Lovely to see this research on spiders in caves featured in the New York Times.

Academics seem to think you need to publish in Nature or Science to get mainstream publicity but here we are with an open access paper in a journal called _Subterranean Biology_ published by a Bulgarian publishing house (Pensoft).

Good research gets noticed, no matter where it's published.

📘 New Publication: Promising stories from the GraspOS Pilot studies

In this booklet, we present the implementation pathways and outcomes of the nine GraspOS Pilot studies, aimed at advancing Responsible Research Assessment (RRA) and strengthening Open Science practices across the European Research Area.

In the past three years, the GraspOS Pilots co-designed, validated, and evaluated Open Science-aware indicators, tools, and services for RRA across three assessment contexts:
* Funding agencies and national stakeholders using infrastructure to support funding evaluation processes.
* Universities, including departments and research groups, interested in recruitment and assessment.
* Thematic disciplines that establish domain-specific assessment criteria aligned with disciplinary needs.
The booklet offers concise narratives highlighting the activities, results, and insights from each Pilot.

@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 ?

However, I am very skeptical about displaying the h-index and i10 index (and probably also about the overall citation count). With #DORA and #CoARA, we want to get away from these indexes. (They are readily available - but that's their deceptive seduction).

To stay in the analogy: At a campfire gathering, I am looking for deep (and also funny and affiliative) conversations with fellow researchers. If there is a guy shouting out his impressive h-index as a greeting, I would immediately leave.

If we try to build a utopian community place, we should not recreate the dysfunctional incentive structures of default academia.

Yes, I know how you feel. Their response to my complaint last year was that they only do outreach, not enforcement. Same for CoARA, by the way.

IMHO, DORA et al. have no teeth at all and hence no consequences whatsoever, beyond stirring hope that then gets crushed.
