Yeah, uh, this whole thing has been pretty wild. Up to nearly 12K page views, which is by far the most popular post I've ever done. Posts on the politicization of science in Canada have always been popular, but in the 1-2K page view range.

Now it's slashdot and stumbleupon.

Who did you pay, and how much?
- Yo Joe. No, go slow.
I wish I were that smart. I guess I should mention that I did submit the post to BB but I imagine they pick up only a very small portion of what's submitted. I suspected I would have a decent shot because Cory Doctorow is Canadian and he has posted about the Canadian goverment in the past. Aside from that, all I did was tweet it up a bit more than usual.
- John Dupuis
Didn't know that there was a process for submitting posts to BB, and that is good to know.

I was thinking somebody (or pref. group) really does need to start an ethical Predatory Publishers List--but a better definition of predatory is needed. Splitting journals, lots of new journals, phony "sponsored" journals, republishing articles, excessive page charges, double-dipping...

And the group that does it needs to be Scholars With Credentials, I think. (Ducks and runs.) Preferably scholars within libraries... and yes, I actually am more than half-serious about this. It might redeem a useful term from its currently debased state.

Let me make it clear: 1. I think this is a great idea. 2. I know better than to offer to help, for several reasons, some of them probably obvious.
- Walt Crawford
This is a great idea - a cross between "retraction watch" and "regret the error" but for journal titles (TA and OA) that pull stupid journal tricks.. I'm in. Can we do it as a blog? Start with some overall "here's the problem" and add new examples as they arise?

Where I *can* help--down the road: If there's a reputable site with reputable, transparent criteria and reputable postings, I'll certainly promote it as a reputable way to look at publisher problems. As opposed to the disreputable way, only suitable for True Beallievers.

UC Libraries had it on trial through end of April. I used the iOS version and I hope they pick it up as a regular service.
- henry
I am a strong supporter of mobile platform development, but there's no way that my library is going to pay for an app that is charging us for content that we already have. The fact that they think that each platform is a separate cost item also suggests to me that they should be selling the app directly to users, and building it so that it connects to institutional content.
- DJF
from Android
You have to load your SFX into the thing though? I'm not sure how that would work if it were an app sold to individual users. They'd have no idea what they should have access to.
- Meg V. Meg
SFX does offer APIs for developers that can connect to particular institutions' knowledge bases. It could be done.
- Laura Krier
In fact, I would LOVE an app that let me connect to journals (and ebooks) that my institution subscribes to and save, organize, and annotate articles.
- Laura Krier
Isn't that what's being done through BrowZine? My point is that, if the app were sold directly to individual users (rather than institutions), then how would the users have access to SFX holdings info.
- Meg V. Meg
My impression from when I spoke to them -- before they split the platforms -- that this was a cost thing. They could get iOS up and running and bringing in money and then could work on the Android side (and they were seeing, at that time, significantly lower demand for Android). I guess my take is, these guys are clearly start-ups, and expecting them to be the Big Boys isn't the right...

- RudĩϐЯaЯïan
I'm still pretty on the fence about BrowZine, so I;m really curious -- what made you tip to the trial? What about it makes you feel this is something enough users want and will use, to justify the price? And how are you telling folks? And how are evaluating whether or not to keep it?

He said something nice about DPLA on Secret Agent Fister's latest IHE column. I was surprised. Unless it wasn't actually him!
- RepoRat
I find Thatcher confusing--I don't think he's a full-time troll, but I'm mostly not sure what he is or believes. One of the few people who talk about OA who I really can't pin down. (Almost like I used to be, perhaps?)

On this particular list he has to comment multiple times on every single thread regardless of the relevance on his running the penn state press (and retiring some time ago). I'm sure he makes some good points but geez.

I think we should crowdsource editing that letter since I noticed some errors in it.
- Yo Joe. No, go slow.
So, let me get this straight: people who offer negative reviews or opinions will get sued. This means reviewers are less likely to review their books for fear of reprisal. Less reviews means less exposure for their titles. Less exposure means less likely to be seen to be purchased. Less purchases means less sales for the company. That's their plan?

Once upon a time, when the stars attained certain positions in the sky, the Libraryfolk would gather. In their sensible shoes and plastic-framed glasses, they would ride the escalators up and down, down and up. They would zig and zag to avoid unscrupulous vendors in the exhibit hall. They would brave receptions to forage for sustenance and drinks. They would search in vain for passable coffee. In their sweaters and pashminas, they would shiver in underground caverns with poor wifi, listening to the drone of the Elders. And so it was, year after year, season after season, for such are the ways of our people.

I found out about the LSW from Meredith in an American Libraries mag article. [Let me see if I can find the citation...Or maybe it was something she wrote about in her blog.]
- Yo Joe. No, go slow.
I found out about LSW chat room from someone...I think CIL maybe? I do remember that the first two people I talked to in the meebo chat room were these people named grasshopper librarian (martha) and pegasus librarian (iris) who were both very, very nice to me. especially since I think I was stuck in an airport

April 27th, 2007, Josh tweeted about being fed up with ALA dues. Then he tweeted about starting the library society of the world. People were to tweet back their names and titles in this organization. It was a total joke for a while, with people adding names and bylaws to the wiki he started that day. I added the bylaw that we would always be one short of a quorum. I still stand by that bylaw. Another bylaw was that there would never be any dues.
- lris
I consider myself a founding member, having joined on that day and added a bylaw to the wiki. I'm sure there are a lot of other founding members.
- lris
Bingo, this is how I learned of the LSW. http://meredith.wolfwater.com/wordpre...
- Yo Joe. No, go slow.
Then came the meebo room. Then came the CIL presentation with Laura Harris, Steve Lawson, at least two other people, and a room full of meebo room users projected on the wall (including Jason Griffey and Walt Crawford and many many others). THEN came Friendfeed, which I joined reluctantly, feeling like it was a fad and not nearly as easy to use as Twitter... So judge my opinions of new things wisely in future.

Sandwiched: Grilled Cheese Sandwich with Sun-Dried Tomatoes and Harissa | Serious Eats - http://www.seriouseats.com/2013...
Iván Abrego, Steven Perez, Hieronymous Boosh and 7 other people liked this
"A grilled cheese sandwich and a bowl of tomato soup are perhaps the most comforting of soup and sandwich combos. For me, the mere mention of grilled cheese sandwiches and tomato soup always seems to conjure memories of rainy days from my youth —though I'm not sure if I'm actually remembering events from my own childhood, or some Kraft and/or Cambell's soup commercial. As an adult, the combination is still just as comforting, but for convenience's sake, here's a way to incorporate the soup into the sandwich. A grilled cheese sandwich made with sharp white cheddar cheese is given new life when studded with sun-dried tomatoes, and spread with harissa, a spicy Tunisian condiment of various red peppers. And instead of using butter to brown and crisp this sandwich, dip a pastry brush into the olive oil in which the sun-dried tomatoes were packed. Then lightly brush the outer sides of the sandwich with the infused oil for an additional hit of tomato essence. A grilled cheese sandwich with sun-dried tomatoes and Harissa—a spicy soup and sandwich all in one."
- John (bird whisperer)

Huh. I love the idea for using the oil the tomatoes are packed in (though I usually buy ones that aren't packed in oil, since they're messy to prep.)

Actually, I'd be interested in some pointers to a refutation of the blog post from Run Joe Run above - it does seem that many altmetrics capture the attention garnered by a some aspect of research. But how does one extract meaning from that?
- Rajarshi Guha
gosh :(
- Ross Mounce
You'd think someone against managerialsim ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki... ) would actually *support* the broadening of research evaluation. I don't think he's read enough around the subject. Seems to be caught on the straw-man argument that it's just raw uncontextualised numbers of tweets and facebook likes.
- Ross Mounce
@Rajarshi you might be interested in my refutations against some of the misunderstandings about altmetrics here on this thread: http://occamstypewriter.org/boboh...
- Ross Mounce
Thanks Ross. The comment thread there is quite interesting - but the sense I get from is that while citation stats focus on scholarly usage, the altmetrics focus on social media citations (tweets etc) is more oriented towards public/popular usage of research. Certainly, it seems to be linked to how connectd you are. I'd guess there's some sort of 'rich get richer' effect at play in these metrics (?)
- Rajarshi Guha
"Rich get richer" is a recurrent problem, everywhere. It caused by human nature, sadly. Despite our "civilization", humans are still selfish bastards: "feed my own children first". Fortunately, many people do realize that doing that *can* also be beneficial for other children. Sadly, many don't (or don't care or worse). And then there is a class of people who mix up trust and science:...
more...
- Egon Willighagen
Now, back to #altmetrics... it *is* a really important question: what is impact. Too many people do not see that metrics are tools (estimates) of what we are really interested in. But since we do not have clear what we really are interested in (except food for the children), it is hard to rank metrics. Worse, people think they understand what those metrics estimate, and are often wrong....
more...
- Egon Willighagen
Additionally, we need good (open) diagrams showing how various impacts relate to each other... "without visibility, no impact" (whatever those mean). Each connection will be linked to literature about that link. For example, does higher accessibility lead to higher citation counts?
- Egon Willighagen
Finally (and then I'll try to do some "science" again, hahahaha!) we need better tools for measuring thing. For example, can we please finally start taking CiTO serious and start pushing that massively?
- Egon Willighagen
+1 for CiTO :)
- Ross Mounce
What is CiTO ??
- Graham Steel
After a brief twitter exchange, this guy is clearly an "everything worthwhile must be in traditional journal articles" fellow, with no apparent interest in either acknowledging his rudeness to Heather or in seeing anything of value outside of traditional publishing methods.
- Rachel Walden
@Graham: http://www.essepuntato.it/lode... CiTO, the Citation Typing Ontology, is an ontology for the characterization of citations, both factually and rhetorically. It forms part of SPAR, a suite of Semantic Publishing and Referencing Ontologies.
- Ross Mounce
It's not just some ideological 'great idea' vapourware either. Citeulike has had it implemented for ages http://jodischneider.com/blog... trouble is marking up the relationships is currently all manual. If anyone has some semi-automated approaches / workflows I'd love to hear about it
- Ross Mounce
Wow, Rachel masterfully shows how it is done, here https://twitter.com/rachel_... and in subsequent tweets. Thanks for calling him on it in public, Rachel. Whether I'm a scientist or not shouldn't matter (though he's got no leg to stand on to say I'm not), let's talk issues.
- Heather Piwowar
+1 for CiTO. I dunno the best way to push it though, no tool yet that makes it easy. I think it'd have to be a tool that automatically classifies them when you submit a paper, and then authors are tasked to fix wrong ones. or other ideas?
