Last time we talked about the evident hijacking of the PalArch Journal of Vertebrate Paleontology. No-one seemed to know what had happened or how. I managed to track down Andre J. Veldmeijer, who was involved with the PalArch journals a while back. Based on my Facebook Messenger discussions with him, here’s what we now know: Andre is not involved any more with these journals.

In die Sommerruhe des Augusts trudeln einige weitere Veranstaltungshinweise, die einen sehr lebhaften und intensiven Open-Access-Herbst versprechen. Die in gut einem Monat in Köln stattfindenden Open Access Tage 2024 zum Thema "DEAL, Diamond and beyond – Open Access zwischen Souveränität und Abhängigkeit" sind da nur ein Glanzlicht. Ein weiteres ist das kurz vorher am 05.09. stattfindende Open Science Barcamp 2024, das diesmal in Kooperation mit der Vernetzungs- und Kompetenzstelle Open Access Brandenburg an der Fachhochschule Potsdam veranstaltet wird. Und auch die Reihe Quo vadis offene Wissenschaft in Berlin und Brandenburg findet diesen Herbst und bis in die erste Jahreshälfte 2025 ihre vierte Auflage. Der erste Termin und sein Thema stehen jetzt fest: In der Auftaktveranstaltung am 21. Oktober 2024 geht es um das Open Access Monitoring und die sich daraus ergebenden "Chancen und Herausforderungen für die offene Wissenschaft". Weitere Informationen zur Veranstaltungsreihe gibt es auf dieser Seite im Open Access Blog Berlin.  https://blogs.fu-berlin.de/open-access-berlin/2024/08/02/quo-vadis-4/

In the past week, three senior research strategy figures at the University of Oxford have called for removing the open access ‘burden’ from the rules for the next Research Excellence Framework (REF). For the past REF excercise, open access has been a requirement for all submitted journal articles and UKRI are also now consulting on plans to include books within the rules for the next exercise.

The day today is Tuesday 11th June 2024. It marks at least 193 days now since the subscription access journal Heterocycles (e-ISSN: 1881-0942) was taken offline by its publisher. Published since 1973, it is a “key” journal in chemistry and contains over 17,000 articles which have been cited at least 164,000 times. The journal is preserved in the CLOCKSS archive.

The Founder and Co-Director of OpenCitations, Prof. David M. Shotton, peacefully passed away on Saturday, 18th May, after a long battle against illness. With his death, OpenCitations lost a Director, a Mentor, and a Guide. OpenCitations wouldn’t have existed without David’s foresight, which led him to design the first prototype of OpenCitations as a one-year project founded by JISC in 2010.
