#dblp — Public Fediverse posts

Live and recent posts from across the Fediverse tagged #dblp, aggregated by home.social.

  1. Today, the #dblp team celebrated in style the #milestone of 2^23 = 8,388,608 publications, which was reached last week. ;)

  2. @vardi indexing and metadata is still in the hands of the big publishers (#scopus and #webofscience, for instance). We need to double down on open alternatives (such as #dblp). It would have been a positive surprise if #ACM would have led the way here, but obviously they decided to go in a different direction.

  3. @adamshostack @vardi @tychotithonus I believe our publications should not be in the hand of a single institution. #arXiv, #OpenResearchEurope (open-research-europe.ec.europa) or even better a distributed/federated repository run by universities would be a better solution. In terms of editing, at least in CS, publishers don’t add value but friction (it’s outsourced to underpaid workers who add unnecessary mistakes and are impossible to communicate with), so this step can probably discarded. Indexing is still largely controlled by the big publishers (#scopus), so we need open alternatives (such as #dblp).
