Margoline @margoline.bsky.social · 10/10/2025There’s a handful of angloamerican UPs not known as advocates for a fair equitable inclusive publishing system. Can we exclude them by definition for services like DDH? We realised we can’t without creating more harm than benefit. Better focus on much larger numbers of UPs covered by the definition 030

Margoline @margoline.bsky.social · 17/09/2025@eduroam.bsky.social is proof of concept what science can achieve if stakeholders sit down and solve a lot of little obstacles together to achieve a common goal.

Margoline @margoline.bsky.social · 17/09/2025#OAT25 One of the rare keynotes @excinequality.bsky.social I ever had the honour to hear that sparked an inspiring and thoughtful discussion. For example: if Diamond OA brings us just more outlets, more pressure on editors and reviewers, we don‘t solve problems. 012

Margoline @margoline.bsky.social · 17/09/2025#OAT25 My take fr Gabriele Spilker‘s talk of two conflicting dynamics in inequalities, self-enforcing and self-correcting feedback circles. It reminds me of transformative agreements that bring new inequalities (and problems) and #DiamondOpenAccess as an attempt to enforce self-correcting systems. 223

Margoline @margoline.bsky.social · 30/07/2025Would be interesting to know how much time the copy editors from large profit maximising publishers are allowed to spend on a given paper and how many articles they are supposed to process per workday.

Reposted by MargolineLudo Waltman @ludowaltman.bsky.social · 24/07/2025Fully agree with Rebecca Lawrence that "the research assessment ecosystem hinders innovative publication models that address our biggest problems in research". The other way around, I would argue that a failure to innovate scientific publishing also hinders reform of research assessment. 083

Margoline @margoline.bsky.social · 16/07/2025Those were more epistemic arguments. The processural ones are a consequence of that and so manifold I just mention some in random order. Prioritising based on one single data point (peer review) paves the way to gaming, exploiting, frauding. PR clogs the system and creates costs and workload etc etc 100
Margoline @margoline.bsky.social · 16/07/20254) we definitely get a skewed and incomplete picture of reality and science if we use the proxy “peer reviewed“ to prioritise meaningfulness and importance -> positive bias, output aligned to hegemonial structures, neglecting innovative ideas or diverging claims. 100

Margoline @margoline.bsky.social · 16/07/2025Ludo made en passant statement that is my most important takeaway. He said — hope I got it right — that within science widespread assumption of conventionally peer reviewed articles being more important than others causes problems. I fully agree. I‘ll add why I think it‘s a harmful assumption. 111
Margoline @margoline.bsky.social · 16/07/2025Looks like I can start a new carrier without much effort. Should I give it a try? I could talk about preprints and open access. I guess the generous organisers would accept this as appropriate topics. 000
Reposted by MargolineLudo Waltman @ludowaltman.bsky.social · 15/07/2025How to facilitate meaningful scholarly dialogue is a key challenge for the scientific publishing system going forward. Addressing this challenge needs to be accompanied by assessment reform, moving away from current practice of giving special status to peer-reviewed outputs relative to other work. 134
