Working for #openaccess to research. For #OA news, follow @oatp (https://t.co/qxDmJEpyth). I aim for comprehensive coverage there, not here. More active on #Mastodon.

1/ This is big. @WHOSTP is calling on all federal research funding agencies to adopt #openaccess policies. If they already have OA policies, they must strengthen them to meet the new guidelines. I'll add some summary points in a thread below. 2/ Here's the new (8/25/22) @WHOSTP memorandum.

It updates and strengthens a 2013 @WHOSTP memorandum from the Obama White House. For background, here's the 2013 memo.

Here are some of my questions, concerns, and comments about Musk and Twitter. * He wants to add an edit button. Good; me too.


But for now that's all I can say on the plus side.

Are any profs using #preprints to teach grad students how to do #peer_review? If so, are any profs encouraging students to submit their reviews to open-peer-review journals?

These Qs were prompted by this good article on a slightly different topic.
journals.plos.org/plosone/articl… Update. Here's a recommendation to try it with undergrad students. +1.

1/ I'd put this historically. "Gold OA" originally meant OA delivered by journals regardless of the journal's business model. Both fee-based and no-fee OA journals were gold, as opposed to "green OA", which meant OA delivered by repositories. 2/ Over time, some referred to fee-based gold as "gold" without qualification. That was sloppy, like referring to complex carbs as "carbs" without qualification. Sometimes we need adjectives to resolve ambiguity.

Update. Publishers may choose English because it's a lingua franca for science, intelligible to a larger audience. Or they may do it to increase their #JIF. (And of course the two motives may be related.) Research from Brazil.

Is there a crowd-sourced site collecting #COVID19 stories? How is the experience really affecting people? I've already heard several that I don't think most of us would have expected. I'd love to read a growing collection. It would also document the human side of the crisis. Here's one.

But it only collects stories of kindness. That's worth doing. But I'm interested in stories of all kinds, stories reflecting the full range of our experiences of the pandemic.
