Pritzker is also furious: β€œShould National Governors Association leadership choose to remain silent, Illinois will have no choice but to withdraw from the organization.”

The new Wiley journal review system is an absolute nightmare. Editorial assistants have been replaced by a clunky, AI-enabled website that makes it harder to find and invite reviewers. Associate editor workloads have increased. I'm not convinced the invitations to reviewers are even going through.

Baker & Taylor appears to be shutting down. A post on the r/libraries subreddit from an employee of B&T breaks the news and there appear to be other employees in the comments confirming the situation.

We have the Insurrection Act for a reasonβ€”

But it's not so a President with 34 felonies can ignore court orders and punish cities he doesn't like with military intimidation.

Especially not when the courts are telling him his claims of insurrection are "untethered to the facts."

Trump says he'll send troops to Portland, Oregon, to handle 'domestic terrorists' President Donald Trump says he'll send troops to Portland, Oregon, to handle β€œdomestic terrorists” as he expands his controversial deployments to more American cities.

Oregon governor says Trump is abusing his authority by ordering troops to Portland, a city that is "just fine."

Every single one of these clips was taken today in downtown Portland. Portland doesn’t want or need a federal takeover. If Trump insists on sending federal β€œresources” he can start with funding health care, bridges, affordable housing, and wildfire protection to name a few.

This is Portland right now. We’reβ€œunder siege” by pollen and potholes, that’s about it. We have a ton of live webcams if you want to watch us go to the farmers markets or walking our dogs, we love dogs.

Just FYI: Portland as a war zone is horseshit, and deploying federal troops is horseshit.

At the request of Secretary of Homeland Security, Kristi Noem, I am directing Secretary of War, Pete Hegseth, to provide all necessary Troops to protect War ravaged Portland, and any of our ICE Facilities under siege from attack by Antifa, and other domestic terrorists. I am also authorizing Full Force, if necessary. Thank you for your attention to this matter!

Trump says he authorizes Hegseth to deploy the military to Portland, which he lyingly calls "war ravaged," and says he is authorizing "full force."

Federal cops β€˜instigating’ confrontations with protesters outside ICE building, Portland police official says in court Assistant Chief Craig Dobson said federal officers were β€œcausing some of the ruckus” at the ongoing protests.

β€œA Portland Police Bureau assistant chief said in court recently that federal police were β€œinstigating” some of the clashes between officers and protesters outside the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement building in South Portland.”

Some critical context about Trump's troops to "war-ravaged Portland" that most folks don't know: Any conflicts there between protesters and ICE agents are happening because ICE agents ARE PROVOKING THEM

They are not even bothering a basic disinformation campaign regarding the β€œwar ravaged” conditions in Portland or pretending that they are trying to be the good guys: just flat out staying they are invading a peaceful Democratic city because they can.

Now that I've actually read the post, my opinions are:
1) Don't mint a new DOI until the actual content of the manuscript changes. Having it duplicated at MetaROR with supporting files isn't enough
2) Define a new type, such as "reviewed preprint"

The Trump administration is moving aggressively to privatize the VA β€” arbitrarily laying off employees, lowering the quality of, and limiting access to, health care that veterans receive.

Unacceptable. We must stand with veterans and oppose all efforts to privatize the VA.

Trump and the MAGA regime control the House, the Senate, and the White House. They refuse to even TALK to Democrats about funding our healthcare!

Who do YOU think is responsible for a shutdown?

All praise to our Dear Leader, working relentlessly to prevent #TrumpsGovernmentShutdown. He's at the epicenter of negotiations at...mmm...the Ryder Cup match.

Trump just signed a an EO that allows the full power or the federal government to go after extremist groups.

Stephen Miller predictably went on a rant about Antifa, but not a *single* reporter asked if they’d be going after right wing extremists too.

Shameful.

English is widely used as a lingua franca in scholarly communication, yet preserving local languages is vital to reaching a broader audience. Disseminating research in multiple languages can help ensure equitable access, a responsibility shared by both publishers and authors. This study examines the practices of both groups to identify any notable differences. Several academic social networks, preprint servers and repositories are analysed to evaluate the resources currently available and their existing policies. Additionally, journals that actively promote multilingual dissemination are reviewed to understand their implementation strategies and how these align with the standards set by their DOI Registration Agency (DOI RA). From the author’s perspective, differing policies across platforms can heavily influence decisions, mainly because not all platforms provide relationship metadata. Publishers face similar challenges, underscoring the urgent need for standardization. Moreover, the lack of consistency creates opportunities for unethical practices in academia, such as counting the total of citations originating from the same article in different languages. This highlights the importance of a more comprehensive approach to evaluating research beyond citation and document counts. Collaboration among publishers, authors and other stakeholders is essential to fostering greater understanding and preventing misconceptions in the academic landscape.
