This blog post (https://doi.org/10.54900/d3ck1-skq19) challenges current practices of selective databases such as Scopus and Web of Science and argues that these practices inhibit innovation in scholarly communication.
The authors are associated with several reform initiatives in scholarly communication and research assessment, incl. the Barcelona Declaration (but the piece does not necessarily reflect the formal positions of these reform initiatives).

[#]LSE post about #GoogleScholar https://blogs.lse.ac.uk/impactofsocialsciences/2024/10/22/google-scholar-is-not-broken-yet-but-there-are-alternatives/:
"the recent Barcelona Declaration applies principles of openness to information about research, with signatories committing to 'work with services and systems that support and enable open research information.' Google Scholar cannot meaningfully be said to do so given opacity of processes for inclusion and ranking of research outputs. Closed proprietary systems run by ... Elsevier and Clarivate clearly don't meet this criterion either."

The journal Scientometrics organizes special issue on open research information https://link.springer.com/collections/bihhfjccig.
"Open research information, its technical infrastructures and social architectures ... constitute bedrock of open science. It acts as shared resources, slicing across disciplinary and geographic boundaries, benefiting stakeholders and constituents in scientific ecosystem. ORI forms critical pillar of open science movement and transformation, especially in light of the Barcelona Declaration"

Valuable reflection by Hanna Shmagun and @CharlesO on the Barcelona Declaration: "the Declaration does not specifically mention patents within its definition of research information. We emphasise the importance of raising awareness about access to patent information, which is significantly locked inside expensive proprietary databases."

Glad to see this piece presenting ten rules for recognizing data and software contributions in hiring, promotion, and tenure https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pcbi.1012296.
We like in particular rule 9: "guidelines ... should include consistent information on what tools or services are encouraged to document measures of impact of data and software contributions ... in alignment with ... @BarcelonaDORI we recommend using existing open infrastructure that enables transparent access to underlying metadata"
