"#IRRP implementation in practice: an #OpenResearchScotland collaboration" published in the inaugural issue of the #DiamondOA Scottish Journal of Open Research (#SJOR) at doi.org/10.36399/6sv... #rightsretention #OA100 @sparc-eu.bsky.social

remarkable speed for release of results for optical #spectroscopy of just-discovered interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS on #arXiv, arxiv.org/abs/2507.05226 (preprint's corr auth at @edinburgh-uni.bsky.social Royal Observatory) #VLT #Paranal #Atacama @eso.org @astroroyalscot.bsky.social

Exciting to see #grantIDs gradually seeping into funding acknowledgements at #OpenResearchEurope -- in this case for the Portuguese #FCT via its #SciPROJ portal, doi.org/10.54499/202... (Horizon Europe INCITE-DEM project *also* has a grantID, doi.org/10.3030/1010..., but this one doesn't feature)

Good to have had the chance to discuss publisher pushback against #rightsretention at the 50th meeting of the R&P Deals Scotland WG earlier today openresearchscotland.wordpress.com/2022/02/02/i...

Heads of state, mayors, scientists and policymakers have gathered in France to tackle what is being described as a global emergency facing the world's seas.

Great to have @unistrathclyde.bsky.social represented at the 2025 ‪UN‬ Ocean Conference in Nice this week via @unsrclimatehrights.bsky.social sdgs.un.org/conferences/... #SDG14

Fascinating reflections on #replication studies by @priyasilverstein.com at #EORC25. @openuniversity.bsky.social video available at www.open.edu/openlearncre...

interesting to see the cross-polinisation btw simultaneous #EORC25 Edinburgh and #CoLIS25 Glasgow: @simonxix.com referenced a CoLIS25 talk earlier, now CoLIS25 co-organiser @milenado.bsky.social presents her EU-funded #ORBIT project to promote #OpenResearch in Bulgaria openresearch.bg/19/page.html

So these are the positive and negative associations that researchers have of open science according to Zuzanna Zagrodzka orcid.org/0000-0002-86... Good to see growth in positive perceptions, but we're seeing the same objections around cost and career risk My take: That's what's stopping us #EORC25

interesting insights on institutional #OpenScience policy awareness among 24 PhD students attending the #CoLIS2025 Conference Doctoral Workshop at #StrathclydeUni today #RoomForImprovement

En route to the #colis2025 conference which, handily for me, is being held at the Technology Innovation Centre (TiC) in Glasgow (part of University of Strathclyde). 😃 Today I am one of several mentors in the doctoral workshop -- looking forward to hearing about new frontiers in research from the […]

Balviar Notay, @jisc.bsky.social equipment.data product manager examines highly-complex institutional data exchange workflow for research equipment at @ucisa.bsky.social webinar img source: zenodo.org/records/1124... #interoperability

already pondering how to best operationalise the process to start to try and make this happen -- given how inspiring the results of the poll were at yesterday's @sparc-eu.bsky.social and @kr21.bsky.social CoP meeting!

Goodness, yet another namesake! (no, it's not me talking on chainsaw economics) So good we have #ORCID

Another year, another edition (4th already!) of #UPO postgrad course "research support services: data, assessment & publishing" www.upo.es/formacionper... Jan 15th talk on #OA & role of #CRIS to support its various routes (incl #rightsretention) Thx as ever for the invite @yusnelkis.bsky.social

It's just great to see unprompted publications by @UStrathclyde researchers like @rossbrisco.bsky.social in #DiamondOA venues, openjournals.ljmu.ac.uk/DesignTechno... At the same time, the technical shortcomings (no #DOI or #DoA?) are still rather evident

Hmmm. The comments on #CoARA may have proved too difficult to address. One would hope this may hint at the national-level research evaluation framework being reassessed, but it's probably easier to just withdraw the submission and continue as usual

Proud to present at the event "Promoting #OpenAccess to Research: #Repositories and #CRIS" organised today and tomorrow by the #UPCH in Lima – and glad not to be the sole speaker on a late evening timeslot! 🌒 #CayetanoHeredia #AccesoAbierto

Just published: "Improving #CRIS features to support new #OpenAccess implementation workflows at institutions" – within the euroCRIS_Org #CRIS2024 conference proceedings doi.org/10.1016/j.pr... #rightsretention #tagging #CRIS2024

Preparing slides for #OpenAccessPublishing talk later this week for the #StrathclydeUni #NIHR Global Health Research Group on Adolescent Health and Wellbeing in #Malawi. #NIHR-funded? Please keep this in mind NIHR Open Research, openresearch.nihr.ac.uk

Stated at the #ACS webinar for UK #HEIs earlier this week: "Counterintuitively, the largest share of our Open Access publishing income these days *is not* coming from Europe, but from Africa". We *really* need to see the data 👇 #OpenAPC

Moving speech on #NIreland & the #EU by #MaryMcAleese at the #EdinburghUni #PlayfairLibrary this evening -- often quoting ‘From the Canton of Expectation’ by Seamus Heaney "Our faith in winning by enduring most they made anathema, intelligences brightened and unmannerly as crowbars"

Call for papers has opened for the International Open Repositories Conference 2025 (OR2025), to be held in the Windy City of #chicago, IL. 2025 will be the 20th anniversary of the OR conference series. Details of the call here: https://or2025.openrepositories.org/program/call-for-proposals/ […]

If one were granted just one wish on the #OAW2024 topic of "community over commercialisation" it would be: "please have institutions in all those grey areas join #OpenAPC" treemaps.openapc.net

Swiss national funder #SNSF signalled Nov 2023 they'd stop funding #OA for articles in #specialissues. Looking forward to some reporting on the impact (and for the policy to be perhaps replicated elsewhere) The (v complex) implementation technicalities would've been such a great topic for #OAW2024

Well over 12 years after the #PEER project (there's still a website, www.peerproject.eu/about/), STM Assoc make new overtures to #repositories around this #CUSAP survey for 'prompt notification on retractions or corrections' Waiting to see what #COAR may have to say stm-assoc.org/share-your-i...
