"Grassroots networks can help implement and harmonize open research efforts", by @agataboch.bsky.social, @tkalan.bsky.social, @maxkorbmacher.bsky.social, Lewend Mayiwar, @julienmayor.bsky.social & @dsquintana.bsky.social - doi.org/10.7557/11.8....

Two fresh papers for your holiday reading! @jonnikarlsson.bsky.social & Elena Svahn give us "Insights into participatory policymaking" in the making of the Finnish #citizenscience policy. And @agataboch.bsky.social & her co-authors tell about the important work being done in @norrepro.bsky.social.

There seems to be a decrease in the coverage of affiliation metadata in #OpenAlex, particularly with regard to journal articles published by Elsevier since 2024. Only around 6% of Elsevier articles published in 2025 have affiliation metadata. subugoe.github.io/scholcomm_an...

Indigenous rights in research (publishing) pondered by Trond Trosterud & Linda Wiechetek - how to implement #CARE and #FAIR for real? Serious questions, these ones. #Munin2025 www.gida-global.org/care

“CARE & FAIR: Opposing or Aligning Concerns?“, Else Grete Broderstad continues on pondering research ethics, from Sámi perspective. One has to consider carefully, how to implement FAIR but also CARE esp. when dealing with indigenous cultures. #Munin2025 #ResearchEthics #VulnerableCommunities

Live now at #Munin2025! 🔵🌿 Our panel Indigenous Rights in Research is underway, led by Torjer A. Olsen with Sheryl Lightfoot, Susanna Siri & Else Grete Broderstad. Exploring FAIR + CARE for a more just research future. ✨ 🔗 Abstract: doi.org/10.7557/5.8332 #OpenScience #IndigenousRights

Final panel of the day 2 #Munin2025: Indigenous Rights in Research: Future Needs for Involvement of Indigenous Perspectives. Also libraries need to know abt these as we deal with #metadata, #repositories, #InformationSystems, #Thesauri, #ClassificationSchemes and such, every day. And they matter.

So good to be back in Tromsø for #Munin2025 Always a diverse and inspiring occasion, and this is no exception. Fantastic keynote this morning from @tweissgerber.bsky.social on Open Methods, talking to us about this we all know from very fresh perspectives. Lots to digest from other sessions.

Next on stage Milda Baltrimienė podering abt #multilingualism in research. #HelsinkiInitiative is one fine initiative, but it has some cons, too. Ahoy @jpolonen.bsky.social Milda's abstract: doi.org/10.7557/5.8164

Looking forward to this presentation tomorrow at #Munin2025, here in lovely Tromsø ❄️. Will be including some examples from our interviews with librarians in Finland and Sweden in particular, drawing on our recently published report: zenodo.org/records/1733...
