NEW POST: NIH explores capping APCs: Let’s look at the evidence! We used data of NIH funded from 2025, and found that APCs for a few as 7% journals (or 6% of papers) would be fully covered by a $2K cap, 25% of journals (or 21% of papers) by a $3K cap. Read more! www.scholcommlab.ca/2025/09/03/n...

🚀 New study out! Together with @volkswagenstiftung.de, we’ve tested distributed peer review - a model where applicants also act as reviewers - to see how it compares with conventional panel review: researchonresearch.org/democratisin...

Excellent work to show alignment with funder preprint policies! Keeping the work going in the #openscience and #openoutput space. #preprints #funderpolicies

Great to see our workshop report on the future of scientific publishing mentioned in @scholarlykitchen.bsky.social. We couldn't invite everyone, but this got the conversation going, we'd love to get feedback from all stakeholders and incorporate more diverse voices: docs.google.com/document/d/1...

My comment about open research and qualitative methods is out! I argue that open research needs to take seriously the notion that "rigour" looks different for different methods and can learn from qualitative traditions. It feels very apt to be at #QMIP2025 for this publication day rdcu.be/evEpk

Like the parable of the elephant in the dark, those of us working #scholcomms point to different issues depending on our role and what parts of the system we touch. What happens if we turn on lights and examine the complete picture? strategiesos.org/systematic-p... #openscience #openresearch

We’ve arrived here, and just in time for #Metascience2025. For those who don’t know us, our goals are to collect data on the impact of open research policies and practices and connect open research to improved collaboration and outcomes. Say hi to @mmmarksman.bsky.social in London to find out more!
