Elsevier has combined and improved upon its CiteAlert and Article Usage Report tools with the creation of My Research Dashboard. Any author who has published at least one article in a journal published by Elsevier can register for a free and personalized dashboard. The data feeding the dashboard comes from Scopus, ScienceDirect, Mendeley, and Newsflo. Elsevier acquired Newsflo, a media monitoring service, in January 2015. Newsflo shows authors where their research is being talked about in the media.” My Research Dashboard shows download activity, shares, citations, demographic data about who is reading your research, and how and where your publications are being discovered. https://www.elsevier.com/books-and-journals/societies/societies-update/issue-4/an-impactful-

Editor's Notes
- My Research Dashboard is a proof point of the value Elsevier creates by bringing together our unique strengths in content, technology and researcher networks.
- SDGs – statement of aspirations – a voluntary agreement with no legally binding obligations signing member states Long term visions that is often lacking in national planning and policy driven by short term political gain Goals supposed to be for all nations, not just developing countries, but often it is often vague as to who the instructions are directed? Who is supposed to be responsible for taking the actions? Who are supposed to be the acting agents? Should not simply appeal to government and powerful agents for greater efforts, but should call for structural reforms of the global institutional order that conditions the options and incentive of these agents. --- Jean Claude Guedon re the institutions that priviledge knowledge of the Global North The need to include strong human rights language – Lyon Declaration importance of the access to information as a human rights Indicators? Incentives?
- The Zapatistas years ago talked about a world in which many worlds fit, an antidote to the idea of a single civilized world built along hegemonic patriarchal Western capitalist lines. the Pluriverse has no beginning or end but only constant ebbs and flows. This is the natural way. Human intervention that obstructs or destroys this self-organizing dynamic is the source of much suffering and instability. The concept of the Pluriverse pushes us to think in terms of many possible worlds as well as the circularity of life, a perpetual flow and “radical interdependency” of all living things. The patriarchal capitalist world is built on domination; historically, its modus operandi precludes other forms of human organization. Should capitalism have the right to exist within the Pluriverse? In theory, yes, but only if it is constrained to become one among many coexisting systems. It must acknowledge the destruction it has foisted upon the planet and people. Of course, if it does, then it will cease to be capitalism as we know it.
