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:

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.

#Arctic climate rankings are now in for February 2025: https://zacklabe.com/archive-2025/. This was a historic month for the region with record warm conditions and record low sea ice relative to any prior February.
I have been approach by an editor of #JOSS (https://fediscience.org/@joss@fosstodon.org) who told me about #JOSE (https://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!

I just updated my #Arctic sea-ice thickness and volume graphics for February 2025 using PIOMAS data: https://zacklabe.com/arctic-sea-ice-volumethickness/
This month was the 2nd lowest February volume on record.
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.
OSMI brings together researchers, librarians, tech experts & policy-makers committed to advancing open science.

#OpenScience #OSMI 2/2
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!

Scientific progress depends on all findings, not just positive ones. Cadernos de Linguística ensures transparency by publishing studies with negative or null results, helping to combat publication bias and build a more accurate scientific record.

Im Workshop zu "Potentialen einer offenen Fehlerkultur für #Forschungsdaten" arbeiten wir an Strategien zur Etablierung einer offenen Fehlerkultur im #Forschungsdatenmanagement.
"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.
Project submissions for the June 2025 cohort are still open, and we’d love to see your projects included!
By mentoring an intern, you’re opening doors for diverse contributors and strengthening the open-source ecosystem.
If you haven’t submitted your project yet, there’s still time, as the deadline has been extended! https://www.outreachy.org/communities/cfp/
Need any help? The Outreachy team is here to support you—don’t hesitate to reach out!
Let’s build a more inclusive future together!
