Stuck on a tarmac due to shut-down related transit delays? We have you covered. A new issue of The Brief is out! It is not at all Brief, however. It is not our fault. A lot happened this month. www.ce-strategy.com/the-brief/ga...

We are thrilled to announce that our NEW Large Language Model will be released on 11.18.25.
Yes, yes, Europe has its benefits. Walkable cities. Cultural heritage. Amazing food. Little gun violence. Healthcare. Governments that are not shut down. But the number of website pop-ups asking one to accept cookies renders the continent pretty much unlivable.
A Chicago Pope implies the existence of an MLA Pope and APA Pope

The NIH *accelerates* the Nelson Memo while the US government sends vaguely threatening letters to several journals. Meanwhile, China enters phase II of its journals Excellence Action Plan. All in the latest issue of The Brief (@brieferyet.bsky.social) www.ce-strategy.com/the-brief/ze...

New from @brieferyet.bsky.social. In re-writing this 6 times to keep up with the madness, we have focused on just the chaos related to publishing. And there is a lot. CDC retractions and the likely death of the Nelson Memo for starters www.ce-strategy.com/the-brief/ch...
Chaos | Clarke & Esposito
Chaos rules. Nelson Memo dead? Probably. Morressier + Molecular Connections. OA beyond the APC.

This poor mom is dealing with her son who believes that 1990 was nearly 35 years ago. Our education system is in tatters when kids don’t know how to do basic math. 1990 was 11 years ago.
100% agree. For me, writing is how I go about thinking about a topic. Using an AI is more like reading someone else’s thoughts than developing your own.
Anne Oeldorf-Hirsch@anneo.bsky.social · 2y agoIs anyone else just *not interested* in using AI for their writing? All accuracy and morality aside, I just don't want to. I want every last word I put on a page to have flowed out from my own body. Maybe I'm romanticizing it, but I just can't see it any other way.

Will the Nelson Memo survive? MIT Press builds an open science research agenda. eLife loses its JIF. Is the conversation moving to Bluesky?

The Nov. issue of The Brief is coming together. Topics to include: - The fate of the OSTP "Nelson Memo" after the 2024 election - Momentum at Bluesky (hello!) - eLife loses its impact factor - C&E worked on a new report from MIT Press on the future of OA 👉 Get Briefed: www.ce-strategy.com/subscribe/
We are getting questions about what the change in administrations means for the "Nelson Memo" and related federal agency OA policy. While we are monitoring the situation closely (and scenario planning with clients) the short answer is "no one knows"
Really happy to see the report we helped put together for @mitpress.bsky.social on the workshop we held meant to build a research agenda for advancing open science. Press release here with a link to the report and videos of each session www.eurekalert.org/news-release...

After 64 issues I have finally made the ending quote in The Brief. I consider this a career milestone 🤣 www.ce-strategy.com/the-brief/ca...
Media businesses just don't scale. They scale a little in an old-school way (you can combine back office functions and whatnot) but they don't scale like tech businesses. Vice, much like WeWork, pretended to be a tech business. Reality bites. www.cnn.com/2024/02/22/m...
I somehow got on the mailing list of service called "BookRetreats" where you book a yoga retreat or whatever. Every time I get an email from them I think it is a service where you go and read books for a week somewhere and am all like "oooh, I want to do that" and then am deeply disappointed
Any time someone suggests there is a 4th dimensional master plan regarding the former Twitter I'm reminded that fiction does some people a mis-service, because it trains them to believe there's an actual storyline when in fact much of real life is people trying to build wings after they've jumped
