It's fitting that @TIME, which removed its digital paywall earlier this year, chose to publish this @FrontiersIn op-ed from Dr. Julia Kostova on @WHOSTP public access guidelines and the Cancer Moonshot. #openaccess #openscience
Realizing the goals of #CancerMoonshot by @WHOSTP will not be easy. But, with 10 million lives at stake each year, #OpenScience can help us achieve them. @TIME article by Frontiers' director of publishing and head of U.S. division, Dr Julia Kostova ⬇️ https://t.co/DCMmYRRbxR

It's snowing. On Halloween. Again. I'm begging you, @chicago, ease up. I'm not a real Midwesterner yet. I don't have an emergency bottle of ranch or Malort.
It is snowing in #Chicago. It is Halloween. Midwesterners, you’re not even blinking, are you? This is just an autumn Thursday to you. Teach me your ways.

Our head of US public affairs Tom Ciavarella in @insidehighered. Who’s afraid of Open Science? The public pays for billions of dollars of scientific research. The @WHOSTP wants to give them full access to its results. Are legacy commercial interests putting on the brakes?

At @FrontiersIn we help researchers collaborate better and innovate faster. We see that same impulse in the bipartisan CREATE #AI Act to spur development of safe, reliable, and trustworthy #ArtificialIntelligence. https://t.co/lgCZGGX2we

And @PredatoryReport, don’t worry about legal action if you name @ElsevierConnect and @WileyGlobal as predators, as your prior post suggested. After all, you’re purposefully anonymous so you can avoid accountability. Another reason nobody should trust what you say.

I love how @PredatoryReport does my job for me. I notes that if society partnerships are predatory (as they assert), then they should add @ElsevierConnect and @WileyGlobal to their list of predatory publishers. I even gave them a few days to do it. For some reason they haven’t.

So, @PredatoryReport, you’re saying that @ElsevierConnect and @WileyGlobal, among many others, are predatory publishers. Quite the accusation. I wonder how they’ll respond.

All I did was ask them to show their work. @PredatoryReport
I’ve been on Twitter long enough to know that flame wars get you nowhere. But let’s be clear: this website is the worst of our industry. It’s all heat and no light. And if the owners won’t reveal themselves we should all speak out against it.

There is an effort afoot to block or undermine the OSTP guidance; it’s happening entirely behind the scenes and manifesting itself in appropriations language that has been neither publicly debated nor publicly supported. Read more in my @scholarlykitchn piece for @FrontiersIn

@PredatoryReport @FrontiersIn Perhaps I’ve been unclear. First, I’m not a lawyer. Second, my tweets try to educate & clarify. Yours do the opposite. Finally, I welcome researchers to contact me via LinkedIn or Twitter to have productive conversations about how Frontiers operates. How can researchers find you?

That’s two SSP keynotes in a row (@6figga_dilla last year and @MicrobiomDigest today) to point out that removing paywalls and supporting open science and open access would make their valuable work a heck of a lot easier. #ssp2023

How can scholarly publishers influence public policy? How do they adapt if they can't? And how does anything at all get done in Washington DC? On June 1 I'll moderate a panel at the @ScholarlyPub annual meeting answering those questions and many more. Hope you can join! #ssp2023

The TA deals were always a compromise, never meant to be permanent. @cOAlitionS_OA takes a big step here in voicing that reality. https://t.co/5ksXe7eNRG
