[Oa-italia] Editori, pubblicazioni e...dati (ma non dati della ricerca)

[Elena Giglia]

Buonasera
lettura interessantissima che riprende il preprint *Replacing academic
journals* di Brembs segnalato ieri, con una frase che da sola vale la
lettura (di entrambi, preprint e articolo che lo discute):
Imagine the worst implications of theCambridge Analytica data scandal
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Facebook%E2%80%93Cambridge_Analytica_data_scandal>,
and then apply this to the entire academic workflow.
*Academic capture* by John Measey

Chi fosse interessato al tema dei data analytics tenga presente il perfetto
quadro offerto da Claudio Aspesi nella Lanscape Analysis per SPARC US
https://infrastructure.sparcopen.org/landscape-analysis
e nell'update 2021:

  The increasing concentration of scholarly communications, courseware
publishing, and data analytics into the hands of fewer commercial vendors
continues to raise concerns, particularly in the absence of evidence that
publishers have any interest in mind other than their short-term revenue
and profit growth. The focus on protecting revenues even in the face of
deep academic budget cuts, the relentless lobbying to protect “inclusive
access” practices that limit student choice, and the reluctance to abandon
practices that disadvantage researchers point to the conclusion that the
academic community can protect its values only by increasing control of its
own content and infrastructure. The past year has seen more deals that led
to more concentration, loss of diversity, and ultimately to the academic
community’s lessening control over its own destiny. However, there are also
positive signs: a large merger failed, Invest in Open Infrastructure (IOI)
was launched as a concerted effort to build a community-owned
infrastructure, and some legislative progress was made. Much remains to be
done, but the opportunity to tip the scales in favor of the interests of
the knowledge community is significant and must be pursued.

Quest'ultimo verrà presentato domani, 29 sett., ma sol per i membri di
SPARC US.
Cerco di organizzare una presentazione in italiano con Claudio Aspesi.

Cari saluti
