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.

Pues se me ocurrió buscar en #SCOPUS las #fallas de #valencia y parece que es un tema CANDENTE y EXPLOSIVO.

La IA no está suficientemente desarrollada para evaluar la calidad de una publicación científica. Puede ayudar a pillar plagios, copypaste etc Hasta ahi por ahora

La IA lo único que evalúa son los "huecos" en investigación. Ya lo hace la de #Scopus.

Pero el problema es que con TRUMPISTAS en el poder los americanos querrán tener acceso a todo lo que manejan las empresas de su territorio. El que estas empresas tan potentes estén ahí con este tipo de dictadorzuelos es un gravísimo problema.

I'm starting to hate academic databases and how they save bibliographic data.

#WebOfScience and #Scopus, sincerely, fuck you both.

@vardi indexing and metadata is still in the hands of the big publishers (#scopus and #webofscience, for instance). We need to double down on open alternatives (such as #dblp). It would have been a positive surprise if #ACM would have led the way here, but obviously they decided to go in a different direction.

@adamshostack @vardi @tychotithonus I believe our publications should not be in the hand of a single institution. #arXiv, #OpenResearchEurope (https://open-research-europe.ec.europa.eu/) or even better a distributed/federated repository run by universities would be a better solution. In terms of editing, at least in CS, publishers don’t add value but friction (it’s outsourced to underpaid workers who add unnecessary mistakes and are impossible to communicate with), so this step can probably discarded. Indexing is still largely controlled by the big publishers (#scopus), so we need open alternatives (such as #dblp).

@steve

It's good to hear of another high profile break away from #WoS and #Scopus. More power to #OpenResearch and open databases.
