Open Access Aggregators with RSS

Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ) is mentioned as a major database containing over 12,500 peer-reviewed open access journals[1]. While not explicitly stated in the search results, DOAJ is a primary aggregator for open access content.

PubMed Central (PMC) hosts both fully open access articles and articles from hybrid journals[1]. The search results indicate that you can set up RSS feeds for PubMed searches[4], which would include open access content available through PMC.

Academic RSS Solutions

Comprehensive Journal RSS Collections are available through repositories like the GitHub project "science-journal-feeds," which contains over 4,700 RSS feeds from academic and scientific journals[6]. This collection includes feeds from major publishers like Springer, Elsevier, Nature Publishing Group, PLOS, and others[6].

General Academic Search Platforms offer RSS capabilities:

  • Google Scholar can be used to set up alerts for specific keywords or authors[7]
  • Feedly is recommended as an RSS reader that can aggregate multiple academic sources[2][5]
  • Inoreader offers advanced features for academic users, including permanent archiving and search capabilities within RSS feeds[5]

Specialized Tools

Institutional Solutions like Browzine use institutional credentials to subscribe users to journals and send notifications for new papers and issues[7]. This tool integrates with reference managers like Zotero and Mendeley.

arXiv provides both an API and RSS feeds for preprint content, which represents a significant portion of open access research in certain fields[4].

Limitations

The search results reveal some challenges with academic RSS feeds:

  • Some publishers have discontinued RSS feeds (Cambridge University Press is specifically mentioned)[6]
  • RSS feeds from certain databases like ScienceDirect can be "malformed" and send daily spam[4]
  • EBSCOhost RSS feeds expire annually[4]

Alternative Approaches

For tracking open access research specifically, you might consider:

  • Setting up custom searches in open access repositories with email alerts
  • Using social media platforms like Twitter, where "major and mid-range journals have their own twitter account"[7]
  • Utilizing reference managers like Mendeley that recommend new articles based on your existing database[7]

While there isn't a single comprehensive open access research aggregator with RSS, combining multiple sources through an RSS reader like Feedly or Inoreader can provide effective coverage of open access literature across various platforms and repositories.

I'm unable to visit a community using the sidebar suggested method of searching for "!community@instance" convention.

Is this normal?

Kagi is a commercial search engine with some pretty awesome features. This one helps Lemmy users.

Gosar is a despicable, bigoted, right-wing, GOP fascist, spewing hate-filled rhetoric that reeks of ignorance and intolerance. His narrow-minded, racist views are a blight on humanity, and he should be ashamed of himself for spreading such vitriolic nonsense. He's nothing but a puppet of the white supremacist agenda, and his hatred for anyone who doesn't fit your twisted worldview knows no bounds.

Ya cunt.

I always had faith in the audience that they would realize that this was a fictitious country and the mere purpose of it was to allow people to bring out their own prejudices … I think the joke is on people who can believe that the Kazakhstan that I describe can exist. Borat essentially works as a tool. By himself being anti-Semitic, he lets people lower their guard and expose their own prejudice, whether it’s anti-Semitism or an acceptance of anti-Semitism. I remember, when I was in university I studied history, and there was this one major historian of the Third Reich, Ian Kershaw. And his quote was, “The path to Auschwitz was paved with indifference.” I know it’s not very funny being a comedian talking about the Holocaust, but I think it’s an interesting idea that not everyone in Germany had to be a raving anti-Semite. They just had to be apathetic.
