@fchirigati@twitter.com (I need to get him on masto) kills w.r.t #scholcomm it in his interview as one of this year’s 200 #ERC researchers participating in the 7th Heidelberg Laureate Forum: https://scilogs.spektrum.de/hlf/10-out-of-200-escaping-the-dependency-hell-fernando-chirigati-improves-computational-reproducibility/

At the Internet Archive partner meeting at #iPres2019 this morning -- interested in seeing their next moves (and I see already they want to do more in #scholcomm...)

hey all -- The Center for Open Science is seeking graduate students, post docs, researchers and academic faculty to participate in survey to investigate the factors that affect the perceived credibility and use of preprints.

It's 20min & you don't need to have posted a preprint in the past to take it: https://virginia.az1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_3kFU2er17VY5uLP.

It's passed IRB also -- IRB Protocol Number: 2192.

Thanks & feel free to pass this on to interested parties!

Folks interested in #scholcomm and dismantling the corporate capture of scholarship, see above.

can someone explain to me why non-commercial creative commons licenses are not open when applied to scholarly articles?

I've heard this statment a lot but I'm not 100% on the underlying logic.
