François Renaville 🇺🇦🇪🇺🚨 If AI #discovery is the sports car, then #OpenAbstracts are the fuel.
Loss of abstracts from major publishers (Elsevier, SpringerNature…) means:
❌ weaker #AIDiscovery
❌ reduced #searchability
❌ setbacks for #OpenScience & #bibliometrics
At stake: not just tools, but researchers’ ability to scope, filter & save time.
👉 We need advocacy for open #metadata
👉 Researcher awareness of limits & #biases
👉 Higher #OpenAccess rates
