Let’s see what we can achieve together!

Two new profile widgets coming in the next #OpenScience flavour release:

📄 Most Recent Publication: showcase your latest work
⭐ Most Cited Publication: highlight your most cited publication
🔧 Quantitative metrics now hidden by default while we consider removing them entirely ( discussion here: https://indieweb.social/@bonfire/114929867344891955 )
✨ New settings panel lets users toggle each widget on/off individually

@nicebread This is a crucial question to discuss in the open and possibly create a statement from it somewhere for future reference...
Should the open science network commit to the #DORA and #CoARA agreements and therefore not include researchers quantitative metrics at all ?

@open_science@GermanRepro

@nicebread This is exactly the kind of feedback we're looking for! we were thinking of hiding the quantitative metrics widget by default and letting users show it on demand if they want it... to be more aligned with https://coara.eu/agreement/the-commitments/ (which also @fresseng pointed us to few days ago)
Would this approach make sense to you?
@openscience@a.gup.pe

For those curious about what's technically possible, here's the OpenAlex API docs: https://docs.openalex.org/
We could explore research networks, collaboration patterns, open access rates, interdisciplinary connections, and more...
The question is:
what would make profiles genuinely useful for how you work?
Let's build this together 🔬
@open_science

As we integrate #OpenAlex data into the #Bonfire#OpenScience flavor, we're displaying familiar metrics: works count, citations, h-index, research topics, institutional affiliations...
These might be exactly what you need, or perhaps just a starting point.
What additional information would help you find collaborators or understand someone's work better?
We're opening this design process to the open science community. Share what works, what doesn't, what's missing.

we're indeed very curious about the TwoWay RSS @fahrni was talking about... 👀
