Are there any Buddhist #indexers out there? The Comprehensive Index of Pali Suttas has officially completed its first draft. If there is anyone out there who would like to offer specific feedback to improve it as the editing phase begins, that would be most welcome.

@delta also the whole "BuT #mEtAdAtA?" Discussion is completely blown out of proportions by #Signal fanboys.

In fact, I'm convinced someone already made a #delta #chat #server as an #OnionService over @torproject / #Tor just for the lulz.

  • The biggest Advantage for Delta Chat is that it doesn't require yet another server but instead just uses #IMAP + #SMTP and can even be integrated in #corporate communications that require #archival and #indexing by merely feeding the private keys to said #eMail archival software [i.e. #benno #MailArchiv], which makes it possible to comply with regulations like #GoBD & #HGB where applicable.

Not that this is something the average user encounters, but it is a big bonus for larger organizations!

I'm genuinely impressed with how many wrong things Scopus (Elsevier) can state about a journal...

scopus.com/sourceid/28442

This page appears to amalgamate information about 3 or more different journals into one mishmash

* The U.S. periodical 'Network' est. 1974 (ISSN-L: 0093-3341)
* The British journal 'Network' est. 1990 (ISSN-L: 0954-898X)
* The Swiss journal 'Network' est. 2021, published by MDPI (ISSN-L:
2673-8732)

Universities pay for Scopus? 😂

Does the African academy need its own citation index? by David Mills & Toluwase Asubiaro

"... journals published in the global peripheries, in small fields, or in languages other than English, struggle to get indexed. In 2023, if one excludes South Africa, only around 60 of the 30,000 plus journals indexed in Web of Science were published from Sub Saharan Africa."

(I will continue with solutions for retrieving quality information. But first, here is a status:)

If you use #Google #search, you only look into a catalogue, selected by a transnational company. The indexing pool has shifted further: Google shows new content only for a few hours… if the publisher authority is smallish.

"For these smaller players, it's not just about creating good content anymore – it's about convincing Google that your content is absolutely necessary for their index.

"Google has transformed from a comprehensive search engine into something more akin to an exclusive catalog.

"For users, it means that the information they're looking for might exist but remain undiscoverable through Google."
