young researchers to take the driving seat in publications instead of sucking their energy and efforts into long supplemental materials. Then let's write inspiring #review articles to summarise.

How is #ScholarlyPublishing produced and what does one take into account when editing a #journal? Using #OJS as a learning tool:

TIB – Leibniz-Informationszentrum Technik und Naturwissenschaften und Universitätsbibliothek held a workshop for students to help answer these questions, where they created a fictional #OpenAccess journal using OJS.

MDPIDemocratic Erosion of Data-Opolies: Decentralized Web3 Technological Paradigm Shift Amidst AI DisruptionThis article investigates the intricate dynamics of data monopolies, referred to as “data-opolies”, and their implications for democratic erosion. Data-opolies, typically embodied by large technology corporations, accumulate extensive datasets, affording them significant influence. The sustainability of such data practices is critically examined within the context of decentralized Web3 technologies amidst Artificial Intelligence (AI) disruption. Additionally, the article explores emancipatory datafication strategies to counterbalance the dominance of data-opolies. It presents an in-depth analysis of two emergent phenomena within the decentralized Web3 emerging landscape: People-Centered Smart Cities and Datafied Network States. The article investigates a paradigm shift in data governance and advocates for joint efforts to establish equitable data ecosystems, with an emphasis on prioritizing data sovereignty and achieving digital self-governance. It elucidates the remarkable roles of (i) blockchain, (ii) decentralized autonomous organizations (DAOs), and (iii) data cooperatives in empowering citizens to have control over their personal data. In conclusion, the article introduces a forward-looking examination of Web3 decentralized technologies, outlining a timely path toward a more transparent, inclusive, and emancipatory data-driven democracy. This approach challenges the prevailing dominance of data-opolies and offers a framework for regenerating datafied democracies through decentralized and emerging Web3 technologies.

What's wrong with this picture? "To diversify academic publishing, strategies should focus on improving the #ImpactFactor of Global #South journals."

BMJ Global Health · How to address the geographical bias in academic publishing### Summary box The commitment by the global health community to promote equity in research, publishing and practice is a welcome addition to the discourse on decolonising global health.1 2 Bibliometric analysis of authorship and prime authorship positioning (first and last) has demonstrated that researchers from low-income and middle-income countries or the Global South are under-represented in academic publishing3–5 highlighting the need for diversification. Concomitantly, journals have made efforts to ensure equitable research collaboration3 and authorship practices,6 to diversify editorial boards, and to improve accessibility of research through open access (OA) policies to increase Global South representation.4 However, there has been little attention paid to where research is disseminated. Academic publishing is dominated by journals from Western Europe and North America—henceforth WENA or the Global North—where major publishers and citation databases are based. Global North journals are often associated with international and global-level prestige, while Global South journals are presumed to be local, national or regional in scope. Despite increased OA publication, many peer-reviewed articles remain behind paywalls and out of reach of the very communities on whom …
