ERC 2026 Grants: Applications are open! Relevant information attached. ERC values the full spectrum of your research—make every output count. Research Agora helps you showcase diverse contributions for a stronger application. Questions? Contact us.

Research Agora is now officially recognized as 'Empresa emergente' (startup) by @enisa-es.bsky.social , Spain’s national innovation agency! This is a seal of trust in our mission to drive innovation in open science, transparency, and reproducibility. Join the future of #OpenScience!

How do reward systems shape scientists? Ioannidis says incentives create Diligent, Sloppy, or Fraudulent researchers. Counting papers rewards the wrong behaviors. We must value quality, integrity, and reproducibility. Watch his talk: buff.ly/F3NOMF7 #ResearchCulture #OpenScience

Why are we still using Stone Age assessment practices? RRA should be implemented at every stage. See the 4 key moments in the image below. Has your institution started this shift? #ResearchAssessment #OpenScience

“There’s no cost to getting things wrong. The cost is not getting them published.” — @briannosek.bsky.social‬ Funders and institutions now value quality, openness, and all research outputs. At Research Agora, we make them visible. Join us: researchagora.com

Implementing responsible research assessment is not a one-size-fits-all process. The DORA guide recommends nine key activities that organizations can adapt to their unique context—see them in our carousel.

Why does reproducibility matter? Matt Anticole’s video explained the reproducibility crisis and remaining challenges eight years ago (buff.ly/2DkbSBE). Many of them are still unsolved. Join us at researchagora.com to help strengthen science for everyone. #Reproducibility #OpenScience #ResearchWaste

What does Responsible Research Assessment (RRA) mean? It’s about moving beyond publication counts to reward quality, diversity, and real impact. RRA values all contributions—mentoring, collaboration, societal impact—and promotes fair recognition for every researcher. #ResearchAssessment #DORA

“If you torture data long enough, it will confess to anything.” — R. Coase. Negative results matter. Share all outcomes—positive or negative—as Marbles at researchagora.com. Let’s reward transparency and honesty.

Research assessment is changing! RRA values teamwork, open data, mentoring, and impact for a fairer science. More on the newest practical guide from @dorassessment.bsky.social‬ - buff.ly/9exXsPz

What do you do with research leftovers? In Spain, croquetas reuse yesterday’s stew. At Research Agora, our Marbles are bite-sized, peer-reviewed insights—turning unused data into knowledge everyone can use. Learn more: buff.ly/tDNy2EH #OpenScience #Marbles #ResearchAgora

2026 ERC calls coming early July! Bigger budgets, new super grants, & double start-up funding (up to €2M). Easier rules, less bureaucracy, & EU commitment to open science. As von der Leyen said, "Europe chooses science." Stay tuned & follow for updates!

The call for research reform is clear. But do institutions have the tools to act? We help research institutions comply with assessment reforms by: ✔ Recognizing contributions beyond articles ✔ Encouraging reproducibility & transparency ✔ Supporting collaborative & Open Science

Let’s make peer review work for research! Traditional peer review is: 🔸 Opaque 🔸 Uncredited 🔸 Unrewarded 🔸 Slow ✨ Peer review at Research Agora: ✅ Transparent yet anonymous ✅ Recognized ✅ Earn tokens for free submissions ✅ Fast 💬 How would you like peer review to be? buff.ly/uyy43M6

Why call a research output "Marble"? 🔍 Transparency: clear like glass. 🪨 Strength: solid like stone. 🧠 Curiosity: evolving, like carving in marble. ✨ Discovery: revisiting research is a "marvel" itself. Together, Marbles form a collaborative Mosaic of scientific progress.

What if all research counted—not just "high-impact" results? Introducing Marbles: short, structured research outputs for replications, negative results, alternative methods & more. Fast, peer-reviewed, open-access. Each Marble contributes to the bigger mosaic of science. 🔗researchagora.com/marble
