petersuber<p>I don't much like the Open Access Publishing Agreement from the _Journal of Communications and Networks_. But I like the fact that the journal published it for all to see, including would-be authors. <br><a href="https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/11106345" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/1</span><span class="invisible">1106345</span></a></p><p>Every journal should do this.</p><p>That's my main point here. My reservations about the terms are secondary. But if you're curious, here are three points on which the contract could do better: <br>* It doesn't let authors retain rights.<br>* It uses CC-BY-NC rather than CC-BY. It even says that "third-party requests for reprinting, republishing, or other types of re-use" must be approved by the journal. <br>* It charges an APC, and one that grows with the number of pages in the article. </p><p><a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/OpenAccess" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>OpenAccess</span></a> <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/ScholComm" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ScholComm</span></a></p>

petersuber<p><a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/AI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AI</span></a> tools seem to be generating a large swath of low-quality, formulaic biomedical articles drawn from <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/OpenAccess" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>OpenAccess</span></a> biomedical databases. For example, since the rise of <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/LLMs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>LLMs</span></a> about three years ago, the number of new biomedical articles is about 5k larger than previous moving average would have predicted.
