We've improved @oa_bison@openbiblio.social - the open-access journal recommender! Based on last year's research, we've updated our recommendation method:
- Switched from a custom BiLSTM to Qwen3-Embeddings
- Changed the Elasticsearch scoring
=> the recommendations should be more accurate and less biased by journal size

Under the hood, we've also updated Debian, PostgreSQL and Python dependencies.
