It's HERE... World Digital Preservation Day 2025!! We are excited to kick off #WDPD2025 with our traditional opening blog from #DPC Executive Director William Kilbride, writing from the #iPRES2025 conference in Aotearoa New Zealand - one of the first places in […] [Original post on digipres.club]

Join us on 7 November at 14:00 UTC for our #OpenScience First Fridays webinar featuring Veronique Kiermer, Chief Scientific Officer of PLOS, discussing “Can we redefine publishing beyond the article and beyond the APC?” Register using the QR code below, or at globalyoungacademy.net/open-science...

Happy World Digital Preservation Day 2025! 🎉 The #WDPD2025 theme this year asks the question #WhyPreserve ❔ Join the conversation online & watch the Why Preserve? video from @dpc-chat.digipres.club.ap.brid.gy 📽️ 👉 www.dpconline.org/news/launch-...

The package formerly known as papercheck has changed its name to metacheck! We're checking more than just papers, with functions to assess OSF projects, github repos, and AsPredicted pre-registrations, with more being developed all the time. scienceverse.github.io/metacheck/

Can we improve peer review? We think we can! Check out an experiment I helped with as part of @solvingforsci.bsky.social 's mission to make science better. And if you don't want to read the whole bioRxiv manuscript, here's an overview of the main findings: solvingfor.org/news-posts-d...

Great post this week from @lisalibrarian.bsky.social that hopes to clear up some of the confusions around Creative Commons licenses and the use of such content for AI training. This speaks to the ongoing failure of the publishing and OA communities to make clear just what these licenses mean

We built the openESM database: ▶️60 openly available experience sampling datasets (16K+ participants, 740K+ obs.) in one place ▶️Harmonized (meta-)data, fully open-source software ▶️Filter & search all data, simply download via R/Python Find out more: 🌐 openesmdata.org 📝 doi.org/10.31234/osf...

Rob Chavez gives the helpful/correct answer below, but here's another thought: Your preprint gets to be your director's cut. Put that baby on OSF or Zenodo and add a link in your figure caption.

📣 Save the date for the 13th PCI webinar on December 1st, 2025, at 4 PM CET!! Simine Vazire (University of Melbourne, Australia) will present "Recognizing and responding to a replication crisis: Lessons from Psychology". For more details and registration, visit: buff.ly/wZNoD2v

Check out the last myth of our myth-busting series created by the amazing ASAPbio Resident Xiuqi "Jade" Li! ❌ Myth 4: Posting a preprint online means I don’t need to think about copyright or licensing ✅ Truth: Copyright is automatic, and licensing is an active choice. buff.ly/lJZ1K3m

What if research infrastructures were open by design — built for transparency, collaboration & inclusion from day one? IOI's Katherine Skinner , Laurel Haak, and @kristenratan.bsky.social explore how to engineer openness into research systems. investinopen.org/blog/enginee...

A year ago, @tandfresearch.bsky.social teamed up with DataSeer to investigate #OpenScience behavior across their portfolio. Now results are in — and they’re higher than expected. Read the full report ▶️ insights.taylorandfrancis.com/research-imp... #scisky #scholcomm #scholcomms #openaccess

For Maris Vainre & coauthors, sharing their preprint led to coverage in New Scientist, 1,800+ downloads, & invites to discuss their work. Their study explores whether people in certain professions are more or less satisfied with their jobs & lives. Read more in our Q&A! 🏢

Finding it confusing licensing your work? @asapbio.bsky.social have created an FAQ covering the basics and commercial uses, supporting you to make an informed choice. #OpenAccess #OpenScience #PhDsky

The John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation has generously awarded us funding to secure our own storage. This critical processing space will be instrumental in ensuring that large datasets can be temporarily stored, curated, and described. Thank you, MacArthur Foundation, for your support!

How are national systems for assessing publicly funded research evolving? That's the question our latest article poses. Reviewers consider the work "valuable and timely", noting its relevance to reform initiatives like @coarassessment.bsky.social 👇 Read the assessment, reviews & full article here

Interesting thought: "Instead, when the journal requires ‘honest signals’ of research integrity — time-consuming actions like sharing data and code, including RRIDs for reagents, or using ORCIDs — then helping authors to comply with these prior to initial submission accomplishes several good things"

#SSHRC, CIHR and Michael Smith Health Research BC have awarded more than 2.7 million in funding through the Research-on-Research Joint Initiative. 14 teams will be researching meta-research - the study of how research itself is funded, practiced, and shared. sshrc-crsh.canada.ca/en/news/2025...

Are you interested in thinking about which studies are worth replicating? Then you have 10 articles to dig into in Meta-Psychology, representing a very wide range of viewpoint on this topic, out now: open.lnu.se/index.php/me...

If you're looking for examples of how to organize a data sharing repository, what documentation to include, how to name files, or how to organize data files, the FIDO (fictitious intervention for demonstration only) project on OSF provides some examples. osf.io/59gte/overview

🌍 The Atlas of Assessment maps national research evaluation systems worldwide: researchonresearch.org/atlas/ Curated by RoRI with input from policymakers & funders in 13 countries, it helps researchers and leaders explore trends, compare systems, and see how different nations assess research.

An example of how preprints allow researchers to have an official time stamp of making their research publicly available, and establish priority of the discovery.

⚙️ OSF Update This week, we’re continuing work to improve speed & reliability: -First round of performance instrumentation is complete, with another planned soon -Fix for preprint page load times is being deployed to address slowdowns -General optimization update to improve performance across OSF

As we round out #OAweek, we’re reflecting on how open access moves us forward—but when it’s linked to open plans, methods, data, code, and review, its benefits multiply. 🔗 Read more: www.cos.io/blog/lifecyc...

For #OAweek, we’re connecting OA to the research lifecycle—from planning & preregistration through data sharing & publication. In our post, we show how TOP is a map for thinking holistically about open science and increasing the verifiability of empirical research claims. www.cos.io/blog/open-ac...

I’ve just preregistered my research on automatic indexing on the OSF (@cos.io, under embargo). The interface is clear, and the process was easy to follow. I hope to see more LIS studies preregistered in the future. osf.io #LIS #KO #OpenScience #Preregistration

The problem has been resolved and we are moderating again. Thanks, @cos.io!

There is considerable discussion about the (lack of) openness of metadata of journal articles, but how do preprint servers perform in terms of openly available metadata? @neesjanvaneck.bsky.social and I report our findings in a new @leidenmadtrics.bsky.social blog post doi.org/10.59350/te7....
