Congrats to my grad alma mater @Stanford for their new #openaccess policy, widening the 2010 @StanfordEd policy to the whole university. Fantastic! And thanks go to @StanfordLibs for establishing the new Office of Scholarly Communications. stanford.io/37lKHdB

Here's an idea: Maybe (says @InfoEcon) there should be a market in truth for political ads and social media posts. Liars pay; truth-tellers can signal their honesty backed by bucks. See dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/34… for details.

@infodocket @AmericanPublish A little more @Auths_Alliance and a little less @AuthorsGuild would be a good idea.
