New research, “University journals in the global academic publishing landscape: Mapping over 19,000 diverse titles based on Ulrichsweb data” (free online). Looking at…

Scopus, Web of Science, DOAJ and OpenAlex, we compiled a dataset of 19,414 active, peer-reviewed university journals […] nearly three-quarters of the journals are indexed in OpenAlex, almost half in DOAJ, fewer than a quarter in Scopus, and fewer than a fifth on the Web of Science Core Collection. […] The social sciences and humanities dominate the disciplinary profile.

Around 35% of the journals in the dataset “published exclusively in English”, meaning roughly 6,700 journals.

When at a Web page… click to send the URL to a script… the script parses the full-text page into a junk-cleaned Readability format… then passes that cleaned Web page into your personal RSS feed of articles.

This is now done by Tobias Franke, as a standalone .php script and a bookmarklet. There are a couple of caveats. You have to have paid-for hosted web-space, and space that won’t throw a fit over a new .php file. Also it relies on FiveFilters to do RSS extraction, so is not private. However, the maker shows how to use Composer to do the same locally.

See also: rsstodolist, but there your custom feed is publicly accessible to anyone who knows the address.

The Prado museum in Spain freely shares 6,000 art history books and nearly as many magazines. Regrettably, their website is so painfully slow that I wasn’t able to test it.

From COAR, a handy new one-page Directory of Open Access Preprint Repositories (DOAPR). These are not being added en masse to JURN, I should perhaps add.

New in open source, Tagasuarus for annotating a locally-stored collection of media and documents. Images, audio, video, PDFs. The annotations are then stored with the files, and can then be searched across. No full AI to add rich image classifications, as yet. But there is a limited AI that can “automatically apply emotions [tags] when the images/videos have faces”.
