The pandemic didn't just increase the use of #OpenAccess research in medicine, including #preprints. It also increased the impact of research about #OA and #ScholComm.

"The pandemic provided a substantial boost to the impact of research [as measured by field-weighted citation impact or #FWCI] related to information seeking and scholarly communication. This may be largely driven by an increased need for accessible information, marking a significant shift in academic priorities after the global crisis."

Zwei Drittel aller #Wissenschaftsblogs in Deutschland kommen aus den Geistes- und Sozialwissenschaften. Nur etwa ein Drittel der Blogs sind bei der #DNB katalogisiert. (Und die de.hypo-Blogs sind bei beiden überrepräsentiert...)

Diese und andere spannende Erkenntnisse nehmen wir mit aus dem #OA Beitrag von @Catharina_Ochsner & Co, die die #WissBlog Landschaft in Deutschland kartiert & Best Practices aufgestellt hat 👇

Happy Halloween, punks! Let's all take a moment to remember the year I made my confused husband dress up as a paywall so I could be Open Access Hero.
