🚨📜 Proud to announce that my new study, "Impact of the 2022 #OSTP Memo: A Bibliometric Analysis of U.S. Federally Funded Publications, 2017-2021" has been accepted for publication by @QSS_ISSI and is now available in Early View at https://t.co/aVJw60ADak.
We are thrilled to share our second white paper publication from our ‘Reasonable Costs’ project: “The Cost and Price of Public Access to Scholarly Publications: A synthesis”.

@najkoja @KBibliometrie@OpenAlex_org Excellent work, as always! I appreciate these blog posts.
I've been looking at the new OpenAlex doc types and comparing w/ Dimensions, see https://t.co/KI5fpWcmDD.
Conclusion so far is that things match more closely, but OpenAlex still includes conf abstracts as articles.
@rlmcelreath To be fair, I guarantee librarians at the MPDL are interested in and working on saving money (because I know some of them). What's striking here is how far MIT went, and therefore how much they saved.
@jasonpriem@cshperspectives@deevybee I would guess the only way for the citations to be removed would be for the retracted papers to completely disappear/be deleted from the scholarly record. Since there are several reasons I can think of why this would be a bad idea, no I don’t think the citations are updated.
Congrats to the group on another great preprint! OpenAlex's document type classification is one of my last major reservations. Would have liked to see Dimensions compared too.
New datapaper on journal's APC by @LeighkButler, @maddtrics, @eschares, @juancommander, @stefhaustein! Wow good job! https://t.co/8ACTKecnUu
You can see below the increase of APCs overtime and the highest APCs for hybrid vs. gold OA journals for publishers providing both types...

To continue this train of appreciation, SUB Gottingen has been a major source of inspiration to me. Seeing what’s possible when using and combining open data sources at scale makes me realize how much I need to learn SQL!
Just published: Inconsistent Hybrid OA rates when re-running the same analysis.
Why is Hybrid coming back twice as high as it did before?

Good to see that based on feedback that I (and I'm sure many others) gave to @OpenAlex_org , a new document type of "libguide" has been added to the data structure. Was previously grouped in the "article" type.
I've found the team to be v responsive and appreciative of feedback!
@aarontay@OpenAlex_org Yes as I understand theyre leftover from the MAG days. And they aren’t actively indexing them anymore so what LibGuide content is in OpenAlex is getting stale too.
@rlmcelreath Surprised this is still up, or maybe it’s another opening. I saw it last year and thought about it for a minute, but the. realized I’d be dealing with actual people’s lives and affecting families. Much different from academic journal subscriptions.
Happy to announce that my paper, "Impact of the 2022 OSTP memo" has been recognized with the 2024 Best Publication Award from the American Society for Engineering Education, Engineering Libraries Division (@asee_eld)!
