Kudos to the #Frick_Institute (@thecrick) for its policy on #OpenAccess and #OpenScience,
https://www.crick.ac.uk/research/publications/accessing-our-research

In addition to supporting #preprints, content #mining, and #DORA #assessment reforms, it applies #CCBY licenses to all research carried out at the institute.

"arXiv is a cancer that promotes the dissemination of junk 'science' in a format that is indistinguishable from real publications."

Riled by low-quality #preprints about #ChatGPT, @emilymbender pulls no punches. Thoughts, @academicchatter?

An interesting Letter to the Editor in CMI. It actually makes 2 separate but related points: 🧵

1. States the benefits of authors re-using peer review performed by other journals, even in the case of paper rejects. It points out the importance of honesty by the authors (though presumably journals can talk to each and also share that information).
