@dhobern i'm shocked that's not a better known story. #crossref is staffed by cool people that I like now, but literally nobody i have talked to has been aware of the origin story that is extremely clearly spelled out in the one historical document i can find on the origin of the DOI system (i'm sure there are others, i just haven't been able to find them). I think this document is startlingly revealing because it was commissioned in 2009 before being loud and proud about "fuck everything about the commercial publishers" was a common thing, and it was before the shift in business models made people give a critical eye to the infrastructural underpinnings of their power.

they literally say "we cooked up the #DOI in a smoky back room for the sole purpose of killing Harold Varmus' plan to make universal free to publish, free to read open access that looks a hell of a lot like eLife's publish, review, curate model in 1999." it's text not subtext

"Is global warming real?" It's a legitimate question when asked by innocent people confused by calculated misinformation.

Hint: So far this year we've covered 1,080 academic papers on climate science, climate change, and dealing with the many-faceted climate mess we've created. By #CrossRef count, some 9,456 researchers helped to extend our understanding by contributing to this effort. In seven weeks.

This edition is another #OpenAccess cornucopia.

New preprint analysing coverage of #Crossref #metadata from @LudoWaltman @neesjanvaneck @cwts 🙏

doi.org/10.31222/osf.io/smxe5

"Several initiatives have been taken to promote the open availability of bibliographic metadata of scholarly publications in Crossref. We present an up-to-date overview of the availability of six metadata elements in Crossref..."

"...the analysis also shows that many publishers need to make additional efforts to realize full openness of bibliographic metadata."
