One of the key things that motivated me in joining the CoARA Steering Board was how we might coordinate across initiatives in the #OpenScience #OpenResearch #ResearchReform space to better support organisations and individuals who want to make positive change.
This joint statement from CoARA and DORA is a small step but an important one in aligning the work of CoARA and DORA. Above all I hope it signals that we are working together.
No-one needs to overthink which organizations to reach out to for support in making change.
Make that contact with whichever initiative(s) makes sense for your strategic priorities and know that we are working behind the scenes to build the networks that will support you when those needs diversify.

* "dry-run" - as part of the @digiresacademy we often do internal dry-runs of courses that are currently under development. This means that they're only open to other trainers within the community, and folks generally provide a huge amount of valuable (and kind!) feedback, and there's an opportunity to work together to improve the course.
I help organise these while wearing my @digiresacademy community manager hat (I really need to get an actual hat...) and it's really lovely to see people coming together and helping push #ResearchPractice to be more collaborative, ethical, enjoyable, and efficient 💪❤️

Noyam Journals in Accra, Ghana, has been recognised for the completeness of its metadata with a Crossref Metadata Award.
From our interview with Naa Kai Amanor-Mfoafo of Noyam Journals:
"Good metadata has made a real difference for our organisation. It has helped increase the visibility and discoverability of our journal articles."
The LMU Open Science Center participated in the AI-Hub@LMU’s annual flagship event “KI-Symposium 2025” on November 10, 2025 💡 We presented a booth that invited visitors to reflect on key questions about the intersection of Artificial Intelligence (AI) 🤖 and Open Science 🔍
Our booth encouraged dialogue around AI and how it affects Research Quality, Reproducible Research, and FAIR Data Sharing. Visitors were also interested in the following topics:
⚖️ Can we balance openness and large amounts of new information?
A participant expressed concern that Open Science would open the floodgates to an overwhelming amount of materials being shared. An important focus of open science should then be increasing the share of reliable science, emphasizing quality over quantity.
🧠 How can openness help us confront human biases?
Another discussion centered around human biases, such as the unconscious bias to interpret data in ways that confirm one’s hypothesis, and how Open Science tries to mitigate these biases.
🔒 Where do we draw the line between openness and privacy?
A discussion on ethics in AI brought up the challenging issue of sharing health data openly while protecting patient privacy. A question was raised about whether AI possesses agency and then what would concepts like responsibility and accountability for AI look like.
By sparking these conversations, we set out to explore how openness and AI can evolve together 🌍

Who do I know (ideally in the UK) who is working on making "open science" less about the science? Send me your heros in the open research in the arts and humanities please! 🎭 📖 🎨 ✨

@da5nsy We're not based in the UK, but we run ReproducibiliTea in the HumaniTeas (https://ub.uni-koeln.de/en/courses-consultations/reproducibilitea-in-the-humaniteas) at the University of Cologne in Germany. I'm curious to hear about other initiatives in this area!
