"The money that #Stockholm University saves at the cancelled agreement with large science publisher #Elsevier will be used to publish research in full Open Access journals.

According to Stockholm University, the transition to #openscience is slow and the publishing in hybrid #journals, where you publish separate articles Open Access in an otherwise subscription-based journal, does not urge the development quickly enough."

“#EuropeanaTech: Centralize, Decentralize, and Sailing on in the Same Boat” by @josemurilo

“Experts and professionals involved with cultural heritage have a strong sense of ownership of their data . This is an important differential over society at large, which does not seem concerned about having its data appropriated by the large Internet corporations.”

Huh. Any #academics out there use Flockademic? How does this tool relate to something like ImpactStory?

One value-add is the ability to "add a journal." Anyone run a journal out of this?

Crowdsourced counter-surveillance. Motorists banding together to tell everyone where speed traps and random breath testing is happening.

Check the #OpenAccess Surveillance publishing journal too. More of stuff like that please!! 👩‍🔬

Via the Philos-L #philosophy mailing list: a new #openaccess book on #consciousness and #AI in philosophy of mind, 'Human and Machine Consciousness' by David Gamez. https://www.openbookpublishers.com/product/545

It has a great dedication page: 'This book is dedicated to the first artificial system that understands it.'

(Edited slightly and reposted to give a more accurate idea of the book's themes.)

"The Santa Barbara Statement on Collections as Data poses these questions and suggests a set of principles for thinking through them, as part of a community effort to empower cultural heritage institutions to think of collections as data and consequently to explore what might be possible if cultural heritage seen in this light was more readily open to computation."

#science #openaccess

Citations are as important to #science as hyperlinks are to the web. What if the entire citation graph was available as open data? We're getting closer to this being a reality. Dario Taraborelli, who leads Wikimedia's research team, writes on Boing Boing about the Initiative for Open Citations (https://i4oc.org/):

American Chemical Society gets carte blanche to seize all new #scihub domains, including those still unregistered. That leaves TOR as the most viable alternative way to access the service. I recommend bookmarking this website https://whereisscihub.now.sh/

This open letter regarding #LibraryGenesis and #SciHub and #OpenAccess resonates strongly with me.

"We are all custodians of knowledge... To be a custodian is, de facto, to download, to share, to read, to write, to review, to edit, to digitize, to archive, to maintain libraries, to make them accessible. It is to be of use to, not to make property of, our knowledge commons."

Burn Elsevier to the ground.
