Darrell Gunter makes a very interesting case for "compute-ready documents".

Some Google searching suggests that other people call these objects "semantic twins".

Some of my questions:
* Do you know any researchers creating or crunching them?
* Do you know any publishers publishing them?
* Do you know any repositories collecting them?
* Do you know any search engines indexing them?
* Do you know any AI tools building on them?
* Do you know any promotion and tenure committees giving career credit for them?
* Do you know any debates about their strengths and weaknesses for research?

1/ I'm seeking expressions of interest from nonprofit organizations to take over the Open Access Tracking Project ( #OATP, @oatp) and the open-source software ( #TagTeam) on which it runs.

Contact me <peter.suber@gmail.com> if you have any questions or any level of interest.

Update. "For the 1990–2023 period, we find that only Indonesian, Portuguese, and Spanish have expanded at a faster pace than English [in academic publishing]… Social sciences and humanities are the least English-dominated fields… Policies recognizing the value of both national-language and English-language publications have had a concrete impact on the distribution of languages in the global field of scholarly communication."

Hi #MedMastodon #OpenAccess #PublicAccess #ScholComm folks
What's up with the VA's implementation of the 2022 OSTP memo?
SPARC still lists it as lacking an updated publication and data sharing requrement policy.

From #FritzHolznagel: "When science discourages correction: How publishers profit from mistakes."
https://theconversation.com/when-science-discourages-correction-how-publishers-profit-from-mistakes-272657

Journals are slow to publish corrections -- slow as in years, even decades, allowing uncorrected articles to rack up citations. Corrections often appear behind paywalls, and conversely, paywalls make errors harder to detect.

"Science advances not by being right, but by discovering where it’s wrong – and fixing it. Systematic reform must reframe prompt correction as a hallmark of integrity, not a badge of failure…If publishers can profit from paywalled errors, they can afford open corrections…Journals should make corrections visible, prestigious, and citable, and expand #DiamondOA models. Wider access means more scrutiny and faster fixes."

Update. "By analyzing all articles indexed in the PubMed database (>36.5 million articles published in >36,000 biomedical and life sciences journals), we show that the median amount of time spent under review is 7.4%–14.6% longer for female-authored articles than for male-authored articles."
