🎉Happy New Year, from Stratos! Let's make 2026 a year full of convergence, collaborative action, and #OpenAccess advancement! strategiesos.org/heres-to-str...

Change can feel slow while it’s happening, but the contemporary landscape looks very different from even a few years ago. bit.ly/4oSkv09 #openaccess #openresearch #openscience

As 2025 draws to a close, we pause to reflect, and consider what's ahead for Open Science in the new year. #openaccess #openscience #openresearch bit.ly/455FeGu

Open Science is a toolkit for cultivating excellence in research. It does that by restoring research to its roots: #OpenScience means conducting research according to its own best-practice standards strategiesos.org/about/ #openaccess #openresearch

How do we improve scholarly communications? Here are two simple strategies: remove incentives to delay communication and normalize communicating science in existing forms and formats. Read more ➡️ strategiesos.org #openscience #openaccess #scholcomms #scholcomm

The outdated norms of scholarly communications are stifling scientific discovery. Together, we can change that. strategiesos.org #scholcomm #scholcomms #opendata #openaccess #researchintegrity #openscience

We'll be there! Looking forward to discussing strategies for incentivizing openness and honoring all contributions to scholarly research! See you next month... #openscience #openaccess

@chashub.bsky.social conference kicks off today! Be sure to say hello to Jennifer Kemp, Stratos' Director of Consulting Services. #chsconf2025 #charleston #CharlestonConference #AcademicPublishing #ScholarlyCommunications #scholcomm

New podcast alert! 🎧 Hear @kristenratan.bsky.social on the Enago Academy podcast talking research collaboration, sustainable infrastructure, and the future of #scholcomm bit.ly/432pnaQ #openaccess #openscience #scisky #openresearch #oaweek #openaccessweek

Stratos leverages the tools of #OpenScience to achieve research excellence. We develop broad-based, impactful solutions to address the most pressing issues in scholarship using data and analysis, strategy, metrics, people, and technology. #scholcomm #scholcomms #openaccess #scisky

Navigating the ever-growing number of #OpenResearch projects is tough. It's easy for projects to fly under the radar. Good news! We just launched ICOR's Open Research Beacon (ORB)- the searchable, central hub for the global open research movement! 1/2

NEW POST: NIH explores capping APCs: Let’s look at the evidence! We used data of NIH funded from 2025, and found that APCs for a few as 7% journals (or 6% of papers) would be fully covered by a $2K cap, 25% of journals (or 21% of papers) by a $3K cap. Read more! www.scholcommlab.ca/2025/09/03/n...

Should the NIH continue to pay APCs? Not if the goal is to build a more efficient, rapid, innovative, and transparent scholarly communication ecosystem. strategiesos.org/should-the-n... #scholcomm #NIH #openscience #openaccess #scisky @icoropen.bsky.social

📢 Our new report 'Publishing futures: Working together to deliver radical change in academic publishing' calls for urgent, coordinated action to make academic publishing more open, equitable, and sustainable. 🎥 Learn more in our short video: https://cup.org/4qemvBy

What does Stratos do? We develop concrete solutions tailored to specific #scholarlycomms goals. We work with our partners to investigate needs, map out strategic plans, and execute them. Learn more ▶️ strategiesos.org/work/ #openscience #openaccess #scholcomm #researchexcellence

Openness means excellence. #OpenScience demonstrates integrity, supports reproducibility and reuse, accelerates progress, and increases research quality and impact. Restricting research communication holds science back. strategiesos.org

Stratos is a results-oriented consultancy working with partners including funders, institutions to achieve research excellence and maximize the impact of science. We believe #OpenScience can help us get there. #scholcomm #openaccess #scisky strategiesos.org

"There’s an urgent need for us as a community to grapple with how our human infrastructure should be supported, especially in the context of AI," said Jennifer Kemp, director of consulting services at Stratos. Read more on our blog: bit.ly/46Esqbe #openscience #openaccess #scholcomm #scisky

Meet Stratos Director of Consulting @saysjkemp.bsky.social: Jennifer began her career as a scholarly librarian in the earlier days of #openaccess. Today, in her work with Stratos she focuses on policy, collaborations, program evaluation and stakeholder engagement. bit.ly/46Esqbe

Together, we can leverage the tools of open science to shape a new approach to the communication of research backed by a reward system that corresponds to the values of science and society. #openscience #openaccess #scisky #scholcomm strategiesos.org/creating-con...

Researchers, funders, institutions and other stakeholders have the power to reshape #scholcomms to drive more impactful, rapid, reproducible, and cost-effective science. But only if we work together. #scisky #openaccess #openscience #scholcomm strategiesos.org/creating-con...

Public trust in science increases when underlying data are shared. But often, data availability requests go nowhere. How can we create the kind of high-quality, discoverable, metadata rich data lakes we need to enable reuse and spur discovery? strategiesos.org/systematic-p... #opendata

Scholarly communication doesn’t work well enough for enough stakeholders. But why is that, exactly? What are the root causes? How do these point to solutions? strategiesos.org/systematic-p... #scisky #scholcomm #openaccess #openscience #scholarlyjournals

Whether subscription or APC-funded, we all know high impact journals can be expensive. But the true cost of incentivizing publication in these elite venues is more than simply monetary. It impacts how research is conducted. #scholcomm #openscience #openaccess #scisky bit.ly/4nGW1HE

This joint blog with collaborator @alleninstitute.org outlines the Parkinson’s data now included in the ABC Atlas and how it expands the future of neurodegenerative disease research. 🔗 Take a look: parkinsonsroadmap.org/news/collabo...

Why do we still follow print conventions in #scholcomms — even when we know they aren't working for us? strategiesos.org/research-com...

My Scholarly Kitchen post today: scholarlykitchen.sspnet.org/2025/07/14/p...

Did you know: “Shopping” research articles from journal to journal can take months and forces researchers to spend hours completing similar submission forms and making cosmetic changes. bit.ly/4nGW1HE #scholcomm #scientificpublishing #academicsky #openscience #openresearch

Like the parable of the elephant in the dark, those of us working #scholcomms point to different issues depending on our role and what parts of the system we touch. What happens if we turn on lights and examine the complete picture? strategiesos.org/systematic-p... #openscience #openresearch

We’ve arrived here, and just in time for #Metascience2025. For those who don’t know us, our goals are to collect data on the impact of open research policies and practices and connect open research to improved collaboration and outcomes. Say hi to @mmmarksman.bsky.social in London to find out more!

Want to help shape the future of #scholcomm? Consider getting involved with the ICOR working group. ICOR invites feedback and comments from the community, including researchers, institutions, funders, publishers, and service providers. 🧵 #OpenScience #OpenResearch #OpenAccess #ResearchIntegrity

What should modern research communications look like? That's a question #ICOR has been exploring in a series of workshops and meetings. Read a summary and get involved: 📖 strategiesos.org/icor-promote... #openaccess #scisky #openscience #scholcomm #academicsky

At the @nisoinfo.bsky.social conference this Spring, @kristenratan.bsky.social & Jennifer Heimberg of the National Academy of Sciences presented a vision for a faster, more holistic form of research communication. Read a summary on the @dataseerai.bsky.social blog

There’s been an increase in concerns about research integrity in the past few years. Is science getting worse, or are long-standing issues simply more visible due to the increased transparency that comes with #OpenScience?

👀Recording and more from last ICOR meeting: stage setting by HHMI scientists @gallseeker.bsky.social & @jvoigts.bsky.social, my discussion of our workshop and output (leave comments!), @verokiermer.bsky.social on PLoS's new plans, and ISC's Geoffrey Boulton. 🚀 incentivizingopen.org/2025/03/new-...

Hello Bluesky, we're excited to be here! Lets talk about accelerating scientific discovery, increasing efficiency, building trust in research, and the future of scholarly communications. #scholcomms #scicomm #scisky #openscience #openresearch #researchintegrity #opendata
