Where Did the Open Access Movement Go Wrong?: An Interview with Richard Poynder scholarlykitchen.sspnet.org/2023/12/07/w...

A fun (“fun”) new thing we need to address is the time wasted correcting the errors of people who arrive at a conversation having only read the AI summary of a document.

Yesterday with the META/e group at Eindhoven we discussed the draft of the new Dutch Code for Research Integrity: www.nwo-i.nl/en/news/2025... It is great to see how much transparency and FAIR data and code will become the default expectation to adhere to research integrity.

📢Join us at the next 4TU.ResearchData Roadshow event taking place at @tue.nl! This session will explore the role of reproducibility in #research and how we support researchers in making their work transparent. You'll also learn about CODECHECK! Register below to join! shorturl.at/zQh1j

Gisteravond bij café Kockelmann bleek opnieuw: Het CDA kiest voor rechts. Niks nieuws onder de zon. Nog meer rechts kluitjesvoetbal lost niks op. GroenLinks-PvdA is het enige alternatief.

I'm a proud Luddite when it comes to genAI.

It can be so frustrating to read STS research. Here are Bartscherer and Reinhart osf.io/rbyt6_v1/ Look at their flawed logic: Replication is *used as a career strategy*. The evidence? People were not known for earlier research. The clear confound? ECR’s drove the replication movement! 1/x

“This article shows how interlibrary loan, conceived as a form of academic traffic, played a crucial role in postwar reconstruction efforts, facilitating the xchg of resources + info among libraries… [It] focuses on the elaborate procedures librarians developed to create union catalogs.”

Kunnen we in plaats van de onuitvoerbaarheid van de eisen van Wilders vooral de verwerpelijkheid ervan benadrukken? Wat hij wil wordt niet minder verwerpelijk als het wel uit te voeren is. Juridische kaders horen niet de enige/belangrijkste hobbels te zijn. Ogen op de bal houden.

Op 18 mei 2021 is de Italiaanse zanger en componist Franco Battiato overleden. Hij werd 76 jaar. In 1984 nam Franco samen met Alice namens Italië deel aan het Eurovisie songfestival. Met ‘I treni di Tozeur’ werden ze vijfde. #FrancoBattiato #Alice #ESF #ESC

New, from me: The DOGE project was sold as tech disruptors who would revolutionize government. To try to understand why DOGE has failed, I point to lessons that other technologists who worked in government learned, but DOGE ignored. 🧵 donmoynihan.substack.com/p/what-doge-...

One should not feel offended when asked about data and analysis details. Better: put everything up timely so you will not be asked.

“It is a baby held up by its mother, thinking it can stand on its own two feet.” Absolutely brilliant metaphor for the relationship of the market to the state. 👏

Studenten aan de UvA doen in samenwerking met heel veel vrijwilligers onderzoek naar de manier waarop journalisten over verkeersongevallen schrijven. Onder meer over welke woorden ze gebruiken voor slachtoffers en daders en hoe koppen worden samengesteld. (1/2)

Five years ago, in Corona time, I went to the ASR exposition and witnessed the relics of war time in insurance/banking. It was a sobering experience leading me to write up about lessons that were perhaps never really learnt... financieelerfgoed.wordpress.com/2020/05/02/c... #80Years #HumanRights

It's bonkers that in academic science we spend hours obsessing over the wording of a paper, but often only one person has seen the code that produced the results! 2/N

Sorry to be that guy – or happy to share, in case you like it :) – but *these* weird dots are actually a diaeresis, and it indicates a vowel hiatus rather than a forward sound shift.
