Thrilled that the California Digital Library is partnering with Lyrasis and the Big Ten Academic Alliance's Center for Library Programs on a grant-funded project to advance #DiamondOA in the U.S.!

Be part of the conversation about how to #DefendResearch, support #OpenAccess, and protect #Education! Register for next week's SJSU OA Virtual Conference, where I'm very excited to share the keynoting privilege with @camitchell.bsky.social scholarworks.sjsu.edu/oa-un-confer...

Here is a word cloud of the words that were missing from the noncompetitive renewal awards but had been present in the parent award. 3/4

My ongoing request: If your NSF or NIH grant was terminated--whether at Harvard or elsewhere--please report it here. NSF: grant-watch.us/submit-nsf.h... NIH: grant-watch.us/submit-nih.h... Our trackers are actively used in lawsuits and are often the only record that terminations ever occurred.

I just emailed my state representatives to support Newsom's new budget for UC. If you agree that this economic and social engine for California needs robust state support, please join me. universityofcalifornia.quorum.us/campaign/sta...

A great campaign by @standupforscience.bsky.social and an excellent way to #StandUpforScience and to #DefendResearch! #SciSky #ScholComm #Academia #Libraries #Librarians

This sobering interview is on a similar theme to our recent post about the importance of #OpenAccess for academic freedom and resistance to censorship: blogs.openbookpublishers.com/defending-ac...

Researchers who have had grants terminated--tell your story! The #DefendResearch team is collecting testimonials about this impact of #censorship on research that we will use as part of a toolkit for contacting elected officials. #NSF, #NEH, #NIH www.defendresearch.org/testimonials

So honored to have the opportunity to talk with the Union of Concerned Scientists about U.S. government #censorship and how to #DefendResearch!! @ucsusa.bsky.social blog.ucs.org/pallavi-phar...

4,100+ individuals and organizations have #resisted by signing the Declaration to #DefendResearch Against U.S. Gov #Censorship? Add your name and make your voice heard! #NoTimeForSilence tinyurl.com/3bwuc38f #science #humanities #HSS #socialscience #sciencewriters #journalists #academics

The thing about scientific research is that it’s one of the few national investments that’s a clear public good even if you entirely discount the actual ostensible point of it.

Thank you @sciam.bsky.social for covering the #standupforscience2025 rallies & interviews w/folks like @rouhiroo.bsky.social describing #actions to take, like signing the Declaration to #DefendResearch from U.S. Gov't #censorship tinyurl.com/3bwuc38f www.scientificamerican.com/article/stan...

Good to see this Nature piece highlighting #resistance to the Trump assault on research, knowledge, & education: www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Thank you for this! I would urge all authors to submit their author's final version of all articles to their institutional repository, a subject repository, and or zenodo.org I've been an academic librarian in this space for a longtime, and am happy to help anyone--DM me!

We are experiencing an assault on science unparalleled by anything I’ve seen in my life. It’s not one issue or another anymore, the entire institution is under attack by the most powerful individuals in the country. This Friday, where will you be? standupforscience2025.org

A vital read

Excellent piece -- and a timely reminder of what is at stake here.

So much for getting offline this week. A small group of #scholcomsky #academicsky activists are coming together on a cross-community open call to condemnation/resistance/action. Join us. Funders, policy makers, publishers, institutions, libraries, researchers all have to fight together.

Reposting my repost for typos. This @lschiff.bsky.social-led effort to condemn and resist govt censorship of science. @petersuber.bsky.social @alicemeadows.bsky.social @camitchell.bsky.social are a couple drops but w/ you can get to tsunami.

A group of scholcomm activists, alarmed by the Trump administration’s directives curtailing academic freedom of speech & inquiry, will soon share a declaration against US gov censorship in research, calling for people/orgs in scholarly/adjacent communities to actively condemn & resist such actions.

Just released--a new resource helping authors from the University of California understand how to make their research articles freely available! #openaccess osc.universityofcalifornia.edu/2024/10/new-...
