THIS IS LIBRARIANSHIP 💯
"a space where libraries can support strategically excluded communities toward the aim of pushing against these structural injustices, especially by providing publishing avenues to amplify social concerns + work for a more humane collective future."

I wrote a book! Plan S for Shock is a story about open access to research: what it is, why it's important, and what the future of publishing looks like. Out today! You can buy a print copy from @ubiquitypress or download via open access (for free!) here: doi.org/10.5334/bcq

"The merger pushes this market to the brink of a monopoly and tilts control of the research ecosystem further toward the largest commercial players—and away from the best interests of the research community." Our statement on the Clarivate-ProQuest merger: sparcopen.org/news/2021/spar…

Hey @CityofEdmonton, want to improve mobility for those of us that don’t only drive personal vehicles? Close the outer lane eastbound on Victoria Park Road permanently, now. Install concrete jersey barriers to protect users. Build better ramps in key locations. We need the space.

Vote "No". For sure the clock changes are bad, but DST in the winter will be soooo much worse!

One of the most powerful interviews we’ve had on @RealTalkRJ. I’m grateful for #OrangeShirtDay founder Phyllis Webstad’s honesty and courage, revisiting her own #residentialschools experience. #TRC #cdnpoli #TruthandReconciliationDay #TruthAndReconciliation #RealTalkRJ 🧡
"It was just really pee-your-pants terror in every way."
Phyllis Webstad shares the residential school experience behind her starting #OrangeShirtDay, which has led to National Day for Truth & Reconciliation.

Next: Dump RG and post your articles in your institutional repository.
Free, legal, #openaccess, with the critical added benefit of long-term preservation and accessibility (unlike RG).
Ask your librarians about it!
Dear @ResearchGate,
Thank you for your message and the threat to suspend my account. To avoid this from happening in the future, my group will never submit a paper to an #Elsevier journal again.
#OpenScience
Kind regards,
Prof. Wim Thiery

man, had a moment yesterday where i realised everyone in my research team is genuinely more invested in the credibility and clarity of their science than its publishability. thoughtful, pre-reg'ed open science quant *and* qual with unselfconscious methods humility. it's -DOPE-

We recently renewed our commitment to making our own scholarly outputs available through open access. #OpenAccess enables anyone to read and make use of research products at no cost and with limited copyright restrictions.

If your institution isn't living up to its potential (*cough*UdeM*cough* *cough*McMaster*cough*) it may be that people just don't know. Send the #EndTheCCV letter around by email so folks can decide if they agree & wish to sign: tinyurl dot com / EndTheCCV tinyurl.com/EndTheCCV
