#publons — Public Fediverse posts

It's all too clear, isn't it. #WebOfScience would like the status quo to not change at all – they are profiting enormously from it. Whereas scientists would like the status quo to change – our grants are being drained dry from publishing fees, our libraries are also drained dry from subscription fees, and academic administrators spend countless moneys on bibliometrics supplied by Clarivate to "evaluate" academics for their "throughput" – in quotes because using these words for what they actually do (counting papers and citations) is a perversion.

By the way #Clarivate owns #EndNote, #Publons and #ScholarOne – we really ought to not use *any* of these. It's in our power.

#ScientificPublishing #academia

#Clarivate will support conversational #AI in its tools and allow an AI company to train on its #paywalled #data.

Or at least that's my plain-language summary of a pretty opaque press release.

Note that Clarivate owns or controls the #WebOfScience, #JournalImpactFactor (#JIF) data, #Publons, #EndNote, #ScholarOne, and #ProQuest.
