A large part of the economy deals in knowledge – and I’m not talking about education alone. Knowledge is a major ingredient, as well as a byproduct of, any credible attempt at societal change. A host of institutions – universities, governments, parliaments, think tanks and what have you – continuously produce knowledge.

📢 Please note: access to Web of Science for staff and students of the UMCG & University Groningen will end on 1 Jan 2027!
Reason: costs, overlap with other databases, and our commitment to open & transparent research.

I'm starting to hate academic databases and how they save bibliographic data.
#WebOfScience and #Scopus, sincerely, fuck you both.

@eric_normandeau @jonny @LudoWaltman @eLife
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.

Several researchers contacted us with the question if IRRJ will get an impact factor. We understand that some universities require young researchers to publish in journals with an impact factor, for instance for tenure tracks and other career advancements. IRRJ plans to become a appealing journal for young researchers at such universities too, and we will do our best of be assigned an impact factor. #JIF #WebOfScience

Bodo Stern at #HHMI is spot on in his assessment of the decision by #WebOfScience to stop indexing @eLife articles: "Rather than helping move scholarly communication forward, Web of Science, by punishing a leader in the field, is in fact holding it back."

Current Status of Open Access Journals in India: A Bird's Eye View
👉 "The yearly growth of #openaccess journals in India was found to be 22.36%. Among these 306 #OA journals, about 44.11% of #journals are indexed in #Scopus, 34.96% of journals are indexed in #WebofScience(#WoS), and 7.18% of journals with impact factor (#IF) are indexed in #JCR. Almost 74% of open access journals published in #India do not charge Article Processing Charges (#APC)."

The University of Utrecht is canceling the #WebOfScience and offering training sessions on #OpenAlex.
https://www.uu.nl/en/news/access-to-web-of-science-will-end-on-1-january-2026"Discontinuing Web of Science is a logical step that fits in with the UU vision on #OpenScience. Closed commercial databases, such as Web of Science, are not in line with our desire to work with open research information as much as possible. The UU signed the #BarcelonaDeclaration in 2024 to this effect. The use of Journal Impact Factors [#JIFs] is also not in line with our vision of Open Science…With the funds freed up by not renewing the licence, we will continue to invest in open source research and infrastructure."

Damian Pattinson of @eLife (and my former boss at PLOS ONE) at The Royal Society's Future of Scientific Publishing conference describes the devastating effect on their submissions of Clarivate removing their Impact Factor due to their change in peer review model, then asks why other journals, including Science, don't renounce their own IFs.

📢 Participez à l’enquête sur les usages du Web of Science à l’Université de Lorraine !
Dans le cadre d’une étude sur les alternatives ouvertes et gratuites comme OpenAlex, le service Bibliométrie de l’Université de Lorraine souhaite recueillir les retours de tout le personnel sur l’utilisation actuelle du Web of Science.
Cette initiative s’inscrit dans la continuité des engagements de l’Université de Lorraine en faveur de l’ouverture des informations de recherche, notamment via la Déclaration de Barcelone signée en novembre 2024. Elle fait écho aux récentes décisions de Sorbonne Université et du CNRS de se désabonner du Web of Science (dès janvier 2026 pour ce dernier).
Vos réponses permettront de proposer un accompagnement sur mesure.
🕒 Temps estimé : 3 minutes
⏳ Date limite : 13 février 2026

#Sorbonne University has decided to discontinue its subscription to the #WebofScience (#WoS) database and Clarivate's bibliometric tools in 2024. Furthermore, Sorbonne University has decided to redirect its efforts towards the exploration of open, free & participative tools. This decision is in line with their policy of #openness, and it is now working to consolidate a sustainable, international alternative, in particular by using #OpenAlex.
