1) The membership of this work group contains no one from commercial publishing, in other words, the group that creates most of what the other groups consume. 2) Contrary to the contention that the comments are "out of scope", legality is an absolutely critical requirement that is in scope by definition. Does the NISO's enabling legislation even allow it to promulgate a standard that is known to be illegal? Todd Carpenter 3) The signatories are a Murderer's Row of organizations representing every aspect of commercial book publishing including agents, authors, and publishers from most parts of the world. In short, it looks to an outsider like the problem is that this group was convened with the wrong charter and the wrong membership. As Ms. Halperin suggests, it's a pity the process was allowed to waste two years of everyone's time.

This is similar to my own experiences while running the Panorama Project, where some individual publishers — and even more individuals within their organizations — were willing to explore ways to collaborate, but most hid behind trade associations that refuse to seriously engage libraries as valued partners. While CDL has often been misrepresented by publishers and some library-adjacent organizations with their own agendas, it can be a mutually beneficial option in specific instances. That'll never happen as long as publishers' default stance is that libraries are the enemy. Meanwhile, next week, dozens of publishers will be in San Diego declaring their love for libraries, which really just means all the free marketing they provide despite regularly being treated like pirates. #libraries #publishing #ebooks #cmonson

📢 How does limiting access to home addresses in public records impact investigative and accountability journalism? A study by Jodie Gil of Southern Connecticut State University published in Brechner's Journal of Civic Information, found that 89% of investigative reporters rely on home addresses for fact-checking, source verification, and location-based stories. 🌐 Check out the study here: https://lnkd.in/dPZN9K6X #Journalism #Transparency #FOIA #BrechnerFOI #PublicRecords

Peer review rings are a serious threat to academic integrity, involving collusion among authors and reviewers to manipulate the peer review process. These unethical practices undermine the credibility of scholarly publishing by ensuring that substandard or fraudulent research gets published through favorable reviews orchestrated by ring members. Recently, Integra’s Peer Review and Research Integrity team uncovered and dismantled a peer review ring. By analyzing data and detecting suspicious patterns, our experts identified and addressed this collusion, safeguarding the journal's reputation and ensuring a fair and rigorous review process. Thanks to Integra's vigilance, the journal's reputation was protected, and a fair peer review process was upheld. Curious about how Integra supports research integrity at leading journals? Let’s connect and discuss how we can help! ☕👥 #ResearchIntegrity #PeerReview #ScholarlyPublishing #Integra

In my paper on California's Journalism Preservation Act, I examine the long history of newspapers' hostile reception of new technologies and competitors, from radio to AI. It's quite a tale. Here's that section from the paper: https://lnkd.in/e3mB2B9p
