Crossposting is off, so for a time there will be different content on tusk and musk. Hopefully VT folks will continue moving over, and this bird site can go dormant or be deleted.
The rumours are true: we have launched a Mastodon server! In response to community requests and our own recognition of the potential in this moment, we are launching https://t.co/Dmj9kstrtO and invite you to join us 🎉

Accepting and rejecting papers is an archaic practice that is terrible for science. It strips peer review of its value & institutionalizes the practice of judging scientists based on where, rather than what, they publish. It's time for this system to go.

There is an obvious - and potentially central - role for scientific societies in this new publishing world. Instead of publishing journals, they should make their business to publicly review every preprint produced in or relevant to their field. https://t.co/tD1BovOzLd

Monday at 6pm, hear @hjoseph of @SPARC_NA talk about the new OA requirements for federally funded research, followed by our forum on OA, OER, open data
