Certificate issue in DirectAdmin
My own installation of FreshRSS would not load this blog’s RSS feed. And the RSS validator complained about a certificate issue, even though I could connect without errors in a browser.
Interesting: a researcher, Marcin Kozak, gets a lot of unsollicited email (spam) trying to convince him to publish in a journal or with a publisher and decides to check out these journals and publishers. Kozak, M., Iefremova, O. and Hartley, J. (2015), Spamming in scholarly publishing: A case study. Journal of the Association for Information […]

Terms of Semantics
From the “just throwing it out there” dept. in cooperation with the “I’m too lazy to do some research into existing efforts” dept.

Thomson Reuters legt op hun website uit hoe de simpele formule achter de IF […]
Let me describe ArticLib. It is a vision to share printed articles without much overhead and save paper and printer toner in the long term.

Now only users capable of deciphering the captcha can edit. There has always been some spam. I have […]
At a panel discussion about publishing cultures in academia on the 18th of December 2012 (which unfortunately I didn’t attend), De Jonge Akademie published a little book on the topic [zotpressInText item=”2GMXVGV6″]. Although the book’s paper size is almost the same as my Sony (PRS-T2) e-reader’s screen size, the PDF version isn’t really readable on […]
