Crossref's 2025 Annual Report is out. From metadata and Research Nexus vwork to infrastructure modernisation and community growth, it captures a year of delivery and change. https://doi.org/10.64000/hsdpk-8cm70 #Crossref #metadata #research #funders #librarians #community

Thanks to #SPARC (@sparc) for this new "Guide for Authors Complying with U.S. Federal Agency Public Access and Publisher Policies."
https://sparcopen.org/our-work/guide-for-authors-complying-with-policies/

Bottom line: Compliance with the US federal #OpenAccess policies is free of charge. Publishers who charge fed-funded authors a fee to make their work OA are charging to publish in their journals, not charging to comply with fed policy. You can publish elsewhere and avoid those fees.

1/ The new #NIH #OpenAccess policy takes effect today.
https://grants.nih.gov/policy-and-compliance/policy-topics/public-access

Here are a few notable points about the policy.

The NIH has had a mandatory OA policy since 2008. The new policy is a strengthened version that eliminates the permissible embargo. The policy now requires unembargoed or immediate OA, from the date of publication.
https://grants.nih.gov/faqs#/search/693/embargo

This strengthening was required by the #Biden-era #NelsonMemo from the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy (#OSTP).

Note that Trump has not revoked or weakened the Nelson Memo even though it came out of the Biden White House and uses #DEI language. Nor has he scuttled or weakened any agency policies drafted under its guidance.

That may be baffling. But part of the larger picture is that Trump's own OSTP in his first term drafted a memo similar to the Nelson Memo. It too would have strengthened the federal OA policies by eliminating the embargo.

There may be many reasons why he didn't sign the memo, including the fact that it wasn't finished until near the end of his term when he was caught in impeachment hearings.

#SiliconValley #Shysters Indicted : Founder of #SanFrancisco based #AI chatbot company and his #Georgetown JD lawyer wife have been indicted on over 20 counts for investment #fraud schemes that prosecutors say raked in $60 Million via use of #forgery, identity theft, faked #financial statements etc

The wife, also the firm's #attorney, faces an additional 20 years in #prison for obstruction of #justice if convicted along with husband in schemes to foster their unlawful lavish lifestyles. At one point the legal #scam fraudulently showed #investors documents ensuring they had a $13m cash balance in the account and $69m in annual revenues when their real bank balance was $25.93

#Funders involved in feeding the greedy fake paper corporation included household name celebs like #SnoopDogg and #JoeMontana.

Prior to this week's #indictments, the #scheme first unraveled 6 months ago when an article appeared at #VentureBeat announcing abrupt departure of now indicted #CEO.

India spends $715 million on academic journals, but with the wrong kind of open access

Numerous articles here on Walled Culture have chronicled the struggles to turn the aspirations of open access to knowledge into reality. The central reason people do not have free digital access to all academic knowledge is that publishers have been successful in subverting attempts to provide it. Publishers are strongly motivated to undermine open access, since its successful implementation […]

Update. More coverage of the #cOAlition_S proposal, with a few comments from me.
https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-023-03342-6

#Funders #Plan_S #Publishing #ScholComm

#cOAlition_S is calling for public comments on its proposal for steps "Toward Responsible #Publishing".
https://www.coalition-s.org/blog/introducing-the-towards-responsible-publishing-proposal-from-coalition-s/

"The new proposal is anchored in two key concepts that extend #Plan_S:

1. Authors, not third-party suppliers, decide when and what to publish…

2. The scholarly record includes the full range of outputs created during the research cycle, and not just the final journal-accepted version."

Effects of the #OpenAccess mandate at the US Department of Energy (#DOE): "Articles subject to the mandate were not cited more frequently by other academic papers" but were cited 42% more often in #patents, which the authors take as a "proxy for technological development." Among the "primary beneficiaries" of the policy were "small firms" or those "with historically low access to scientific research."

📖 #MondayMusings with Peer Community In 📖

It takes a #Community to build #OpenScience!

In this piece published in LSE Impact Blog, Per Pippin Aspaas suggests building diamond #OpenAccess models in the style of #Norwegian #Dugnad - a collective #social effort!

PCI thanks all its #authors, #reviewers, #recommenders, #managers, #partners & #funders for making it possible to go the #Dugnad way!! 🙏🙏 🙏
