Great thoughful blog post from @jeroenbosman and @Jeroenson on @upstream: The resilience of open science in times of crisis. https://doi.org/10.54900/pqrcx-8d019 They abstract different types of threats and different aspects of resilience - linking both […] [Original post on akademienl.social]

The Open Source Lab (OSL) at Oregon State University (OSU) hosts over 500 #OpenSource projects and is globally important. It faces a funding crisis that will see it shut down later this year if it can't secure $250k from sponsors. If your company depends on open source software, you probably […]

Not sure what to make of the change in implementation date (Dec → July 2025) of the NIH Public Access policy. https://www.nih.gov/about-nih/who-we-are/nih-director/statements/accelerating-access-research-results-new-implementation-date-2024-nih-public-access-policy At face value, it signals […]

Update. I just did an interview for the Leibniz Information Centre for Economics (#zbw, @ZBW_MediaTalk) on the impact of #Trump administration actions on US research and higher education. Thanks to @avatter for the good questions […]

Do you want to work with us in the @tibosl of the @tibhannover? We are searching for an "Open Source Developer for Digital Scientific Infrastructures (m/f/d)" #java #opensource #openresearchinformation #rdf #knowledgegraph #semanticweb #linkeddata More information […]

Great to see Pangaea / Helmholtz @helmholtz involved in this - and simultaneouly intrigued on the details, esp. where it says 'formally working with [NOAA]"? https://doi.org/10.1038/d41586-025-01309-3 Also good to see the update re: public data.

In thinking about alternatives for #pubmed (coverage and functionalities) I wondered how many PubMed records of recent years don't have a DOI. Numbers for (journal) articles, reviews, preprints and retractions from 2022-2024, from OpenAlex (pub and source types are OpenAlex' classification)

🔍 Tracking transformative agreements and its individual articles is harder than it should be. We developed a method combining #openmetadata from @OpenAlex & @cOAlitionS_OA Journal Checker Tool data, published as preprint on @MetaArXiv w/ @HLdeJonge and @MsPhelps#openmetadata[…]

New preprint: we develop and tested an open method to track transformative #OpenAccess agreements using @OpenAlex and @cOAlitionS_OA Journal Checker Tool data. Testing with Dutch Research Council NWO publications showed 89% accuracy 🎯 w/ @HLdeJonge @Jeroenson#openaccess[…]

Between this and “AI” slop, a reminder for folks with spoons left to maybe bring some of their expertise to Wikipedia. https://www.404media.co/wikipedia-prepares-for-increase-in-threats-to-us-editors-from-musk-and-his-allies/

Excited to announce I've been appointed Executive Director of the Barcelona Declaration @BarcelonaDORI , (alongside my other consulting activities). We have funding for the next 3 years and will soon discuss the creation of a governance board […]

And there we go 😡 : NASA removing all mention of 'inclusive' from their "Open Science 101' course, rewriting what open science is in the process. (the course seems taken down from the website completely at the moment) […]
