There's actually three locations in OpenAlex:
api.openalex.org/works/W31319...
OSF, HAL and BioHackrXiv. Not sure though why they're in that order.

It's a bit rich from Springer Nature to talk about 'Openness' while being the the very first publisher to enforce deletion of abstracts of Closed Access articles in OpenAlex.
Wouldn't that be a good place to start Realising the Benefits of Openness, @schoenenberger.bsky.social?

In January, @paul.globalcampus.ai will visit APE on behalf of Global Campus. Feel free to reach out if you want to connect!

There could be just the internal workflow angle for Springer Nature, as they acquired the science division of Slimmer.ai in oct 2023, which had been doing a lot of their internal reviewer identification already.

Hi James, there was no public announcement as far as I know, there's this git commit in the OpenAlex source code that we noticed:
github.com/ourresearch/...

More open abstracts? | Sesame Open Science Comparing abstract coverage in Crossref and OpenAlex

More open abstracts? Comparing abstract coverage in Crossref and OpenAlex by Bianca Kramer bmkramer.github.io/SesameOpenSc...

So perhaps the main question is how we convince publishers like Elsevier that the downstream effects of closing abstracts are significant, e.g. fewer citations, opens, and clicks because many tools cannot index the content anymore.

Bianca Kramer (@MsPhelps@akademienl.social) Attached: 2 images We are seeing increased commodification of abstracts - perhaps not surprising given their importance in GenAI. In 2022, SpringerNature had abstracts from 'their' non-open access...

I fully agree - but perhaps this is more about protecting discovery tools like Scopus for Elsevier? Bianca Kramer over at Mastodon has suggested it could be related to the value of these abstracts for Generative AI. (akademienl.social/@MsPhelps/11...)

After Springer in 2022, now Elsevier forbids OpenAlex to store abstracts of Closed Access papers.

We think this is a worrying trend, hindering the discoverability of research. @relx.bsky.social Is this what you mean with 'Empowering Open Science' ?
