All it took to download a single Lancet paper from 1988 was to connect to two different university networks via VPN, both with 2FA password protection and open eight browser tabs. Yay for #OpenAccess research!
I'm pretty excited to be attending and a part of the 1st Canadian Conference on Open Science & Open Scholarship, starting this morning. There is a free live stream for anybody that is interested and could not come in person (or didn't hear of it previously). The website with the program and other info is here: https://oscanada.github.io and if you'd like to access the Zoom links (different for day 1 and 2), they are here: https://oscanada.github.io/en/program

2/3 Recommended by @AlainQueffelec & Gwenaëlle Goude based on reviews by Will Pestle and 3 anonymous reviewers. All editorial work accessible here for full transparency: https://doi.org/10.24072/pci.archaeo.100607
3/3 This is our ⭐️115th⭐️recommendation! We will continue to transparently peer-review your manuscripts and make them free to publish / free to read pieces of citable academic work! Try us, this is the way to go in 2025 ! #OpenScience #openaccess
"legacy [academic] publishers maintain their dominance by leveraging their scale, strong brands, and investment capacity while adopting or acquiring OA models, creating a competitive environment where scale and strategic differentiation are decisive."
"The question that arises at this stage is whether openness in knowledge constitutes the Achilles heel of the once profitable legacy publishing industry or whether it is the Trojan horse of the latter for increasing its revenues."
This is your daily reminder that a bunch of sauropod palaeontologists are trying to raise $3000 so that a dozen or so new papers about diplodocoids can be open access — an amazingly good deal for the world!

“Ultimately, open science cannot be truly open until it reflects the full diversity of global knowledge. Recognizing, resourcing, and elevating African-led contributions is not only a matter of fairness—it is essential for building a richer, more relevant, and more equitable scholarly future.” | via Katina Magazine https://katinamagazine.org/content/article/open-knowledge/2025/five-perspectives-on-state-of-open-science-africa #OpenScience #OpenAccess
This should have been big news!
Ten funding agencies from eight European countries have pledged to support a public infrastructure that is poised to replace academic journals:
FWF 🇦🇹
RCN 🇳🇴
Forte 🇸🇪
ARIS 🇸🇮
SRC 🇸🇪
FCT 🇵🇹
CSIC 🇪🇸
DFG 🇩🇪
Formas 🇸🇪
ANR 🇫🇷
Only two of them issued press releases in English:

https://www.fccn.pt/en/atualidade/fct-assina-declaracao-fortalecimento-open-research-europe-ore/
and one more, NWO from 🇳🇱 considers joining:

Why is this BIG? 1/4

miriam butt kann also auf 30 jahre aktivitäten rund um #openaccess zurückblicken. ein fazit: "es braucht nicht sehr viele ressourcen – es braucht leute, die daran glauben!"
ein tolles beispiel aus der (ja genrell erfreulich open-access-affinen) #sprachwissenschaft. #oat25
I am currently conducting my very first #metaanalysis (on the psycholinguistic effect of #genderfair writing). First pleasant surprise: on the 14 studies selected to be included in the meta-analysis, we were able to obtain the raw data for 13 (either because the data was #OpenAccess or provided by the authors upon request). Second pleasant surprise: the funnel plot shows no indication of publication bias, results are symmetrically distributed, with as many studies underestimating the effect as overestimating it..

'The API (Application Programming Interface) consolidates content from all of Sweden’s 21 regions and structures it using the global data standard schema.org.
The result is a flexible, open system where around 14,000 tourism-related data entries—including destinations, accommodations, events, and experiences—can be freely accessed, reused, and integrated into digital services worldwide. '
We're at #OSFair2025 @span osfair this week!
Emma Green is facilitating a panel on building bridges between open + commercial players, while Sarah Lippincott joins a discussion on responsible research assessment via #OpenInfrastructure.
