Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

The theme announced by the title of this article covers a very large field, a field we will aim to restrict for the purpose of focusing on selected issues. A reflection on scholarly publishing, and in particular journals, must be based on a survey of the players in the sector. This first step will allow us to underline the more-than-significant place held by non-profit and “responsible” journal publishers in scientific communication. Through this we will also examine alternative models that confront the disproportionate stronghold of the big commercial publishers and their oligopolistic practices. This, in turn, will allow us to take into account the estimated effects of these models on the non-profit journal sector. As a last point, we will mention possible actions that could be taken, in terms of public service.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Full frame distilled prediction

Teacher imitation

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
