👀 Looking back: 2024 in scholarly publishing In this retrospective, LSE Blogs reflects on its top 10 posts about #ScholarlyPublishing from 2024. From #Preprints to #GroupAuthorship, these blog posts highlight key developments from the past year and prompt us to consider how scholarly publishing can be more sustainable, equitable and useful. For those of you keeping abreast of developments in #ArtificialIntelligence (#AI), this second reflection on working with generative AI is a must-read too 👉 https://lnkd.in/e9_vPMft #AcademicPublishing #MedicalPublishing #OpenAccess #OpenScience

The Open Science Monitoring Initiative (OSMI) is calling for interested parties to join one of four working groups: 🩺 Scoping the needs of open science monitoring 🗺️ Understanding the open science monitoring landscape 📰 Open science monitoring with scholarly content providers, and 📊 Shared resources and infrastructure to analyse scholarly outputs. These working groups will support OMSI’s aim to promote the worldwide adoption of #OpenScience principles and monitoring practices. Expressions of interest are welcomed until Wednesday 15 January 👇 #OpenSciencePrinciples #OpenScienceMonitoring #OpenResearch #OpenInfrastructure

🔊 It’s not too late to register for #ISMPPEurope2025! Taking place from 27 to 29 January in London, UK, the meeting offers a full agenda of plenary sessions, workshops, roundtables and poster presentations on the theme of 'Core values for an integrated age'.

🤔 How can #AI support #ResearchManagement workflows? In this article, Anna Aston (Section Manager at Imperial College London) explains how research managers and administrations can leverage AI tools to juggle conflicting and concurrent responsibilities. Tired of reformatting data, trawling for relevant research articles or checking for data entry errors? Anna suggests AI tools that, when guided by expert human oversight, could revolutionize research management workflows. 

The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation has awarded PLOS a US$3.3 million grant to support the elimination of article process charges (APCs). The 3-year funding package will allow PLOS to reduce or remove financial barriers to authors publishing in their journals. As Niamh O'Connor (Chief Publishing Officer at PLOS) explains, the goal is to “demonstrate the feasibility of APC-free, open science-based publishing models and inspire a transformative shift across the scholarly communication landscape”.  #OpenScience #OpenAccess #ArticleProcessingCharge #ScholarlyPublishing #AcademicPublishing

“A responsible #AI [artificial intelligence] framework isn’t just a moral imperative; it’s a strategic necessity,” explains Harry Muncey (Senior Director of Data Science and Responsible AI at Elsevier). In this article, Harry discusses the socio-technical nature of AI and describes Scopus AI – a generative AI tool that creates research summaries from the Scopus abstract and citation database – as an example of ethical AI development. #ScholarlyPublishing #AcademicPublishing #ScientificCommunication #MedicalCommunication #ArtificialIntelligence

🆕 The National Institutes of Health introduces new Public Access Policy The US National Institutes of Health (NIH) has announced a new Public Access Policy that will ensure the results of NIH-funded research are available without a 12-month embargo period. It is hoped the policy will allow researchers, clinicians, students and the public to access results “as quickly as possible”. The NIH is also providing guidance for researchers and institutions to improve the discoverability of their research through the use of metadata, persistent identifiers and NIH-supported repositories. Comments on this guidance are welcome until 21 February 2025  👉 https://lnkd.in/euryfSr5 #OpenAccess #OpenScience #OpenSciencePolicy #SciencePolicy
