  The programme is indeed both streamable and downloadable now at https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m000wz2h where there are also a couple of paragraphs headed “STM Media Statement”. I’m inferring that this was drafted by STM after hearing an advance copy of the programme although that is not

  Hello all, I apologise I sent an email about technical specifications to the wrong group email. A stupid mistake, and I’m sorry for clogging your inboxes! Danny Dr Danny Kingsley Scholarly Communication Consultant Visiting Fellow, Australian National Centre for the Public Awareness of Science,
• Specifications about OAI-12 recordings June 9, 2021
  Hello, I have some further questions about the recordings that have not been addressed by the specifications (I guess this is a learning process for all of us). Generally, resolving this question has taken up quite lot of our speakers’ valuable time, so can we note for next time that we need to

  The number of respondents from each region is too small to give significant statistical results so I think we may be looking mostly at anecdotal data. Also I take it the respondents are self selecting, not random. Still looks interesting qualitatively. We may get a hint of the reasoning behind

  I was involved in a panel set up by the IAP Working Group on Predatory Practices last October alongside the two speakers at the GUIRR Webinar, and the discussion was I believe used to inform the survey. The link to the survey is still live to give a bit more background ( https://www.interacademie

• RE: Lots of interesting OA data to discuss May 31, 2021
  Yep---bias, and also more “trespassing” as well. These types of analyses have been done by folks with a better grasp of the complexity of this landscape (no offense to the analysis itself, just the foundation). Eric Archambault’s work, for example, has been (I think) the category killer here.
