BIZARRE NAME: This 'product'? 'service'? is called World Brain Scholar www.world-brain-scholar.eu & apparently uses AI for manuscript processing. FAQs are revealing. AI can't replace humans in peer review - but this is completely scalable. Skirting the hallucination issue. Washes hands of copyright.
CALL OUT - a technical question. Anyone out there who is using Article Galaxy Scholar integrated with LibKey Nomad? We are having issues where two different DOIs for the same article (eg: an 'international' one & a 'local' one) are being interpreted as two articles. Is this your set up get in touch
GULF: I am lucky enough to be a member of the first cohort of the OpenAIRE Open Science Training Policy Programme. This evening is day two of Sprint 1. These Science Europe survey results scienceeurope.org/our-resource... just underline how far behind Australia is on this thinking

We need to be careful of metrics that distort behavior. We need to consider how the assessed feel. We need to consider if our measures of excellence are broad and pural enough, and yet not be easily gamed or watered down to almost nothing.. It's a hard even wicked problem (8)
Kudos to the #MIT Grad Student Council for adopting "a resolution expressing support for campus #libraries to exit #bigdeal journal packages and calling for changes to #promotion and #tenure processes to move away from journal-based #metrics."

#FORCE2026 is officially open! “To Go Far, Go Together” sets the tone as we move from “Publish or Perish” to Purpose & People in research assessment reform. Great to see DORA Co-Chair Ginny with SMU President Lily Kong, after strong opening keynote on the need for reforming research assessment.
And it's all (apparently) about the AI/Research synergies 🤢provided by the "proprietary content"*. I'm so TIRED.
