@petermurrayrust @lisalibrarian Hi Peter, thanks for your thoughts, and I totally understand your concerns. My personal perspective: I remain CEO and totally committed. We chose DG carefully and really feel this is a stable (non-mega-pub) long-term home for ]u[ to continue its mission, following our charter.

[University of Aberdeen @aberdeenuni]

Aberdeen University Press has entered a major new phase by becoming an online and fully Open Access university press. It will work with @ubiquitypress to make high quality international research & all forms of creative & documentary writing open to all. https://t.co/MZqy0dI0yv

I think we should rename the Ubiquity support center to the 'weird bug hotline' as per XKCD:

My last US conference before the pandemic was Code4Lib in Pittsburg in March 2020. It’s really pleasing to be back here again for the first post-pandemic one with #LPForum22

[Brian Hole @brian_hole]

In Pittsburgh for #LPForum22 this week, but first it’s down to business with the Pirates

We love to see you reading our #openaccess books - @PjThinker's 'Conflict, War & Revolution' has passed 1,000 downloads! 🎉

If you are interested in international relations, political thought, or philosophy, Kelly's book is a must-have for the field.

@w_carruthers This is a bit citation focused, but with a good literature survey that may include papers with more ‘engagement’ analysis: https://t.co/PrQEQtHQCM

[Brian Hole @brian_hole]

It’s great to see this happening in comparison to the UK where library closures under ‘austerity’ are depressingly frequent.

[Todd Vision @tjvision]

Carrboro is, or at least was, the biggest town in NC without its own library. Very happy to see ground broken for a new one (and skills center, and teen center, etc) today.

Highly commendable, and more journals should consider following the CARE Principles for Indigenous Data Governance https://t.co/3Vnl65HsrU

[Mark Parsons @chutneyboy]

The Data Science Journal will not publish anything about Indigenous peoples without the engagement of Indigenous peoples.

This does seem very problematic behaviour for a European publisher in the context of GDPR. Even if it weren’t, at a minimum you should treat your customers and their privacy with respect.

[Eiko Fried @EikoFried]

New blog in which @robinnkok & I describe what data Elsevier collects, & what to do about it.

Teaser: private phone numbers, IP addresses, what papers you read & when, what actions you perform in Mendeley & when, which emails you read, and much more.

[Brian Hole @brian_hole]

Nice improvement - a more efficient peer review process and much better author experience overall!

[Swiss Psychology Open @SwissPsyOpen]

Annoyed by slow reviews? @SwissPsyOpen introduces option for scheduled reviews for all articles types: https://t.co/zKZl4cRtAm.

Thanks @julien__mayor for suggesting it.

The idea was introduced earlier for @PCI_RegReports by @chrisdc77, https://t.co/kHVFjnLlxv.

The first post in our "Reading about Race" series! Bringing together articles and books from across Ubiquity Press that address sociocultural issues related to race: https://t.co/NTTnzhSpnR @SthlmUniPress @ucpress @VirginiaTechPub

[Ubiquity Press @ubiquitypress]

Ubiquity Press started from a commitment to openness and transparency in academic publishing. But being open means taking a stand on more than publishing. We stand against police brutality and anti-Black racism https://t.co/irMCWqmA9j
