[@RonaldSnijder] is an example of a researcher developing tools for the sake of improving scholarly communication. As an experienced software developer, he has a background in social sciences. Although his work has an impact on scholarly communication practices, it would not be considered by the evaluation systems in academia. Should we advocate for changing that? At the OPERAS Innovation Lab we answer “yes”
How to evaluate innovation in the humanities?

@rmi I created this meme forever ago to describe the devolution of information security, feel free to frame it
1970s & 1980s: Our mission is to achieve deterministic security and deductive, proof-based certainty of that security in our systems.
2010s & 2020s: Our hope rests in stopping laypeople from clicking on things on the thing-clicking machine.

Really excited to have a number of blog posts out today!
First of these is a brief recap on the Thoth Publishers' Workshop held on Nov 16, 2023
We're grateful for all participating publishers, and are looking forward to more workshops to discuss publishers' needs in the context of #OAbooks #metadata creation, management and dissemination, as well as archiving options for small and #scholarled presses and publishing initiatives that otherwise wouldn't have an option to cover these topics.
