I might be leaving my job soon. Curious if anyone has ideas for jobs. Looking for software or data engineer roles. Here's my resume https://scottchamberlain.info/pdfs/resume.pdf - Thanks in advance for any tips! #python #ruby #rstats #otherlangsoktoo

Hi everyone! We are pleased to join the community!

PKP is celebrating 25 years as a community-driven, research-based #FOSS initiative. We're known for Open Journal Systems (#OJS) publishing software, used by 30,000+ journals around the world for independent publishing.

Our community also develops and maintains Open Monograph Press (#OMP) and Open Preprint Systems (#OPS).

We'll be posting about our community, research, development, and advocacy efforts. Glad to be here!

#introduction

For a colleague new to the open research / schol comm space, any relatively current primers out there? There are some classics, but a lot is in flux right now. I'm looking for something that captures that.

Yay! The Directory of Open Access Books just passed another milestone. It now contains more than 70,000 #OpenAccess #books

If you were allowed to use the landline in 1980's West-Germany, you always had the option to make a free call to "113": While 110 and 112 were for emergencies, 113 opened the door to a "Telegrammaufnahme". Dictate your #telegram, and get it printed on paper and mailed with a postal service. This service was labelled under "Fernsprechsonderdienste" and only terminated in Germany in 2022, when no one used paper telegrams any longer.

All I really need to know I learned in kindergarten, 12 years of primary and secondary education, a four-year baccalaureate degree program, a multiyear terminal degree program, a variety of both on-the-job and informal educational experiences, and personal continuing education efforts.

A friend attending #ICML just sent me a photo of this front runner for best poster award.

I miss written tutorials. I hate how every tutorial is a YouTube now. I don’t want to watch 15 minutes and forget to pay attention for the second that has the detail that I am missing or it just doesn’t show. Even short tutorials are 3 minutes when it could have been a ten second read. I want to skim a page and go directly to the point. Has writing really become that hard to do?

DOAB celebrates its 10th anniversary!

This year, the Directory of Open Access Books (DOAB), led by OpenEdition and OAPEN Foundation, celebrates its 10th anniversary. Since its inception, DOAB has evolved from an idea for indexing high quality peer-reviewed open access books and chapters to a globally used and open directory serving not only researchers and the wider scholarly community, but also the public.

@jamesjefferies @SonOfSunTzu no credit to me - it was @ljw's suggestion

This week, @gbilder upgraded our Abstractonator game at Crossref to use GPT-4.

Can you tell the machine learning-generated abstracts apart from the published version?
