Ending publisher profiteering The Australia Institute has just published a paper on ‘tackling the academic publishing oligopoly’. (But why didn’t they include their own publishing method in the recommendations 🤔?) policycommons.net/artifacts/…

Pleased to have indexed and preserved @dpc_chat's The Bit List 2023 on #WDPD2023 (hence the green stamp below). You can access The Bit List here bit.ly/3SpJ8EJ (and proud as punch that we're mentioned in the #greylit section!)

Talking about grey, what about #greylit discovery engines like @Policy_Commons ? There’s more and more grey lit emerging from research centres hosted by universities and it’s not being captured by traditional discovery services.

I second this! Also, for all those report publishers who don’t know what a repository or DOI is (i.e. most of them) don’t worry, @Policy_Commons has got your back. We’ll harvest your reports, attach a PID, archive a copy and make them discoverable (for free).

What's worse? That only 4% of digital resources contain African voices or that these digital resources are outside Africa? With Africa Commons, we are enabling #Africa to control, digitize, and disseminate its archival riches. If you're at #UKSG2023, visit stand 89 to learn more.

The link to my new article (about important stuff missing from the scholarly record and why this matters) didn't work yesterday - but it does now! The article features Bernard of Chartres (R) and Isaac Newton (L) doi.org/10.56012/ajel9043 🫡 @UKSG @Official_EMWA @Policy_Commons
Bernard of Chartres sitting on a giant's shoulder. He wrote in c.1175: "We see more and farther than our predecessors, not because we have keener vision or greater height, but because we are lifted up and borne aloft on their gigantic stature".

In 1675, Newton wrote to his rival, Hooke, "If I have seen further it is by standing on the sholders (sic) of Giants.” But he failed to mention that he was quoting Bernard of Chartres - perhaps he didn't know?
