It also suggests that most of us "intend" things to happen ... sorry to say, we're just minor cogs in this machine of #scholcomm

@HelenBranswell Hi #medlibs and #scholcomm people, is anyone talking about using a subscribe-to-open model to keep ProMED going? (Scroll up for the latest news)

Good line from Jamie Caridi, president of Bethany College: “There are so many orthodoxies at [colleges and universities]; some are load-bearing and important, and some honestly just weigh down the institution. You don’t know which is which until you start taking a hard look at things.”

He was talking about admissions. But I'd extend the same thought to #AcademicPublishing and #ScholarlyCommunication.

Who's afraid of open infrastructures?

Joanna Ball (#DOAJ Managing Director), Yvonne Campfens (OA Switchboard), and Tasha Mellins-Cohen underline the importance of non-profit infrastructure and standards bodies.

Boston Library Consortium joins the movement to support DOAJ

We thank BLC for their fantastic support.

If you care about #AI & its potential for/impact on #ScholComm, here's a chance to explore challenges/opportunities with leaders from #libraries, #publishers, tech, & more! Register for the #NISOPlus23 Forum (October 3 in Washington, DC): https://niso.org/forum/

The #scholcomm landscape has a feature it didn't have in my PhD field during my training (the twenty-noughts) -- namely, the pairing of prestige outlets with subsidiary journals of presumably lesser quality (however defined). How should I think of this? Should this branding affect my decision to e.g. review a paper, or submit my own work, or accept manuscript transfer following a rejection?

This pattern shows up in many places and I could make facile analogies -- small branch campuses of some larger organization, say, a hospital or a university or a bank -- but maybe that's going to be misleading.
