Could the USSR have won WWII without Stalin? #rihlive

@catladylib I used to do this during the day as well. My dentist told me to try warm compresses (like a warm washcloth) and stretching my jaw throughout the day. It worked well for me.

I've seen this piece promoted several times this week, and it's always great to see the academic voice speaking up strongly about the costs and wrong-headedness involved in academic publishing [1/12]

Finally! "...it is disappointing that senior figures at one of our leading universities are not more alive to the responsibilities and opportunities that attend the realisation of a more inclusive OA policy."

👀Well worth reading this blog post from @martin_eve & colleagues highlighting why defending the status quo re: OA & the REF will only benefit the elite: https://t.co/Jv3D3HKyj3 🔥

I guess this is a good time to mention that I started a new job at @embl as an Open Science Information Specialist.

[Margaux Larre-Perez @larre_perez]

What are your best suggestions (books, webpages, courses ...) for someone starting (and learning) scientometrics/bibliometrics?

Sometimes when people ask me for suggestions I am not sure I have the best ressources so I thought I would ask you all :)

[Katie Hughes @KatherineAnneH]

@Nicki_SotonLib @SarahHLib Thank you so much! And thanks for being so supportive - it was much appreciated!

Having trouble keeping my eyes open this morning though 😴

[Katie Hughes @KatherineAnneH]

Very relieved to finish the final talk. Shout out to all the kind people in the front row (@SarahHLib being one) nodding along enthusiastically. #UKSG2024

[Katie Hughes @KatherineAnneH]

@epicbayj Exactly. I assumed, like you did that they meant OA articles published in a hybrid journal but it wasn't 100% clear.

[Katie Hughes @KatherineAnneH]

@epicbayj Good to know I'm not alone, I was quite confused as well.

[Katie Hughes @KatherineAnneH]

@Hannah_Crago_ so sorry I didn’t stop to talk. Computer was found and thank you for your kind words!

[Katie Hughes @KatherineAnneH]

@OpenResearchStA @Copim_community @KCLOpenResearch @RetractionWatch Thanks for sharing your evaluation criteria for R&P deals - it was immensely helpful! #UKSG2024

[Katie Hughes @KatherineAnneH]

@acochran12733 To clarify, the slide was referring to the Jisc TA Review and the HE sector as a whole. Individually, KCL will not be losing £12mn from the end of block grant support for the Read & Publish deals. Hope you enjoyed the session 😊 #UKSG2024

[Katie Hughes @KatherineAnneH]

Getting the superhero poses ready for our session at 16:00 #UKSG2024

[Katie Hughes @KatherineAnneH]

Totally agree with @Hannah_Crago_ about making OA publishing the easiest option for academics. Hiding all the admin behind one email. I can completely relate to try to do this #UKSG2024

[Katie Hughes @KatherineAnneH]

This dog has asked many questions in Open Research (I’ve used him many sessions). #UKSG2024

[Katie Hughes @KatherineAnneH]

Excited for our #UKSG2024 talk today. It will be Nadia and I presenting but so looking forward to facilitating a (lively) conversation.

[Katie Hughes @KatherineAnneH]

Due to a lack of funds... our panel fell off a cliff. But not to worry, we still have a lot to discuss! #UKSG2024

Would love to hear from anyone what they are thinking about the future of R&P deals and budgets??

[Katie Hughes @KatherineAnneH]

@SarahHLib That’s what I’m hoping 🤞

[Katie Hughes @KatherineAnneH]

Morning #UKSG2024! Excited to get the day started!

A small plea to anyone who may have a spare USB drive or know where one is?? Ours seems to have been misplaced (the presentation is safe as we have practiced good RDM ☺️)
