Joining the European Journal of Taxonomy, the Biodiversity Data Journal is the latest #ScientificJournal to adopt a GBIF hosted portal! 🐟

This #Pensoft-published journal is the first of many under the masthead expected to participate in the GBIF programme.

Nilsson RH, et al. (20 Nov 2024):

20 years of bibliometric data illustrates a lack of concordance between journal impact factor and fungal species discovery in systematic mycology.

MycoKeys 110: 273-285.

🥳 Happy #OpenAccessWeek 2024! 🎉

👍 As an #openscience #journal, we wish to remind #scientists that their work is much more than what goes into traditional #research #papers; deserves immediate visibility, #discoverability & shall be recognised for its #societal valued & #impact!

Update. @pensoft just released a strong endorsement of the #EuropeanCouncil proposal for no-fee #OpenAccess.

"Hereby, we wish to express our full agreement with the Council of the European Union’s conclusion, that 'it is essential to avoid situations where researchers are limited in their choice of publication channels due to financial capacities rather than quality criteria'."

#APCs #DiamondOA #Pensoft

There has already been overwhelming support in the scholarly community for the EU 🇪🇺 Conclusions on scholarly publishing, e.g.,

https://www.coalition-s.org/open-science-stakeholders-welcome-european-efforts-towards-publicly-owned-and-not-for-profit-scholarly-communication/

and now this support extends even to certain publishers! #Pensoft and #ARPHA support the transition away from the current conglomerate of monopolists towards a genuine market with actual competition, which is one of the targeted outcomes:

"what drives innovation and revolutionary technologies is competition."

Biota of Northern Eurasia, a special collection of 11 data papers in #BioDataJournal, draws on diverse sources—like burial mounds, owl pellets, ancient settlement sites, and a bat rehabilitation centre—to increase knowledge of Ukrainian plants, non-avian vertebrates, fungi & spiders:

🧐 Everything you can do with #nanopublications in our #RIOJournal on #Pensoft's blog👇

Our #nanopub pilot project with @knowledgepixels gives our authors & readers several opportunities to use #nanopubs to contribute to #published knowledge in a #FAIR manner.

#openscience #openresearch #scholarlypublishing #journals #research #researchers #researchpaper #scientificresearch #scientists #scientificpaper #nanopubs #scholcomm

With our #nanopublications pilot project with @knowledgepixels and #Pensoft, we are giving #scientists the opportunity to publish #nanopubs alongside their standard research articles, as well as use the new-age format to evaluate & comment on #research #papers by others.
👇 More about the collaboration & why #nanopublications matter: 👇

🆕 #Nanopublications feature available at our journal thanks to @knowledgepixels & #Pensoft to add further (and machine-interpretable!) meaning to any published paper!

👍 You can now support, agree, disagree, discuss or otherwise express your take on publications! #openscience #openresearch #academia #research #science

Don't be a clod—stop by our #GSB2023 booth to discuss data papers on #soilbiodiversity!

Submit a #datapaper mss describing datasets about organisms whose life cycles depend on soil by 22 Sept. If #Pensoft's #BioDataJournal accepts it, #FinBIF 🇫🇮 picks up the APC!
