Today, I presented retractbase.csic.es, our open database about retractions, in Bristol STI-ENID Conference. @stienid2025.bsky.social with a very good reception

🚀 Exciting news for the #OpenScience community! 🎉 The COSMI Hub, part of the #OPENIT Project, is live! Explore a community-driven platform mapping OS initiatives worldwide. Discover, classify, and compare initiatives promoting openness. 💡 Check it out: amcm.shinyapps.io/openit/previ... #STIENID25

👇 MetaROR is very proud and excited to announce this new partnership with @plosbiology.org 🙏 As part of this, "PLOS Biology will formally consider meta-research articles that are peer-reviewed on the MetaROR platform", in order to "improve transparency" and "[prevent] futile cycles of peer review".

[Petit thread] article sur la confiance dans la science à travers le monde 🌎 🥼🔬🔭 Je n’avais pas vu passer cette publication de début d’année du TISP Many Labs project  qui est ma foi forte bien faite www.nature.com/articles/s41... 1/N

Metascience 2025 recordings are now available! #Metascience25 gathered researchers, funders, policymakers & more to explore how the research process can improve. The program included preconference symposia & plenary sessions on topics from policy change to AI in research. 🎥 cassyni.com/s/metasc...

74.4% of the 21,886 WoS-indexed journals involve commercial professional publishers, 29% societies, and 27.8% research organisations as sole/co-publishers. Our paper co-authored with @zehrataskin.bsky.social, Emanuel Kulczycki & @mikaellaakso.bsky.social - now on QSS website: doi.org/10.1162/qss....

A new view of the state of the scholarly publishing oligopoly: doi.org/10.1371/jour... Considering journals and papers published, big publishers have been losing ground, as many independent journals have been created, especially since 2000. With @juancommander.scholcommlab.ca @lariviev.bsky.social

📢 New publication out! 🇨🇳 China’s Open Science strategy relies heavily on supply-side tools (63%)—infra, education, public services—while incentives & mandates remain marginal. 🔗 www.mdpi.com/2304-6775/13... #OpenScience #China #SciPolicy
