Our colleagues Johanssen Obanda and Thelma Laryea are presenting at WACREN Conference 2026 in Banjul, The Gambia on 24 March 2026.
Their session — The Role of Crossref in Enhancing the Quality and Discoverability of African Diamond OA Journals and Books — is part of the Identifiers & Indexing track and explores how open infrastructure can better connect African publishing to global scholarly systems.

Thought-provoking reflections for #histodons from Serge Horbach, @tonyRH and Ludo Waltman, on forms of #peerreview (double-anonymous or not, open reports or not, etc).
They suggest that #humanities preferences for double-anon may be slowing down our adoption of newer #scholarlycomms models (e.g. pre-printing, publish-review-curate). And that double-anon doesn't really solve implict bias problems but just hides them.
I think those two points need untangling... [more]

Interesting thoughts from Andy Tattersall #LSEImpactBlog on how #Mastodon might work better for individual #academics than for institutions.
My impression so far is that I see academic community- building here, but can't work out where the wider policy, #scholarlycomms, #scicomm, #openscience folks are. (I know some are here, but far fewer, as far as I've been able to find)

Am thinking about how my historical data on journal turnaround times compares to that discussed by Christos Petrou for 2011–2020 on #ScholarlyKitchen.
He says:
2019/20 - average turnaround time (all disciplines) 163 days2011/12 (all disciplines), 199 days
My data from #RoyalSociety (science only):
2009 - about 70 days
2002 - about 280 days
1960 - anything between 210-315 days...https://arts.st-andrews.ac.uk/philosophicaltransactions/time-taken-to-publish/

Nice reflections by @peterwebster on scholarly communication in the fediverse “The reactions of the last few years – against commercial publishing, against commercial sharing services such as academia.edu, and now against Twitter – are all in part borne of an objection to commercial capture and exploitation of the activity of scholarly communication.” https://websterresearchconsulting.com/2022/11/08/first-thoughts-on-the-fediverse/ #scholarlycomms
