International nonproprietary names (#INNs) seem too rational for this world.

Tired: Organizing the world's information and making it universally accessible and useful.

Wired: Owning the web and middle-manning every interaction in the world, thus maximizing ad revenue.

Inspired: Using ML to middleman the whole idea of knowledge into an stochastic word-slurry so people need to quadruple-check every piece of information they ever want or need by clicking around to dozens of other sources, thus maximizing ad revenue.

There was a solution all along.

John Willinsky of the Public Knowledge Project (who run OJS) gives us a sneak preview of the Publication Facts Label, part of their Journal Integrity Initiative. Aims to be an industry standard, using the US nutrition facts label as a model.

Proposes a button, like CrossMark, that will show metadata about the journal, e.g., publisher, editors, acceptance rate, indexing, and article, e.g., peer reviewers, COIs, data sharing, funding.
