“Many publishers, including #Elsevier and #Springer Nature, have said that authors can use #ChatGPT and other large language model (LLM) tools to help them produce their manuscripts, as long as they declare it.”

#DEAL Konsortium und #Elsevier verkünden deutschlandweite Open-Access-Vereinbarung
https://deal-konsortium.de/aktuelles/elsevier

Endlich ein Deal: Elsevier schließt mit DEAL Vertrag ab https://bibliotheksbubble.de/2023/09/06/endlich-ein-deal-elsevier-schliesst-mit-deal-vertrag-ab/ Man mage es ja fast nicht glauben, aber endlich ist es soweit. Elsevier hat Ja zum DEAL-Konsortium gesagt und heute offizi… #DEAL #Deutschland #Elsevier #OA-Transformation #OpenAccess #Verlage

Nachdem in den vergangenen Jahren die Verhandlungen zwischen #DEAL und #Elsevier immer wieder gescheitert sind, wurde nun eine gemeinsame #OpenAccess-Vereinbarung unterschrieben! Der Vertrag soll bis Ende 2028 laufen.

Ich wäre von lauterer Dankbarkeit erfüllt, nähme sich @RenkeSiems oder @brembs oder ein/e andere/r Trackingexpert*in mal 7.6 #Data_Protection des #DEAL-Vertrags mit #Elsevier vor.

Ich bin überrascht von diesem #DEAL-Vertrag mit #Elsevier. Wenn ich das richtig sehe, wird außer der PAR-Fee keine Grundgebühr wie bei den anderen DEAL-Verträgen erhoben (Subs.volumen aus Jahr X + x%).

Der Vertrag kommt nur zustande, wenn (vereinfacht ausgedrückt) 70% der Institutionen, von denen Artikel aus Elsevier-Titeln kommen und 90% derer mit Cell-Press-Titeln teilnehmen. Heißt: Wenn die größten 30 der 900 Institutionen nicht teilnehmen, wird's schwer, diesen Grad zu erreichen.

Surprise Surprise: After very long* negotiations with #Elsevier the #DEAL agreement has been finally concluded. Now around 900 institutions in Germany should be able to publish #openaccess papers in Elsevier.

*The publishing landscape has fundamentally transformed over time, making some previously established Elsevier journals obsolete.

The question is, will German academics go back to submitting their research to Elsevier journals?

Wie kaputt das wissenschaftliche Publikationswesen ist, merkt mann, wenn nach jahrelangen Konsortialverhandlungen so etwas rauskommt: "Für Veröffentlichungen in hybriden Zeitschriften der Marken Cell Press und The Lancet gilt eine APC von 6.450 € netto. Sie unterliegt ab 2025 einer jährlichen Preissteigerung von 4%." #DEAL #Elsevier cc @brembs

Nun ist der #DEAL-Vertrag mit #Elsevier abgeschlossen.
https://deal-konsortium.de/vertraege/elsevier

Lesender Zugriff auf alles.
Publikation überall.
PAR-Fee 2.550 € bzw. 6.450 € in Cell Press und Lancet.
Fully Gold abzgl. 20%.

Ganz grob.
Immerhin keine Verpflichtung PURE zu implementieren wie in anderen Ländern.

I missed this #Elsevier pilot project with #OpenPeerReview in 2019.
https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-018-08250-2

"Publishing [#PeerReview] reports did not significantly compromise referees’ willingness to review, recommendations, or turn-around times. Younger and non-academic scholars were more willing to…review & provided more positive & objective recommendations. Male referees tended to write more constructive reports…Only 8.1% of referees agreed to reveal their identity in the published report."

This will only get worse! It looks like the authors may not have disclosed their use of #ChatGPT. Thanks to @dltj for the OP.

What if the fediverse is not just how #scientists leave #Twitter but how we leave #Elsevier? I could imagine someone building peer review tools into #mastodon, adding #LaTeX support, building infrastructure for long term backups, citations. Those predatory for-profit publishers cost the scientific community more than enough money to pay for developing the tools which would replace them. I think what would be key is getting buy in for the idea from the major organizations like AAAS, IEEE, APS(American Physical Society) etc. I think that a form of peer reviewed microblogging on a platform like this might be the future of science communication, both inside the community and for communication with society at large.

"In February, a coalition of consumer advocate groups… ask[ed] the agency to use existing federal laws to 'rein in widespread harmful behavior' by the industry, citing companies like #RELX…& #ThomsonReuters…as 'occupying the top of the personal-data food chain' and in need of stricter oversight."

I am all into #metadata but hesitating to dive into #classification yet. Still have to decide on the most useful one besides required #DDC. Whish I had #SDG #Mapping like #pure. I am all for #OSS but #Elsevier did a pretty good job here https://www.elsevier.com/about/partnerships/sdg-research-mapping-initiative

@petersuber
A journal owned by #Elsevier doesn't like preprints? Quell Shock.

Anecdote on this #Elsevier piece from @openwarfare : Dutch amily member bought shares in Shell and Elsevier (now #RELX) at roughly the same time many years ago.

The shares made a 43% return on Shell, a company dedicated to extracting oil and gas, and 137% on academic publisher Elsevier. 😱🫣😶‍🌫️

*THAT* is how valuable our academic labour (and presumably taxpayer money paying universities and research councils etc) is...
