Lifecycle Journal is a new publishing model that supports all research outputs—not just final papers—through community-led evaluation and a publish-then-review approach.

Join our webinar on April 10 at 2 PM ET to learn:
✅ How the submission & evaluation process works
✅ What makes Lifecycle Journal different from traditional journals
✅ Whether it’s the right fit for your research

Good take by @molly0xfff on the future of open focusing on consent rather than copyright. Litigation has always been a poor call when trying to defend anything open, however measures to safeguard anything open from being sucked dry are needed.

I have been approach by an editor of #JOSS (fediscience.org/@joss@fosstodo) who told me about #JOSE (jose.theoj.org/ - for which I could not find a Mastodon handle).

The idea is to provide a low-hurdle academic reward for open access educational material -- with a particular computational emphasis.

Thing is, that you hardly get an academic “paper” if you develop teaching material. So, this might be appealing for some folk here. 😉

@thecarpentries Curriculum Team opened a pull request on generative AI for coding in the Software Carpentry Plotting and Programming with #Python lesson! We want your feedback, as this will be the foundation for similar updates across Data Carpentry, Library Carpentry, and Software Carpentry lessons. Let’s shape this together!

[This repeats the changes made in #695 (then reverted in #696). I am sorry for the confusion! 😅 The pull request will stay open for at least a week, to give community members time to provide feedba...

De Gruyter · Call for PapersArticle Call for Papers was published on March 11, 2025 in the journal Bibliothek Forschung und Praxis (volume 0, issue 0).

Last year, we found that @OpenAlex was mistakenly marking some papers as retracted—misleading researchers. We @hauschke reported the issue, posted a preprint in March 2024, and… #OpenAlex fixed it almost instantly! 👏

Meanwhile, our peer-reviewed paper on this? Published today - over a year later. See the difference? Preprints matter. Open science works.

🌍 The Open Science Monitoring Initiative (OSMI) now includes 166 members from 42 countries across all continents! This growing network shows global dedication to open science. While many members are from Europe & North America, we warmly invite more voices from Africa, Asia, Latin America, Oceania & Arab States. Let’s build a truly inclusive, global movement! 🌐 #OpenScience #OSMI 1/2

"Reproducibility should be a key factor in all your research, in all your projects. It costs time, but it's also shifting the time, and in the end it can save time again."

🎧 We are preparing new episodes for our #OpenScience Bites #podcast about #reproducibility.

We talked to Michiel de Boer of the @Dutch_Reproducibility_Network and we are very much looking forward to this episode. So stay tuned!

Previous episodes featured #OpenEducation and #PublicEngagement.
