The MICER announcement for next year is a good prompt for me to announce that I am starting a small research project exploring the impact of MICER.
If you feel MICER has been of benefit to you, I want to know. Details and link to form: michaelseery.com/what-has-mic...
We strongly suggest that academic publishers and other platforms that host research rapidly implement a Share to Bluesky button for their articles. Here's how:
