@brembs @franknorman What is also striking is how that APC diversity scales with metrics like impact factor for an arguably identical service. E.g., Cell Rep £4,300; Curr Biol £5,700; Dev/Mol/Cancer Cell £7,000; Cell £7,800. Elsevier’s full APC pricing is here: https://t.co/oNXTfE5BW6

It's Friday. So I asked GPT-3 to write a poem about #OpenScience. Here's what it wrote.

Open science is the way to go
The benefits are clear to see
It allows for collaboration
And speeds up the process
Of scientific discovery

This account by @michael_upshall of the launch of @science_octopus yesterday encapsulates my thoughts about it. It's a radical and interesting idea - but a huge hill to climb. I wish them luck. https://t.co/IOL7WSpgIv

Love the responses from the audience, a lot to unpack there! #BetterTogether

Fun play on words from @barendmons

FAIR data could also be ‘Fully AI Ready’ data

Works for me

If you’re interested in helping to shape a leading open access journal then you should read this. Elife are looking for a couple of researchers to join their board.

Preprint servers @medrxivpreprint @biorxivpreprint @researchsquare, did you know Europe PMC is now indexing full text #preprints supported by Europe PMC funders from your servers increasing the discoverability of your content? Read about it in our blog: https://t.co/M6dGPx5rrG

It's not always easy to find a preprint's peer-review history, associated journal decisions etc. Read about DocMaps, a project to improve what RC project leader @tlemberger calls "the plumbing of scientific publishing"(@sever is also featured in this post)

[Yvonne Nobis @yvonnenobis]

This is an interesting thread.
Librarians do what they believe most researchers want - but due to the scholarly publishing system, it is difficult to move away from big deals without a great deal of inconvenience .
It's time to come up with alternatives (subject based?)

This is a really interesting interview, about John's early career in publishing, #preprints and some of the inside story on the origins of @biorxiv and @medrxiv.
