I’m excited to share that I’m embarking on a new chapter: after 9 years working in open science nonprofits, including most recently at @asterainstitute.bsky.social , I’m transitioning to a new effort in the open education space - more on that soon!

Getting more science into the world means publishing beyond papers. There’s no one-size-fits-all answer, but there are options to help researchers transcend the structure of traditional papers. See my analysis on Human Readable: asterainstitute.substack.com/p/science-tr...

One of our @asterainstitute.bsky.social open science fellows is running a competition to identify interesting uses of the @metapages.bsky.social platform! open.substack.com/pub/dionwhit...

⏰ Deadline today!

Come and find out about 🪄Alchemy, ✨Cosmik, 🕸Fylo, 📑MetaPages, 🔬SciSci, and 📊Stencila, and help us make them more useful tools for science 🧪 !

Excellent post-mortem of peer-review.io - why is it so hard to disrupt peer review? 👥 social pressure to review ⚖️ need for moderation 🔑 reputational lock-in Would love to see more scholcomm experiments report learnings like this! theroadgoeson.com/crowdsourcing-… ht Subbiah Arunachalam

An amazing opportunity to shape the future (and present) of scientific communication. Advance discovery. Do right by science and scientists. Make a positive and tangible difference. ASAPbio is an incredibly effective and robust organization that is looking for a new leader. Apply today!

After 8+ incredible years at ASAPbio, I am beginning a new chapter as Open Science Program Director at Astera Institute later this month. So, we're looking for new leadership: please share the posting with people passionate about open science!

+ Flatland! Thanks for a fun conversation!

A browser extension that blocks journal names (on pubmed or the whole web) so researchers can focus on evaluating research itself without quality proxies Does it exist? Is anyone working on this?

You do not need private emails when leaders of the movement are publicly tweeting about the motivation behind their actions.

Just as not all preprint servers are suffixed w/ "Rxiv" not everything ending in "Rxiv" is a preprint server. Case in point - searchRxiv is a database for search strings! Interesting concept www.cabidigitallibrary.org/journal/sear...

We're trying a new experiment at #cellbio2023 this year. Join us!

Abel Packer closes #scielo25, saying the future is publish first, assess later with open peer review 🤩

Wonderful discussion at #scielo25 today! TLDR for my slides: Preprints… 🟰Promote equity by lowering barriers to dissemination 💬Enable new forms of dialog ⚖️Support reinventing assessment 🔓With reviews, are dynamic OA tinyurl.com/scielo25polka

Congress is trying to stop the Biden administration’s directive to make federally funded research articles free to read, and Mayank Chugh and I have ~opinions~

eLife's new model accelerates access to peer-reviewed research! Refereed preprints are made public in 79 days vs 170 days to publication w/old model. Via Fiona Hutton at the @asapbio.bsky.social community call @elife.bsky.social

Publishing industry reps have argued that the EU Council's proposed "no pay" publishing model is unrealistic. But there are already 4 functioning roads to making this vision a reality: 💎 Diamond OA journals 🪙 Publishing platforms 👁️ Preprints + peer review 🔓 Subscribe to open

Research should never be behind a paywall. But now there's a bill in the House that will restrict access to scientific work we pay for with our taxes.  Take action for #taxpayeraccess: https://sparcopen.org/our-work/oppose-section-552-that-will-block-taxpayer-access-to-research/
