Better Together: how Funding and Quality Certification Empower Public Infrastructures for Diamond Open Access | Septentrio Conference Series The transformation of research communication and access systems toward open, equitable, and sustainable models requires robust public policies based on a fine-grained articulation of public resources to strength digital infrastructures. Political support, funding streams, legal frameworks, enforcement mechanisms, infrastructures, human resources, time, consensus, and organizational capacity are the key instruments for effective grass routed open science policies. This proposal examines the role of National public policies in advancing Diamond OA, focusing on two main policy instruments: dedicated public funding streams and public based quality certification services for journals, Diamond institutional publishers and publishing platforms, and OA repositories. The Spanish Foundation for Science and Technology (FECYT), under the Ministry of Science, Innovation and Universities, issues these services since 2020 and 2007 respectively.

Make academic publishing a commons, not a market - Research Professional News Commercialisation has thwarted the promise of openness—it’s time for new priorities, says Samuel Moore

Me encantan algunas de las reflexiones de @samuelmoore.org en este artículo de opinión:

"The move to #DiamondOpenAccess is a great opportunity to stimulate such an environment by directly funding presses less reliant on the market"

A Comprehensive Guide to Tokenizing Text for LLMs In natural language processing (NLP), large language models (LLMs) like BERT, Claude, and GPT have become prominent, as they push the boundaries of language understanding and text generation. But have...

The tokenization process involves dividing input text and output text into smaller units, known as tokens, suitable for processing by LLMs. Tokens can be words, subwords, characters, or symbols, depending on the model’s type and size

What's all of the commotion in the Tadpole nebula? Star formation. Dusty emission in the Tadpole nebula, IC 410, lies about 12,000 light-years away in the northern constellation of the Charioteer (Auriga). The cloud of glowing gas is over 100 light-years across, sculpted by stellar winds and radiation from embedded open star cluster NGC 1893. Formed in the interstellar cloud a mere 4 million years ago, bright newly formed cluster stars are seen all around the star-forming nebula. Notable near the image center are two relatively dense streamers of material trailing away from the nebula's central regions. Potentially sites of ongoing star formation in IC 410, these cosmic tadpole shapes are about 10 light-years long. The featured image was taken in infrared light by NASA's Wide Field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE) satellite. Open Science: Browse 1,400+ codes in the Astrophysics Source Code Library
