We just updated APC info for 2,051 #journals. 923 were updated on 12 April. The remaining 1128 were updated today. That's 32% of all the journals with fees in #DOAJ.
BIG thanks to all publishers who submitted their 2023 APCs to us.
How Academic Bullying Led This Data Scientist to Open Science.
In her insightful article, @pcmasuzzo shares how she was bullied into producing bad science, how she became fed up with academic culture and what she had to do to rediscover her love for science.
2/ From Anna Stilz, an editor of the JPP, to other members of the editorial board:
"Wiley has recently signed a number of major #OpenAccess agreements: this means that increasingly, they get their revenue through author fees [#APCs]…Their current…strategy for maximizing revenue is to force [their] journals…to pub as many articles as possible to generate maximum author fees. Where Editors refuse to do that, they exert all the pressure they can, up to and including dismissal, as in this case."
I'm playing with @calckey, another #fediverse app. I've created an account & started following people who work on #OpenAccess, #OpenScience, & #ScholComm, just to have some feeds to play with.
If you get a notification that I've followed you from #Calckey, don't assume that I've left #Mastodon. I'm committed to Mastodon and just exploring Calckey.

I don't have the data for my topic (#OpenAccess to research) but my experience matches your description — "Fewer active [participants], fewer tweets, fewer likes per tweet, fewer retweets per tweet, and less likely to go viral." Much more activity on #Mastodon. https://twitter.com/RARohde/status/1649052257844072449
Over 30,000 archival items associated with scientific papers presented to the #RoyalSociety (London) are now available on the new 'Science in the Making' archive, covering 1665-1949. https://makingscience.royalsociety.org/
Includes original manuscripts submitted to the RS; correspondence; lots of #images (many never published, and in colour); and >14,000 #peerreview reports.
Essential browsing for historians of science, and not just science. (Search '#mozart'!)

In den vier Wohngebieten in meiner Umgebung läuft die Nachfragebündelung diese Woche aus. Das Interesse liegt in den Wohngebieten zwischen 10 und 23% der Haushalte, kein Gebiet liegt derzeit bei den erforderlichen 33%.
Glasfaserausbau, Digitalisierung und moderne Infrastruktur in Deutschland hat eben was mit gesellschaftlichem Interesse an diesen Technologien zu tun.

I’m afraid I agree. For #OpenAccess more largely & also with @punctum_books I’ve fought against the “prestige problem.” We shouldn’t care about it at all. That’s the real problem. Belief in prestige will never wane. Hang out with different people in spaces no one goes to. https://twitter.com/saggiotipo/status/1650549612426452992
@per#JFR started in 1989 as a printed journal for German speaking family researchers. In 2020, we finally dropped the German title, started to publish in English only, online only and platinum #openaccess only. — We have some notes on our history on the website: https://ubp.uni-bamberg.de/jfr/index.php/jfr/about#history
Listened to the "Library of Alexandra" podcast last night - much more than I expected! A live, in-person interview with Alexandra Elbakyan at her mother's home in Kazakhstan. How Sci-Hub was born. The real story about why new papers are not appearing on Sci-Hub (a court case in India led by a young volunteer). Her strategy and hopes for the future of accessible science...
