I'm trying to read a #Neuroscience paper published by #Wiley and it's showing me a banner that says only "healthcare professionals" should be reading the paper. What's up with that? Researchers are not allowed to read papers anymore? 🤔

Impossible to find a way to contact Wiley about it, but maybe someone out there will know them and might be able to ask what is happening?

The paper: Locomotor action sequences impact the scale of
representation in hippocampus and posterior parietal cortex #NitzLab #WileyOnlineLibrary #Academia

Screenshot of a banner seen on the Wiley publisher website when accessing a neuroscience article saying: "This material is only for use by healthcare professionals. By continuing to view this site you are confirming that you are a healthcare professional."

"Between 2019/20 and 2022/23, the University [of Cambridge] paid £12.6M to seven major commercial #publishers: #Elsevier, #Wiley, Taylor & Francis, #Springer, #Sage, Oxford University Press (#OUP), and Cambridge University Press (#CUP). This was the highest expenditure among 21 UK #universities that provided data."

Good to see: "This month, _Advanced Genetics_ is joining other #Wiley journals in implementing a “Mandates Data Sharing” policy…We and the other participating journals require that authors openly share data underlying their publications and upgrade our editorial workflows to better support data sharing and optional data peer-review. This initiative covers 88 Wiley Journals…across various fields."

2/ Here's the legal complaint.
lieffcabraser.com/pdf/Academic

The plaintiff is Lucina Uddin (@lucinauddin), a professor of psychology at #UCLA.

The six publisher defendants are #Elsevier, #Sage, #SpringerNature, #TaylorAndFrancis, #Wiley, and #WoltersKluwer. Another defendant is the #STM_Association, a publisher trade organization.

There are also 50 individual defendants ("John Does 1 through 50”) whose names will be revealed later.

Kudos to all 38 editors of 𝘗𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘰𝘴𝘰𝘱𝘩𝘺 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘗𝘶𝘣𝘭𝘪𝘤 𝘈𝘧𝘧𝘢𝘪𝘳𝘴 (pub'd by #Wiley), who just resigned to launch a new #OpenAccess (#DiamondOA) journal with @openlibhums on the same topics.

Fake studies have flooded publishers of top #scientific #journals leading to thousands of #retractions, M of $ in lost revenue. Biggest hit has come to #Wiley 217-year-old #publisher based in Hoboken NJ which announced it is closing 19 journals, some of which were infected by large-scale research #fraud. Wiley has reportedly had to retract more than 11,300 papers recently “that appeared compromised” as #generativeAI makes it easier for paper mills to peddle fake research. wsj.com/science/academic-studi

New study: "The current level of implementation of transformative agreements is insufficient to bring about a large-scale transition to fully #OpenAccess. A key finding…is that TAs maintain market concentration…The three largest commercial publishers #Elsevier, #SpringerNature & #Wiley dominate, particularly with regard to OA provided through TAs. Together, the 3 publishers accounted for 3/4 of OA articles through TAs."

arXiv.orgHow open are hybrid journals included in transformative agreements?The ongoing controversy surrounding transformative agreements, which aim to transition journal publishing to full open access, highlight the need for large-scale studies assessing the uptake of open access in hybrid journals. This includes evaluating the extent to which transformative agreements enabled open access. By combining publicly available data from various sources, including cOAlition S Journal Checker, Crossref, and OpenAlex, this study presents a novel approach that analyses over 700 agreements and nine million journal articles published in more than 11.000 hybrid journals. Estimates suggest a strong growth in open access between 2018 and 2022 from 4.3% to 15%. In 2022, 58% of hybrid open access was enabled by transformative agreements. This trend was largely driven by the three commercial publishers Elsevier, Springer Nature, and Wiley, but the open access uptake varied substantially across journals, publishers, disciplines, and country affiliations. In particular, comparing the developments in the OECD and BRICS areas revealed different publication trends relative to hybrid open access. In conclusion, estimates suggest that current levels of implementation of transformative agreements is insufficient to bring about a large-scale transition to full open access.

5/ Major update. The fired and resigning editors of the old #Wiley journal (Journal of Political Philosophy) just launched a new #OpenAccess journal (Political Philosophy) from the @openlibhums.

I track these journal "declarations of independence" in the #OpenAccessDirectory, and just added an entry for this one, near the bottom in chronological order.

The strain on scientific publishing 📄:

The publishing sector has a problem. Scientists are overwhelmed, editors are overworked, special issue invitations are constant, research paper mills, article retractions, journal delistings… JUST WHAT IS GOING ON!?

Myself, pablo, @paolocrosetto and Dan have spent the last few months investigating just that.
