Many researchers are subject to the (problematic) requirement that they need to publish their work in journals indexed in Scopus or Web of Science; if this applies to you, you can now finally submit your research to Quantitative Science Studies; we look forward to receiving your work!

In 2019 scientometricians protested against high APC of Elsevier's Journal of Informetrics and founded Quantitative Science Studies; meanwhile Elsevier has shamelessly increased its APC by another 50% to $3240, which is 4-5 times as high as APC of QSS ($600 for ISSI members, $800 for non-members)

Discontinuation of Microsoft Academic shows the fragility of infrastructures that depend on the goodwill of companies for which creating and maintaining these infrastructures does not represent a core activity, and does not bring in significant revenues

Contributing to social change sometimes requires doing nothing at all. I'm pretty certain that 100% of us are capable of doing that.

it depends

What I learned from this thread is that these citation errors were mostly in Elsevier journals and caused by an Elsevier style guide. The same Elsevier that sucks billions of dollars out of science in exchange for their 'great services'.
