Thanks to all at #COASP for an interesting and enjoyable conference. Will be at the final lunch, so do say hello if you haven't already.

I'd add to this presentation: Humanities publishers are using XML (often JATS), they just aren't exposing it. #COASP

Job: Digital Humanities Librarian, Brown University http://zpr.io/GUa3

I don't suspect, for instance, that there is any serious room for not-for-profits in his worldview. #COASP

Aspesi, of course, sees the market as a neutral system. Total tension with the public good that I want from ScholComms #COASP

Aspesi says that IF/outsourcing of hiring/firing is biggest block to change in academic publishing. #COASP

Oh great. Aspesi warns not to be complacent; another financial crisis could be just around the corner. #COASP

Tipping point for #OA in Europe was only last year. Mostly green. Think Aspesi is over-estimating how much change we should have seen #COASP

Agree with @rd_pad: there's definitely some trolling in this talk! #COASP

I'd argue that there are often competing goals for OA movement. Centre-right govs. want it for v. diff reasons to left-advocates #COASP

Aspesi says that he isn't sure what the goal of OA movement is: many different goals. Why should there not be multiple goals, though? #COASP

Aspesi says that subscription publishing remains healthy but that full gold OA poses a large threat to their profit margins #COASP

Elsevier and Wiley's shares continue to do very well, despite massive incursion of OA, notes Aspesi #COASP

Aspesi predicts far lower impact from #OA than many claim #COASP (but then he isn't a researcher w/out access, he is interested in markets)

Extended introduction from Claudio Aspesi -- warns us that he's a financial analyst! #COASP

OJS 2.4.5 has been released - supports automatic CrossRef deposits! - https://pkp.sfu.ca/ojs-2-4-5-has-been-released/

Breaking news: Nick Clegg to record apology video for making Scottish devolution pledge.

Had a very nice evening with @OpenBookPublish, @gbilder and many others at #COASP - probably geekier than it should have been but good fun!

Pinfield discussing public audience for medical literature. Some claim that this isn't important. Suspect @McDawg would disagree. #COASP

Peter Finfield going back to basics - who is OA for and what is its purpose? #COASP

African Journals Online now planning continent-wide OA strategy. Impact Factor does huge damage to African journal publishing #COASP

African researchers pressured to publish contextually relevant material but in overseas journals. #COASP

Extremely difficult to recover costs in any form in African journal economy - APCs and subscriptions both very tightly squeezed. #COASP

The #OA and the Humanities book that I mentioned earlier - http://www.cambridge.org/eve #COASP

Would like to know more about how @FrontYoungMinds is working with schools #COASP

Frontiers has a "young minds" project where kids write reviews of scientific articles. Brute honesty apparently! #COASP

IOP have concrete anti-double dipping policy through offsetting #COASP @lawsonstu

RS: "Kinda hard to find advertisers for a mathematics journal" [I'm also not convinced in any way that it's a good idea] #COASP

Question from the floor re. advertising and its role in OA models for socs. Royal Soc.: haven't tried. #COASP

If interested, further qualitative work on humanities societies and OA can be found in the OAPEN-UK project http://bit.ly/1reQV5l #COASP

We're warned that the British Ecological Society will conclude "hooray, but..." on OA. Wonder whether that "but" might be finance... #COASP

Panel on Learned Societies and the transition to Open Access now #COASP

Struck by fact that challenges of efficient APC payment mechanisms similar to difficulties faced by Jisc Publication Router #COASP

Why do we want to use licenses for attribution when we have strong community norms that ensure this anyway? http://bit.ly/1uVX9Gg #COASP

Attribution is a legal requirement in CC licenses. The question of /how/ to do this is left open, though, says @CarolineSutton #COASP

The importance of standards #COASP (credit: http://bit.ly/ranDPF)

Begins with analogy by @CarolineSutton on phone chargers; why not standardised? #COASP (answer is, I'd suspect, corporate lock-in)

Now a panel on OA Publishing Community Standards #COASP

Putting research data in "cloud" could compound problem says @gbilder. Big dangers in lack of ownership linked to corp. finance. #COASP

Google and other companies are a serious threat to good people (in BioMed) remaining in the academy. #COASP

Potential to computationally identify commonality between incredibly diverse datasets. #COASP

I really hate conference wifi that aggressively blocks non-HTTP traffic. VPN/SSH dead in the water. Oh well.

(Might be true, but I got sense that what was meant was that "science 2.0" [ugh] has to engage and take input? #COASP)

"It is no longer acceptable for science to speak truth to power", apparently. Not sure if that was what was meant? #COASP

Unit tests and regression tests crucial to these kind of code + data projects. #COASP

10m lines of code involved in CERN reduction/analysis of Higgs data. Have to be able to check/verify that. #COASP

Thanks to Alma for the @openlibhums shout out, as well as @OpenBookPublish, @ubiquitypress & @KUnlatched #COASP

Swan giving a lot of attention to humanities, which is great. #COASP

Swan shows how little humanities material is available openly on the Web owing to STEM focus. This is very poor. #COASP

Swan singles out humanities disciplines for library publication initiatives, specifically with regard to long-form #COASP

New practices and technologies are now causing a resurgence of interest, though. #COASP

Library-based publishing panel now at #COASP with the great Alma Swan kicking it off. University publishing not new, of course, she notes.

Political/administrative drivers/constraints for SciELO include international environment, access, metrics, IF & prestige #COASP

Latin America, with the great SciELO platform, proportionately publishes the most open access research. #COASP
