Evaluating Open Access Advantages for Citations and Altmetrics (2011-21): A Dynamic and Evolving Relationship – InfoDoc MicroVeille

Pendulum by the Mike Taylor Quartet, released on Columbia in 1966 as part of their Landsdowne series.

Kieron Tyler wrote for the Arts Desk:

"...Taylor’s piano appears to be mathematically structured with, at times, a slight undertone edging towards Bossa Nova territory. What’s disconcerting is the lack of repetition of phrases, a constant roaming through a restricted scale and short sections of rhythmic punctuation on the keyboard. Melody and a linear through-line (following such, or returning to such) do not seem to be the point. On Taylor’s own material, beyond the drums, structure is provided by collating back-to-back rhythm-based sections; each of which is different from the other. It’s like free jazz, were it not improvised."

"Shadows fall over my heart
I blackout the moon
I wait for you to come around
You got me dancing in the dark
(Dancing in the dark)
I've closed my eyes
But I won't sleep tonight
Baby, you
Should come with me
I'll take you to the dark side
Me and you
You and me
Do bad things in the night time
Baby, you
Should come with me
And we can kill the lights, hit the lights
With a blackout, blackout
Hit the lights with a
Blackout..."

Update. From #MikeTaylor (@mike): "#Musk…in the last few months has possibly done more to impede the progress of science worldwide that literally any other person in history…I will not submit any of my papers to #RoyalSociety journals, as I have done in the past, and I urge others to take the same step. Similarly I will no longer be providing peer reviews for Royal Society journals, and I urge every other scientist also to withhold voluntary professional labour. And I will no longer contribute to their conferences, and urge others to join me in this."

The Royal Society is dead

A few months ago, Dorothy Bishop resigned her fellowship in the Royal Society in protest at Elon Musk’s continuing fellowship. This was a highly principled stand. Two months ago, Stephen Curr…

Update. #MikeTaylor (@mike) amplifies Bishop and Curry's call in his own new open letter.
https://svpow.com/2025/02/11/dear-royal-society-please-stop-lending-legitimacy-to-elon-musk/

"Musk’s behaviour in every field has been the antithesis of that described by the Society’s Code of Conduct: “selflessness, integrity, objectivity, accountability, openness, honesty and leadership”… Now #Musk is an influential member of a US presidential administration that is actively impeding the progress of science on a scale not seen since the darkest days of the USSR, through censorship, catastrophic defunding, dismantling of infrastructure, and withdrawal from international coalitions. Added to this, his vindictive personal behaviour in targeting individuals contravenes every standard of decency."

Dear Royal Society: please stop lending legitimacy to Elon Musk

I’ll be sending this letter to the Royal Society, but I also want it out there in public, because I hope that more people will follow the lead set by Dorothy Bishop and Stephen Curry in putti…
