I recently deleted my #Clarivate researcher profile because I don't think I ever agreed to it being created from my #Publons profile in the first place.. And it automatically deleted half of my peer-review record in #Orcid! Without even asking me! Apparently it had writing access to it, but I don't remember agreeing to that either.

Anyone had this problem and managed to recover the deleted records in Orcid? I emailed them but no news so far..

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.

I received an email from #Clarivate that a reviewer of an article I handled would like feedback on their #PeerReview.

I am usually inclined to support development, but I cannot find out how the data I provide are going to be used.

I am asked for quantitative ratings (clarity, helpfulness etc) which won't be shared with the reviewer. And I can provide written comments, which will be shared.

Anyone experience to share?

#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.

The @ReproducibiliTeaGlobal #podcast talked about the acquisition of #publons: It "was a free service for #academics to track, verify, and showcase their #peerreview [...] for #academic #journals" [Wikipedia].

Has anybody thought of a #fediverse version of an #contributions #portfolio like publons? Maybe we could use a similar technique like #Mastodon uses for #verification?
