Academic-Led Publishing Day
This event is on 7 February this year. You may be interested in taking part. The web address is https://academicledpublishingday.com/. And no, I knew nothing about it until I spent five minutes browsing this afternoon.
Open access, once again
It seems to me that “open access”, in academic publishing, should include authors as well as readers; that is, there should be no heavy page charges for publishing an article (a small administrative charge is probably acceptable), and there should … Continue reading

Priority
The arXiv has made it easier to settle questions of priority, since all papers are date-stamped. However, it hasn’t made the problems go away. See https://pubpeer.com/publications/90BA3090D680D06326E43EC08CDEE8 for a depressing story. Will this kind of thing push us to a situation … Continue reading
Combinatorics at the EMS
Combinatorics is flourishing, at least in the lists of the European Mathematical Society publishing house. A few years ago, I mentioned the new journal Combinatorics, Physics and their Interactions, aka Annales de l’Institut Henri Poincaré D. Now they have announced … Continue reading
