Looking at the two most complete researcher workflow portfolios, those owned by Digital Science and Elsevier, one of the glaring differences has been Digital Science’s lack of a citation database to compete with Elsevier’s Scopus. Today, Digital Science announced Dimensions, […]
[…] are understandably hesitant to take action against their own authors. Instead, they are focusing their efforts on developing their own workflow and sharing platforms while seeking to collaborate with or weaken competing ones. These two options are brought into sharp […]
Here I propose a framework for a Voluntary Contribution Transaction system to recognize the voluntary contributions in the scholarly workflow and to give tangible benefits to the volunteers.
New data literacy and artificial literacy standards are necessary and emerging. The workflows and iterative mindsets the Digital Humanities can help inform our approaches.
[…] Uncertainty in a Changing Industry Scholarly communication is a field in constant flux. Business models are evolving every day, reshaping workflows, professional roles, and incorporating new technologies. In this ever-shifting environment, uncertainty isn’t a weakness; it’s a fact of professional […]
[…] are interesting because they blur the lines between lab work, data management, analytics, and publication. They treat the digital research workflow as a continuous stream rather than a set of disconnected tools. This shift, turning experiments, data, and code into […]

On the positive side, AI is helping us improve workflow efficiency, enhance author services, and potentially accelerate peer review. We’re exploring AI tools for better manuscript matching, language assistance […]

Editors’ tasks are very much linked to journal quality, publishing integrity, quantity of articles, journal indexing, timeliness of the workflow, branding and reputation, coordination, and thinking of growth, for example. But, preventing misinformation from spreading is simply not one […]

Such inefficiencies caused by reverse delegation extend to institutional resources, disrupting publishing workflows and wasting valuable time and energy that could be redirected toward innovation and growth. To solve this, academia needs […]
