A new preprint, “Academic Publishing in Occupied Territories: Challenges to Research Integrity and Academic Trust,” uncovers the complex legal and ethical challenges surrounding the unlawful appropriation of Ukraine-born academic journals by the occupation authorities of the Russian Federation.
By applying bibliometric methods, the study examines visibility and impact of these journals.
Thank you @tibhannover for always keeping me supplied with printed #books and somehow always having exactly what I want to read! 🤍
This time I grabbed "The Evaluation Game: How Publication Metrics Shape Scholarly Communication" by Emanuel Kulczycki
What should research assessment really value?
In our latest interview, Dr Mathijs Vleugel reflects on the gap between what is rewarded in evaluation and what researchers believe should count.

How does innovation arise in scientific publishing? Under what conditions can alternative publishing practices become established as the new standard? And what options for action are available to research institutions, funding organizations, or operators of publishing platforms? Answers to these and similar questions are provided in the final report of the Alternative Publishing Platforms project, Charting New Paths: The Promise of Alternative Publishing Practices. The study, commissioned by Knowledge Exchange and carried out by Research Consulting with the support of an international group of experts, identified six distinct alternative publishing practices: preprint posting, open peer review, preregistration, versioning, review and curation after publication, and modular publications, that address specific limitations in conventional publishing workflows, offer benefits around research integrity through transparency; increased speed and efficiency; and shifts power dynamics towards greater equity and access. The barriers to adoption of these alternative publishing practices are deeply embedded in how scholarly communication operates and researchers face hard choices between experimentation and career advancement. This work identifies the critical enablers for the successful adoption: critical collective action and coordination, reform of research assessment, investment in infrastructure and capacity and representation in digital infrastructure. It emphasizes opportunities for action across five key stakeholders: Research funders, Research institutions, Conventional publishing platforms, Alternative publishing platforms and Infrastructure providers.
We are pleased to announce the publication of **International Metadata Recommendations and Platform-Specific Requirements for Open Access Books and Chapters**, a substantial report from Thoth Open Metadata that addresses a longstanding challenge in open access book publishing: how to create, manage, and disseminate metadata that actually works across today’s fragmented scholarly ecosystem.
More about #AcademicPublishing in Ukraine from Frances Pinter with a focus on challenges, resilience, and creativity.
Our friends from the National Coalition of Independent Scholars are conducting a global study on the experiences of #IndependentScholars and researchers. They’re looking into the highs and lows of doing research outside traditional academic institutions.
They’re interested in speaking with independent scholars of all kinds and based anywhere in the world.

Today is the 24th birthday of the Budapest Open Access Initiative.

Best known for catalyzing the #OpenAccess movement in 2002, the BOAI has been continuously active and formed a nonprofit organization just last year.
https://www.budapestopenaccessinitiative.org/news/boai-transitioning-to-organization-to-support-the-development-of-equitable-open-access/
See the org's progress report on its first year.
https://www.budapestopenaccessinitiative.org/news/boai-celebrates-anniversary-and-reflects-on-progress-of-first-year-as-an-organization/
The latest version of the BOAI recommendations is its 20th anniversary statement.
https://www.budapestopenaccessinitiative.org/boai20/
In contrast to the earlier BOAI statements, which made many recommendations, the 20th anniversary statement deliberately focuses on a small number of top priorities:
1. Adopting #OpenInfrastructure
2. Reforming #ResearchAssessment
3. Moving away from #APCs
4. Moving away from #ReadAndPublish agreements.
I'm proud of my contributions to #BOAI (2002), #BOAI10 (2012), and #BOAI20 (2022), and honored to serve on the org steering committee.
Happy #ValentinesDay to all who work for #OpenAccess worldwide.
