The core of my frustration with #OpenScience practices:

We cannot have a true Open Science until we dispel the myth that papers contain usable descriptions of scientific processes.

This cannot happen until researchers are trained, using evidence-based pedagogy, to read scientific articles for USE, not citation, not argument support, but USE!!!

In my seminars, all learners leave convinced we need a documentation system grounded in usability, & that papers are NOT fit for purpose. >>

Are you a Community Gateway Manager in OpenAIRE CONNECT, or interested in becoming one?

Join our CONNECT Community Call to learn more about the role, ask questions, and engage with the OpenAIRE team. This session is part of a series of calls for current and prospective Community Managers.

The meeting will be recorded and shared via OpenAIRE channels.

RADAR ist mit seinem Wissensgraphen seit Kurzem im Knowledge Graph Registry des NFDI-Basisdienstes #KGI4NFDI (Knowledge Graph Infrastructure for NFDI) vertreten.

Damit wird der RADAR-Wissensgraph in die gemeinsame semantische Infrastruktur der #NFDI eingebunden und in deren Kontext sichtbar gemacht.

Assuming that the conference "Perspectives on Scientific Error" 2026 (also known as PSE8)
https://perspectivesonscientificerror2026.wordpress.com/
has the #hashtag #PSE8, I am happy to report that it now also has a presence in the #nanopublications ecosystem at https://w3id.org/spaces/PSE8
In preperation for the nanopublications hackathon om 2026-02-13, we are going to use that space to experiment with the use of nanopublications for conference microblogging.

Our University of Groningen Press colleagues were also at the #DigitalAutonomy Fair today.

At UGP, we work with Open Journal Systems by @PublicKnowledgeProject. We help academic staff take back control of the #academic #publishing infrastructure, for example by supporting them in setting up their own journal.

Sehr schöne Replik von Diethardt Tautz zum Diamond-OA Beitrag von Petra Gehring im #Merkur zum Jahresbeginn: https://www.merkur-zeitschrift.de/2026/01/30/diamond-ist-die-antwort-die-gegenwaertige-krise-des-wissenschaftlichen-publikationssystems-kann-ueberwunden-werden/ - lesenswert @sedoa #openaccess #diamondOA #openscience

We need more scientists giving feedback here:

Really excited to be at #Feÿtopia this week for "Open Science & Human Pyramids"!

https://feytopia.com/events/openscience-humanpyramids2

I've been looking for an excuse to visit since I heard about it at the #LondonNightCafe and I'm so excited to spend the week here bringing together thoughts and conversations around #OpenResearch, #WorkersCoops, and #IntentionalCommunities! 🤓🤩✨

I'll be partly wearing my @digiresacademy community manager hat too, and telling folks about our community and work 🎉👒

At the #OpenAIRE Technical Meeting in Athens, collaboration with #LAReferencia moved into concrete technical collaboration.

Focusing on #metadata exchange, multilingual discovery, repository usage statistics, and interoperability guidelines, these discussions strengthen long-term cooperation and improve the global integration of #OpenInfrastructures.
