!!! From "Big Deals" to #OpenScience !!!

The Université de Lorraine cancelled Springer (2017) & Wiley (2023) – and reinvests the savings in Open Science.

€500,000 is spent annually on infrastructures, support services and scholar-led Diamond OA – guided by a broad, representative committee.

We perceive publishing as a journey that is not merely a straightforward, singular event. Why limit the dissemination of research and ideas to just a book when they can be shared through online courses, video interviews, and various other formats?

Our platform tackles two primary challenges researchers and organizations face today: the urgency of publishing research promptly and the creation of a fair revenue system.

#Academic community, I need some help :)

Do Acadamic Journals offer themselves as an electronic PDF of the entire journal ediition, or is everything a web index page linking to PDFs of individual articles?

Everything I have searched for so far seems to indicate the latter, and I am more interested in how journal looks in book form, e.g. does it have and introductory editorials? is it just papers with a cover page? are published papers headed by abstracts? whats the layout like?

If anyone could point me in the direction of an actual PDF or “online reader” of a journal in it’s full & complete glory, I would be most appreciative :)

I just added two new journals to the list of 💎📑 #DiamondOpenAccess journals in the small Guide that Opens Science at 🔗guide.opens.science/publishing - @rupdecat pointed me to the Journal of Open Source Education earlier, and then I also found the International Journal of Open Educational Resources.

Does anybody know any other Diamond OA journals to add?

Or better yet - is there already an overview of Diamond OA journals somewhere?

Last year, we found that @OpenAlex was mistakenly marking some papers as retracted—misleading researchers. We @hauschke reported the issue, posted a preprint in March 2024, and… #OpenAlex fixed it almost instantly! 👏

Meanwhile, our peer-reviewed paper on this? Published today - over a year later. See the difference? Preprints matter. Open science works.

Our #OpenAccess #book fund is showing real results! One of our supported researchers, Stephan Schleim, shared that their book "#Brain Development and the #Law: #Neurolaw in Theory and Practice" has been downloaded over 4,000 times!

🔗 link.springer.com/book/10.1007

Stephan's publication was part of the first funding cycle that contributed to the publication of 47 open access books.

Speaking of widespread low-quality scientific publication and the need to take care with words: https://retractionwatch.com/2025/02/10/vegetative-electron-microscopy-fingerprint-paper-mill/
The phrase was so strange it would have stood out even to a non-scientist. Yet “vegetative electron microscopy” had already made it past reviewers and editors at several journals when a Russian chemist and scientific sleuth noticed the odd wording in a now-retracted paper in Springer Nature’s Environmental Science and Pollution Research.

Today, a Google Scholar search turns up nearly two dozen articles that refer to “vegetative electron microscopy” or “vegetative electron microscope,” including a paper from 2024 whose senior author is an editor at Elsevier, Retraction Watch has learned. The publisher told us it was “content” with the wording.
Note the presence of Nature publishing group, notorious lately for their low-quality AI slop or AI-boosterism, and Elsevier, who is generally terrible.

I often wonder how academic publishing & peer-review can continue to work, in the era of the LLM. One specific issue: is the "megajournal" concept now dead? Pioneered by PLOS One, it was (loosely) the idea of a journal that will publish anything that meets basic quality criteria. Now in 2025 that seems naive, because (a) those criteria can be gamed by LLMs; (b) peer-review is unreliable to enforce the criteria, awash in generated text from both sides. #academicpublishing #peerreview #megajournal
