Open Research Europe (ORE) enters its next phase as a collectively funded open access scholarly publishing platform: link.europa.eu/Y4DwbR Co-funded by organisations from 11 countries & the EU, it: - Secures long-term stability - Enables more researchers to publish without fees

OpenAlex (openalex.org) is rapidly closing the gap in funding metadata coverage. Re-using a dataset of NWO-funded papers we find they're now on par with Scopus and just slightly behind Dimensions. Full analysis with @hldejonge.bsky.social : 🔗 bmkramer.github.io/SesameOpenSc...

Open Science NL awarded 5 citizen science hubs, such as PRO BONO, each €400,000 to strengthen the dialogue between science, society and policy over 4 years. ‘Citizens can provide additional knowledge for science,’ says Sabine Wildevuur from PRO BONO. Read more: www.openscience.nl/en/pro-bono-...

Last week, the new phase for ORE was officially announced. The consortium backing the net platform is a unique collaboration between 16 funders and institutions, and @cern.bsky.social as the operating organization. I’m proud to say that the Dutch Research Council is a member. Read our news item:👇🏽
