📌 It took a while to get this out (because I kept coming across and needing to reflect on additional reference points) but finally the blog post on: "What do we mean when we talk about AI and open knowledge" or otherwise, reflections on the AI-Bridges Symposium held in London at the end of May, is published on the @tibhannover Blog.
🧶 It's a dense thinky-piece, but - just in time for some weekend reading - I hope some of it resonates. Open to feedback and critique, and hearing what others are thinking / writing about these thorny topics.

Commercial AI applications are increasingly scraping public data, which also impacts the open knowledge ecosystem. The AI-Bridges Symposium at the University of London brought together policy makers, academics, and open knowledge stakeholders to discuss this shift. Two central themes of the conference were the threat of extractive data usage and the great potential of Wikibase and Wikidata for fairer, AI-supported, and collaborative data workflows.

Hi @SocialCoop, thanks for accepting my application. #introduction: I'm really happy to be joining and taking my first step into the cooperative movement. I'm interested in #noncapitalist ways of living, working and relating to others, including coops, #UBI, the #solarpunk philosphy, #abundance and public #commons, including #opensource projects and #openscience. I'm also intersted in #neurocosmopolitanism and #nonviolence.
I work with data and love to code. At the moment I'm often riding the #trams around Manchester, #swimming in my local pool or climbing at my local #bouldering center.

The fact that 10 years after @MsPhelps and I included equity in our working definition of #OpenScience in the form an 'open to participation' pillar (see https://im2punt0.wordpress.com/2017/03/27/defining-open-science-definitions/) we are now at #FOR2026 conference discussing how to include equity in OS means that this change moves at glacial speed and there may be strong incentives against it. One of these might be #universityrankings with their huge inbuilt colonial legacy.

by Jeroen Bosman & Bianca Kramer [updated 20170328 to include the Open Science definition from Foster] These days there seems to be a real surge in all things open science. At least it’s …
We’re excited to share that the LMU Open Science Center (OSC) will be presenting a poster at #FOR2026Munich - The Future of Open Research: Reliable, Responsible, Equitable. Happening from May 4 to 6, 2026, at the Institute for Advanced Studies, Technical University of Munich (https://opensciencestudies.eu/for-2026-conference/)
Our poster can be viewed and downloaded here: https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.19626906. It highlights our efforts to embed open research practices at LMU Munich and beyond through a multi-angle approach.
We focus on two key initiatives:
- Switch-to-Open: a structured training and consultation program that helps research groups integrate open research practices across the full project lifecycle, from planning and data management to reproducible analysis and FAIR sharing.
- Train-the-Trainer: a program designed to equip researchers and research support staff with the pedagogical skills needed to teach and advocate for Open Research practices and tools within their own communities.
These initiatives are built on a broader foundation of accessible learning opportunities, including:
📚 A free self-learning catalog of online tutorials and lecture recordings (https://www.osc.lmu.de/training/self-learning.html)
🎓 Regular workshops throughout the year
☀️ Our annual Open Science Summer School (https://lmu-osc.github.io/Open-Science-Summer-School-2026/)
Together, these initiatives aim to make open research practices more practical, scalable, and sustainable across disciplines.
If you’re attending #FOR2026Munich, feel free to stop by and chat with us about training, institutional change, and building cultures of openness in research!

Just took a moment to follow everyone who was posting on the #FOR2026 tag over the past few days (that I wasn't already). If you are interested in #openresearch #openscience you might want to check it out as well!

Reporting late from FOR 2026 conference day 2: I had the privilege (and the pressure) of joining the plenary panel on equity & justice in open research implementation. I tried to give voice to the Global South and Eastern Europe. I shared that it's time the established players step back and let us lead.

Great to see open education represented at FOR 2026 today! Rob Farrow presented the GO-GN, a network of PhD candidates around the world whose research projects include a focus on open education (i.e. OER, OEP, MOOC). https://go-gn.net/ #OpenResearch #OpenScience #OER #FOR2026 #OpenEducation

The fact that 10 years after @MsPhelps and I included equity in our working definition of #OpenScience in the form an 'open to participation' pillar (see https://im2punt0.wordpress.com/2017/03/27/defining-open-science-definitions/) we are now at #FOR2026 conference discussing how to include equity in OS means that this change moves at glacial speed and there may be strong incentives against it. One of these might be #universityrankings with their huge inbuilt colonial legacy.

do you remember we have been collecting IUPAC names from literature (using Europe PMC) with the 1M names goal? Last August we reached 275 thousand (https://doi.org/10.59350/krw9n-dv417) and since then it really slowed down. I have been continued analyzing recent literature, but new full texts come in irregularly.
Yesterday, I switched to using the xml.gz download files instead. That helps. 10k new names in the past 24 hours :)
And with that, we mark the 300k IUPAC names :)
Four parallel processes analyzing a single xml.gz file. The screenshot shows four white-on-black panels. When extracting IUPAC names, it writes an 'x' for each new article (up to 10 thousand in a single .xml.gz), and a '.' or 'o' for each paragraph (<p> element in the XML). A '.' for a paragraph without an IUPAC name, and a 'o' for one with at least one IUPAC name. It's mesmerizing to watch the progress of the analyses pass by (an animating would show it adds at least one line per second), tho I rather had it as matrix animations.
I am really looking forward to two days of pure, unapologetic #openscience nerding out at #osflimburg

We’re excited to share that the LMU Open Science Center (OSC) will be presenting a poster at #FOR2026Munich - The Future of Open Research: Reliable, Responsible, Equitable. Happening from May 4 to 6, 2026, at the Institute for Advanced Studies, Technical University of Munich (https://opensciencestudies.eu/for-2026-conference/)
Our poster can be viewed and downloaded here: https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.19626906. It highlights our efforts to embed open research practices at LMU Munich and beyond through a multi-angle approach.
We focus on two key initiatives:
- Switch-to-Open: a structured training and consultation program that helps research groups integrate open research practices across the full project lifecycle, from planning and data management to reproducible analysis and FAIR sharing.
- Train-the-Trainer: a program designed to equip researchers and research support staff with the pedagogical skills needed to teach and advocate for Open Research practices and tools within their own communities.
These initiatives are built on a broader foundation of accessible learning opportunities, including:
📚 A free self-learning catalog of online tutorials and lecture recordings (https://www.osc.lmu.de/training/self-learning.html)
🎓 Regular workshops throughout the year
☀️ Our annual Open Science Summer School (https://lmu-osc.github.io/Open-Science-Summer-School-2026/)
Together, these initiatives aim to make open research practices more practical, scalable, and sustainable across disciplines.
If you’re attending #FOR2026Munich, feel free to stop by and chat with us about training, institutional change, and building cultures of openness in research!

Computational models are complex scientific constructs that have become essential for us to better understand the world. Many models are valuable for peers within and beyond disciplinary boundaries. However, there are no widely agreed-upon standards for sharing models. This paper suggests 10 simple rules for you to both (i) ensure you share models in a way that is at least “good enough,” and (ii) enable others to lead the change towards better model-sharing practices.

🌍 https://conceptviz.app/blog/scientific-color-palette-for-research-papers-and-posters
📊 This paper by Crameri et al. from 2020 shows why #color choice in figures matters.
Rainbow 🌈 and red–green colormaps 🛑❇️ can distort gradients, create artificial boundaries, and exclude readers with color-vision deficiency. They quantify the visual error and argue for perceptually uniform, #CVD-friendly scientific colormaps instead.
By knowing what something looks like in advance, the distortion by unscientific colour maps, like jet or rainbow, becomes instantly obvious. The look of scientific data is, however, usually unknown a priori, which makes the distortion of an unscientific colour map, and the true data representation of a scientifically derived colour map, like batlow41, less apparent. Marie Skłodowska-Curie, as originally photographed by Henri Manuel around 1920, the Earth from space, and an apple are shown a in their original images and b in distorted and c in undistorted colour versions. Inferring the true picture from an unscientifically (e.g., jet) coloured data set is incomparably harder than from a data set represented in a perceptually uniform and ordered colour map, like batlow.
Available perceptually uniform colour maps versus the non-uniform rainbow (i.e., jet; bottom row) as seen with either of the three common forms of human colour-vision deficiency (deuteranopia, protanopia, and tritanopia), and for grey-scale (representing total colour-blindness or simple black-and-white prints). Rainbow, the most-widely used colour map, fails to reproduce a meaningful smooth gradient, yet the other colour maps (see Box 2) are all universally readable.
Fig. 3: Colour map measure, distortion, and error. a, b The incremental lightness difference, ΔE, here using the CIEDE2000 formulation (see ‘Methods’), is a measure for the perceptual colour difference along the colour map. For a perceptually uniform colour map, ΔECIEDE2000 should be equal all along the colour map (i.e., a flat graph; a). Using c, d the cumulative colour lightness difference, ΔECumulative, it is possible to extract e, f the resulting visual error in percentage of total data variation. For scientifically derived colour maps like batlow41, the resulting error introduced to the data by the colouring is negligibly small as g the incremental data variation is represented equally all along the axis, and a linear data gradient, therefore, appears linear. Put differently, i a flat line looks flat. For non-scientific colour maps, like jet, h data gradients are unevenly represented and f visual error can be >7% of the displayed data variation such that j a linear graph (e.g., a flat line), for example, becomes unrecognisable.
Well while the downside is everyone seeing my amateur coding if everyone else does this (you can already see it on nonpermanent repositories), this seems an overall win for science.

Very interesting article!
"This article looks briefly at exclusive systems of knowledge production. I describe how the Open Science movement that was founded to reform science often recycles the same extractive dynamics of neoliberal capitalism described by dependency theory."

The Open Science movement promises inclusivity and better science but ignores the economic and political realities that shape research.

#OpenScience and the #fediverse .. let's get that ball rolling 💪
@jfietkau @jonny and @bonfire opened a brainstorm and evaluation on how we can provide better support for the academic world and #science in general to the #ActivityPub-based fediverse.
Various different iniitiatives are underway, and there's great opportunity to bundle forces and align these efforts where possible. Set standards.

I build and run Encyclia, a project that bridges ORCID records into the ActivityPub-based fediverse. The idea is to make ORCID records followable, so that when a researcher publishes a new work, that information can appear in your social inbox. Independently of that, I have a personal website where, among other things, I host my own academic publications. I want to make my website ActivityPub-interactable as well in the future, but it is a lower priority project. I am not closely involved with...
📢 New preprint! Ten Simple Rules for Running a ReproducibiliTea Journal Club
The idea of ReproducibiliTea is simple: Get a group of aspiring early career researchers (ECRs) together, drink tea, and critically discuss issues surrounding reproducibility, open research, and academic culture. But how do you even get started? How do you engage people? How do you balance logistics and inspiration?
In our paper, we as past and present members of the ReproducibiliTea Global Steering Committee have drawn on our experience and that of our wider network to offer you 10 simple rules for organising a ReproducibiliTea journal club. Our aim is to equip you as an ECR with the tools needed to lead grassroots change in research culture. Whether you are launching your first meeting or sustaining a long-running JC, these rules are designed to help you brew a welcoming, impactful, and inspired community – one cup of tea at a time.🍵

Très content d’avoir pu parler de notre instance #Mastodon, de @bonfire et de l’initiative #OpenSocialNetwork en perspectives durant notre assemblée générale @unif d’hiver.
J’espère que certains de nos établissements membres ou de nos partenaires publics nous demanderons de nous impliquer plus dans ce futur de la recherche scientifique !

Reclaim scientific discourse with federated digital spaces where researchers shape their own conversations, data, and collaborations
Thanks for your interest in Bonfire and the #OpenScience flavour! We'd like to clarify a few things to clear up any confusion:
- ORCID authentication is optional: it's only active if the instance operator chooses to enable it by adding an ORCID API key.
- Uses open standards: the integration uses OpenID Connect / OAuth2, just like most modern federated login systems.
- Operators have other choices: any SSO provider can be added, including adding multiple providers side by side.

Pretty excited by @bonfire, especially by the Open Science flavor (see https://openscience.network). The project in general also seems to be well thought out, in terms of roadmap or governance (putting maintenance first in the roadmap and making it strongly visible = 👏).
Congrats to the team for the release and good luck for the next steps!
(Edit: there's Ursula K. Le Guin in the crowdfunding campaign trailer, also, so you definitely should watch it)

Love it, congratulations! 😍
There are a number of #OpenScience related initiatives underway on the #ActivityPub fedi, some supported by @ngi @nlnet funding, which is great.
To avoid the pitfall of protocol decay on the app-centric #fediverse, coordination between these is necessary. So at https://coding.social we started a commons collective to discuss various cross-project concerns in a quest for alignment. Check out:

Congratulations to Dr. Junhan Wen, for successfully defending her dissertation, titled
"From iMage to Market - Machine-Learning-Empowered Fruit Supply"
Junhan recently won the Open Science award for the Growing Strawberries Dataset that she assembled as part of her PhD.

Propositions 1. An effective multiple object tracking method for associating the observations must dynamically and adaptively combine motion and appearance features. (Chapter 3) 2. Image data alone is insufficient for internal quality estimation, but can augment other information to make predictions for individual fruits. (Chapter 4) 3. The color spectrum serves as a universal criterion for fruit maturity, offering a reliable and transferable method for evaluation by both humans and robots. (Chapter 5) 4. Training a model using the regret of its decisions leads to an appropriate level of conservatism. (Chapter 6) 5. A research project is like a Lego set: only a few bricks are visible, while a larger, carefully arranged structure supports it. 6. Developing methods for treating a spherical cow is important; however, tailoring these for polygonal or real cows holds equal or greater significance. 7. If we need to categorize based on partial observation or estimation with uncertainty, we have to learn to accept the error. 8. PhD memes are the antidote to the impostor syndrome. 9. Cat propositions are neither opposable nor defendable, and thus not approvable. 10. In the journey of pursuing a PhD, one must have an addiction, among which sports is the healthiest option. These propositions are regarded as opposable and defendable, and have been approved as such by the promotors Prof.dr. M. M. de Weerdt, and Dr. T. Abeel.
A pile of printed dissertations. Their cover is an illustration of a robot hand pointing at strawberries, some of them riper than others. Charts illustrate their ripeness.
Part of the ceremony. The committee in robes are sitting behind a table, while one member stands up and speeches. Freshly minted doctor and her paranimphs are standing in front of them, with their backs to the viewer, listening. All are dressed in black. TU Delft logo in background, coat of arms on floor.
Junhan presents her research on how to predict when an individual strawberry is ripe for harvest, and how to use that information to predict the size of future harvests.

🌱OpenCitations has always grown thanks to its community of institutions and people who believe in the value of open scholarly data, and now we're asking for your input.
🏗️To continue building an infrastructure that truly reflects the needs of the scholarly community, we’ve launched the OpenCitations Community Survey.
Whether you are a supporter, a partner institution, a user, or have simply come across OpenCitations by chance (even if you’ve never used our data or looked closely at what we do), this survey is your opportunity to share your experience, tell us what works, what could be improved, and what you’d like to see in the future. Your insights will directly inform how we evolve our activities and services to better support open and responsible research.
⏲️It takes about 10 minutes to complete, and every single response helps us strengthen OpenCitations as a community-driven, transparent, and sustainable open infrastructure.

#OpenScience and the #fediverse .. let's get that ball rolling 💪
@jfietkau @jonny and @bonfire opened a brainstorm and evaluation on how we can provide better support for the academic world and #science in general to the #ActivityPub-based fediverse.
Various different iniitiatives are underway, and there's great opportunity to bundle forces and align these efforts where possible. Set standards.

I build and run Encyclia, a project that bridges ORCID records into the ActivityPub-based fediverse. The idea is to make ORCID records followable, so that when a researcher publishes a new work, that information can appear in your social inbox. Independently of that, I have a personal website where, among other things, I host my own academic publications. I want to make my website ActivityPub-interactable as well in the future, but it is a lower priority project. I am not closely involved with...

With #OpenScience we talk of an entire field that has a lot to fight for, given all that's wrong around academic publishing processes and the strangehold of commercial parties.
Also a field full of people who might design/deliver rock-solid robust & *interoperable* open standard specifications.
There's ample opportunity to start something like ForgeFed, a dedicated protocol extension spec. Working name: #ScienceFed and it can be homed at https://codeberg.org/fediverse

NWO considers joining the Statement of Intent for Open Research Europe (ORE), alongside ten other national research funders, research organisations, and ministries. The signatories aim to support and co-finance the open access publishing platform for an initial period of five years, starting in 2026.
🚀 Excited to share our new paper:
"DynTex: A real-time generative model of dynamic naturalistic luminance textures"
...now published in Journal of Vision!
🔹 Why it matters: Dynamic textures (e.g., fire, water, foliage) are everywhere, but modeling them in real-time has been a challenge. DynTex bridges this gap with a biologically inspired, efficient approach.
🔹 Key innovation: A generative model that captures the spatiotemporal statistics of natural scenes while running in real-time.
🔹 Applications: Computer vision, neuroscience, VR/AR, and more.📖
Read it here: https://doi.org/10.1167/jov.25.11.2
with Andrew Meso, Nikos Gekas, Jonathan Vacher, Pascal Mamassian and Guillaume Masson

The visual systems of animals work in diverse and constantly changing environments where organism survival requires effective senses. To study the hierarchical brain networks that perform visual information processing, vision scientists require suitable tools, and Motion Clouds (MCs)---a dense mixture of drifting Gabor textons---serve as a versatile solution. Here, we present an open toolbox intended for the bespoke use of MC functions and objects within modeling or experimental psychophysics contexts, including easy integration within Psychtoolbox or PsychoPy environments. The toolbox includes output visualization via a Graphic User Interface. Visualizations of parameter changes in real time give users an intuitive feel for adjustments to texture features like orientation, spatiotemporal frequencies, bandwidth, and speed. Vector calculus tools serve the frame-by-frame autoregressive generation of fully controlled stimuli, and use of the GPU allows this to be done in real time for typical stimulus array sizes. We give illustrative examples of experimental use to highlight the potential with both simple and composite stimuli. The toolbox is developed for, and by, researchers interested in psychophysics, visual neurophysiology, and mathematical and computational models. We argue the case that in all these fields, MCs can bridge the gap between well- parameterized synthetic stimuli like dots or gratings and more complex and less controlled natural videos.
Here are two easy things YOU can do:
#1 Every academic supporting #openscience and #openaccess should consider ORE as their primary publishing venue and ask colleague/co-authors to do the same.
#2 Point your librarian, institutional leaders, funding agencies towards the documents linked above and ask them to support ORE, too.
#3 Make *everyone* and every institution aware that they now have a choice: support parasitic corporations or the public good. By their actions you shall know them!

It's now basically impossible to log in to @EUCommission portal if you use GNU/Linux or other libre platforms.
The "EU Login Mobile App" is closed-source, which I refuse to install. No passwd or libre OTP option available.
It's a disgrace that the #EU forces their citizens to use propietary, closed source operating systems and applications.
Now we can not update news or releases of #GNUhealth in OSOR/JoinUP/Interoperable Europe until they change this rubbish portal. And we've been there since 2011.

The LIGO Virgo KAGRA study of #GW231123 was posted to the arXiv today, and is free to read
https://arxiv.org/abs/2507.08219
Data are available from the GW Open Science Center
https://gwosc.org/eventapi/html/O4_Discovery_Papers/GW231123_135430/v1/
arXiv preprint GW231123: a Binary Black Hole Merger with Total Mass 190-265 M⊙ On 2023 November 23 the two LIGO observatories both detected GW231123, a gravitational-wave signal consistent with the merger of two black holes with masses 137+22−17M⊙ and 103+20−52M⊙ (90\% credible intervals), at luminosity distance 0.7-4.1 Gpc and redshift of 0.39+0.27−0.24, and a network signal-to-noise ratio of ∼22.5. Both black holes exhibit high spins, 0.9+0.10−0.19 and 0.80+0.20−0.51 respectively. A massive black hole remnant is supported by an independent ringdown analysis. Some properties of GW231123 are subject to large systematic uncertainties, as indicated by differences in inferred parameters between signal models. The primary black hole lies within or above the theorized mass gap where black holes between 60-130 M⊙ should be rare due to pair instability mechanisms, while the secondary spans the gap. The observation of GW231123 therefore suggests the formation of black holes from channels beyond standard stellar collapse, and that intermediate-mass black holes of mass ∼200 M⊙ form through gravitational-wave driven mergers.
Figure 7 of the paper showing the inferred masses. The masses are measured to be high, but the exact values depend significantly depending on the waveform model used. These are the most significant systematic uncertainties we have seen so far. New detections are pushing the boundaries of our calculations.
Figure 8 of the paper showing the inferred spins. Results again vary between waveform models, but they consistently show high spin magnitudes with some support for misalignment relative to the orbit of the binaries.
Screenshot of from the Gravitational Wave Open Science Center showing spectrograms of the signal (which is short) as well as links to download the raw data.

To my knowledge, first time that not only prestigious journals, but also prestigious institutions are implicated as major drivers of irreproducibility:
"Higher representation of challenged claims in trophy journals and from top universities"
biorxiv.org
The ReproSci project retrospectively analyzed the reproducibility of 1006 claims from 400 papers published between 1959 and 2011 in the field of Drosophila immunity. This project attempts to provide a comprehensive assessment, 14 years later, of the replicability of nearly all publications across an entire scientific community in experimental life sciences. We found that 61% of claims were verified, while only 7% were directly challenged (not reproducible), a replicability rate higher than previous assessments. Notably, 24% of claims had never been independently tested and remain unchallenged. We performed experimental validations of a selection of 45 unchallenged claim, that revealed that a significant fraction (38/45) of them is in fact non-reproducible. We also found that high-impact journals and top-ranked institutions are more likely to publish challenged claims. In line with the reproducibility crisis narrative, the rates of both challenged and unchallenged claims increased over time, especially as the field gained popularity. We characterized the uneven distribution of irreproducibility among first and last authors. Surprisingly, irreproducibility rates were similar between PhD students and postdocs, and did not decrease with experience or publication count. However, group leaders, who had prior experience as first authors in another Drosophila immunity team, had lower irreproducibility rates, underscoring the importance of early-career training. Finally, authors with a more exploratory, short-term engagement with the field exhibited slightly higher rates of challenged claims and a markedly higher proportion of unchallenged ones. This systematic, field-wide retrospective study offers meaningful insights into the ongoing discussion on reproducibility in experimental life sciences ### Competing Interest Statement The authors have declared no competing interest.

Entscheidender nachteil bei bski ist, dass einige inhalte ggf zensiert bzw. Nicht ohne algorithmen ausgespielt werden.
Zudem wird content für investoren vermarktet, was einer #OpenScience entgegensteht.
Zudem kann man im gegensatz zum fediverse viele inhalte erst nach einem login korrekt angezeigt bekommen.

🚀1 year since we left #X / #Twitter
Our move to #Mastodon wasn't just a platform switch. It was a leap into #OpenScience in action.
We found a chance to align our communication w/ our values: transparent, meaningful, dialogue-driven.
Read about our journey, impact, challenges, and lessons:

🆕 Out now: our study on #academic staff engagement on #Mastodon
🔗 Summary
https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.15582839
💡 While Mastodon is valued for its ethical positioning, continued engagement hinges more on social and institutional dynamics than on technical features alone
➡️Ethical concerns drive adoption
➡️Peer presence matters more for staying than joining
➡️Academic institutions could be game-changers by leading adoption instead of waiting for grassroots growth
zenodo.org
This research project explores the role of Mastodon in academic communication. Sparked by a shift away from X/Twitter due to concerns over misinformation and harassment, Mastodon has become a growing space for scholarly exchange. Despite this trend, little is known about how academics engage with the platform. We conducted this study to understand academic staff's perceptions, motivations, usage patterns, and the platform’s potential benefits and challenges. The project employed a mixed-methods approach, resulting in a three-part study comprising (1) a literature review, (2) a quantitative survey, and (3) qualitative interviews. In this project summary, we briefly present the main results.

Science is under attack. In a new Upstream post "The resilience of open science in times of crisis" @Jeroenson and I detail events around 5 types of threats, show how scientists and others are pushing back and propose a resilience model to better safeguard scientific communities, individuals and infrastructures.

Open science isn't just for the rich.
I wrote about building #REPOPSI – a repository of psychological instruments in Serbian – and what it taught me about doing open science with limited resources and lots of persistence.
Screenshot of a Nature article titled "How a ‘boring administrative task’ transformed my PhD career," published on 14 April 2025 in the Career Column section. The subtitle reads, "Good ideas — and impactful tools — don’t just come from rich, Western nations, says Aleksandra Lazić, a social scientist in Serbia." The article is written by Aleksandra Lazić, whose name appears as a clickable link.

✨🔭 The night sky is rapidly getting brighter
Artificial lighting that escapes into the sky causes it to glow, preventing humans and animals from seeing the #stars. Citizen scientists reported global rapid reductions in the visibility of stars. Trends in the data showed that the average night sky got brighter by 9.6% per year from 2011 to 2022, which is equivalent to doubling the sky brightness every 8 years.

👋Hi! Welcome to the #Dutch National #OpenScience Festival, taking place at the University of Groningen and UMCG on 24 October 2025.
We're Babette and Josca from @Bibliothecaris, taking over this account for this festival edition.

Here is my new preprint on a non-invasive, high-resolution method to map spinal cord activity! 🧠⚡🦴
What you can find:
📍Cool figures!
📍 attention modulation of spinal activity (yes, spinal!)
📍 Cool videos in the suppmat
🚀 Read it here: https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2025.03.17.643665v1

The spinal cord is the key bridge between the brain and the body. However, scientific understanding of healthy spinal cord function has historically been limited because noninvasive measures of its neural activity have proven exceptionally challenging. In this work, we describe a novel recording and analysis approach to obtain non-invasive, high-resolution images of the electrical activity of the spinal cord in humans (Electrical Spinal Imaging, ESI). ESI is analytically simple, easy to implement, and data-driven: it does not involve template-based strategies prone to produce spurious signals. Using this approach we provide a detailed description and physiological characterization of the spatiotemporal dynamics of the peripheral, spinal and cortical activity elicited by somatosensory stimulation. We also demonstrate that attention modulates post-synaptic activity at spinal cord level. Our method has enabled four new insights regarding spinal cord activity. (1) We identified three distinct responses in the time domain: sP9, sN13 and sP22. (2) The sP9 is a traveling wave reflecting the afferent volley entering the spinal cord through the dorsal root. (3) In contrast, the sN13 and sP22 reflect segmental post-synaptic activity. (4) While the sP9 response is first seen on the dorsal electrodes ipsilateral to the stimulated side, the sN13 and sP22 were not lateralised with respect to the side of stimulation. (5) Unimodal attention strongly modulates the amplitude of the sP22, but not that of the sP9 and sN13 components. The proposed method offers critical insights into the spatiotemporal dynamics of somatosensory processing within the spinal cord, paving the way for precise non-invasive functional monitoring of the spinal cord in basic and clinical neurophysiology. ### Competing Interest Statement The authors have declared no competing interest.

Now everybody get up and talk to your library director and/or library committee that this is what you want to happen!

Ultimately, we need to start building new multi-country organizations, designed from the start to be community-run and resilient. A coalition of university libraries could be ideally placed to lead this effort, as they already have vast experience building for and supporting access to scientific data and publications. Just imagine a world in which universities mutually support one another by building scientific infrastructure based on free sharing, giving every country, from the poorest to the richest, secure access to the scientific data that can change the world for the better. This isn’t fanciful. It can happen, but we have to put the effort in, because nobody will do it for us.

Everybody knows that efficient, cost-effective and high-quality scholarly publishing is possible. The Global South has been demonstrating this for years, no decades, as have various journals and fields. A nice summary of how the European Geosciences Union shows the world how it's done has just been published as a preprint:

Abstract. Scientific discourse and quality assurance can be improved by open science through public peer review and community discussion of preprints on open access (OA) publishing platforms. Over 25 years, the viability and benefits of this approach have been proven by the interactive OA journal Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics (ACP) and 18 other journals published by the European Geosciences Union (EGU) and the scientific service provider Copernicus Publications. The success of the EGU journals employing multi-stage open peer 5 review reflects the attractiveness and benefits of community-driven, interactive OA publishing, including high scientific quality and impact, efficient self-regulation, low cost and financial sustainability. Since 2001, EGU has published over 50 000 journal articles, 60 000 preprints, and 250 000 interactive comments, utilizing and integrating different financing models of OA (green, gold, diamond/platinum). The EGU interactive OA journals are linked to the OA repository and interactive community platform EGUsphere and to the virtual scientific highlight magazine EGU Letters, integrating different levels of scientific communication and exchange. The EGU publications combine multiple features of open science, including different forms of open peer review and community evaluation with open access, open data, and open source elements tailored to the needs and preferences of different disciplines. We review the approach, achievements and future perspectives of interactive OA publishing (including transformative/institutional agreements and AI/ML tools) and its contribution to a universal epistemic web that captures the scientific discourse and comprehensively documents what we know, how well we know it, and where the limitations are.

🔎 OSMI aims to encourage the adoption of #OpenScience monitoring principles and to promote their practical implementation.
💡 OSMI is an original idea from the French Ministry of Higher Education and Research, the Université de Lorraine and @inria
🌐 Other initiators of OSMI include @unesco, @ChariteBerlin, @PLOS, and SPARC Europe.
OSMI is coordinated by the Université de Lorraine, SPARC Europe, and UNESCO.

The ongoing Global Open Science Monitoring Initiative @BraccoLaetitia(https://shorturl.at/hyKp8) and this study proposing an Open Science Readiness Index (https://doi.org/10.1016/j.fmre.2024.10.002) have made me recall the #UN E-government Development Index (EGDI) which monitors/compare #egovernment progress across UN Member States. The idea could be adapted to the #OpenScience domain in the form of a Global OS Readiness/Development Index

"I’m a firm believer that Open Source is one of the most important pieces of the climate change puzzle. It’s impossible to prove but to integrate environmental concerns into our number-driven economies, we need traceable software, data, and models. Without these, sustainability remains a mere concept."

Hello, fediverse! Computo is a journal of the French Statistical Society (but don't worry, everything is in English), and our goal is to publish computational/algorithmic contributions in statistics and machine learning in a reproducible, open access way. Our papers are submitted as notebooks, and you can read them as html or pdf files.
Curious about what this can look like? Take a look at the articles we've already published https://computo.sfds.asso.fr/publications/

Funding for #openscience and @OpenScienceNL is being cut per government's plans that were published today. It is very disappointing that the Netherlands is jeopardizing its leadership position in open science, but open science remains essential. We will continue to push for the transition. We'll respond further once the cuts are clear.
Screenshot from the government programme with the text: "We will reduce funding for the Research and Science Fund by investing less in large-scale scientific infrastructure and cutting funding for the Regieorgaan Open Science NL and NWO. We will end some of the incentive grants. The remaining funds will be used more efficiently for the same policy goals."

Logo of the Open Science Blog of the University of Groningen Library. In the background: front window of the building with sign University Library
Having moved over to #HumanitiesCommons yesterday, I believe it's time for a proper #introduction 👋🏽
Hi, I'm Toby, and am currently working as product manager of @Thoth_metadata - prior to that, I have been project manager on the Community-led Open Publication Infrastructures for Monographs (COPIM) project.
With a background in Cultural and Media Studies (MA in Television Studies), I am interested in exploring #OpenScholarship practices in their many facets - currently with a focus on scholar- and community-led #OAbooks #radicalOA #OpenInfrastructure for the Humanities and Social Sciences 📚
For the last thirteen years, I've worked in projects that sought to foster uptake of #OER and #OpenEducation practices, #FLOSS tools for teaching and learning, & #OpenScience in more general terms and in a variety of configurations.
Btw. 2012-2018, I did a part-time PhD project on TV & Cultural Memory but eventually decided to step away bc. of personal/health reasons ... #mediastudies #commodon
The most radical idea in #OpenScience is to gently take researchers by the hand and patiently teach them, 1 on 1, how to do useful #OpenScience documentation, using evidence-based pedagogy grounded in the equally radical idea that science is done by mere humans, warts and all.
Writing policy and imposing it top-down without effective implemented pedagogy cannot create the change we need.

This EU #openscience policy announcement, despite the somewhat underwhelming EU lingo in some places, is a bombshell, if/when properly implemented:
IMHO, many places around the world, especially the rich ones not running something like SciELO/Redalyc etc. (looking at you, USA!), should closely study this document and what it actually means and entails.
NEW PREPRINT: "From impact metrics and open science to communicating research: Journalists' awareness of academic controversies".
Drawing on interviews with health and science journalists, we describe how questions of research integrity, #peerReview, and #openscience shape their practices.

A paper by @joeroe and I has finally been published in Internet Archaeology! https://doi.org/10.11141/ia.67.13
The paper investigates the collaborative experiences involved in archaeological open source software development, looking how archaeologists create these tools as part of a broader community of practice
intarch.ac.uk
This article investigates modes of collaboration in the emerging community of practice using 'open-archaeo', a curated list of archaeological software, and data on the activity of associated GitHub repositories and users. An exploratory quantitative analysis is conducted to characterise the nature and intensity of these collaborations and map the collaborative networks that emerge from them.

New article! I compared climate opinion in NZ and Australia and found:
- Climate opinion is more polarised in Aus than NZ *but*
- More people see climate as high importance in Aus than NZ
- For most people, climate change is a cultural (not economic) issue
- Being culturally conservative is associated not just with being a "hard" climate denier, but also with being "lukewarm" on climate action

I usually feel the first #arxiv version is more important but getting this #quantumAlgorithm published has taught me a lot in the whole process and I'm glad it's finished 😄 It was written alone but now if I think about it it was so much influenced by so many #quantum people who were helping me make it better and comprehensible😛😂, THANKS🙏👏👏😁
@quantumjournal is fully #OpenAccess and waived the publishing fee (recommended 450 euro) because it's a single-author publication of a postdoc (requesting toi waive the fee has a dedicated box even in the submission form!) - speaking of journals supporting scientists #OpenScience 🖖

👋🏽 Olá! I'm Leo and here is a new #introduction.
I am Professor of #Geophysics at Universidade de São Paulo, Brazil, where I study the Earth using tiny disturbances in its gravity and magnetic fields, from global 🌎 to microscopic 🔬 scale.
I create mathematical and computational tools to extract as much information as we can from these data. My entire career has revolved around #OpenSource (mainly @fatiando), #OpenScience, and #OpenEducationalResources.

P.S.:
Leider habe ich die Überschrift wohl nicht #seo suchmaschinenoptimiert formuliert, so dass der Artikel auf #Google ziemlich versteckt ist (Danke an @cinux@mastodon.social für den Hinweis). Aus diesem Anlass habe ich hier noch mal eine kleine fedi-interne "Umfrage" gestartet zur Nutzung von #Suchmaschinen.

Been a busy past few days with work, travelling, and fighting off jet lag... but one thing that I am happy to announce is that an HPC community engineering team that I helped start is now officially a part of the Ubuntu project. If you are interested in using Ubuntu for HPC, or just interested in being involved with a community engineering team, you should totally check out this article below 👇

✨🔭 The night sky is rapidly getting brighter
Artificial lighting that escapes into the sky causes it to glow, preventing humans and animals from seeing the #stars. Citizen scientists reported global rapid reductions in the visibility of stars. Trends in the data showed that the average night sky got brighter by 9.6% per year from 2011 to 2022, which is equivalent to doubling the sky brightness every 8 years.
Updated #introduction:
I'm Hanna-Kaisa. I'm here mostly to follow #ClimateCrisis policy, politics and research, and #feminism.
I currently work as lecturer in public and social policy at the University of Galway. My research is mostly about #PoliticsOfCare.

I've created another account on another instance for toots which are *not* related with the scientific community:
@cyclotopie
So here @jocelyn_etienne I'll toot in English about #OpenScience #ScienceMastodon #Research in general and the scientific communities I belong to, #biophysics, #AppliedMaths, #DevBio
@cyclotopie will toot in French and English about #society and #citizenship topics, and also #books, #films,...
All human subjects research in psychology should report the date range of data collection alongside the basic demographics in the method section. We seem to have a consensus that some demographic description of the sample should be available to readers by default; the approximate historical context is surely similarly important. The publication year is not a good proxy due to the highly variable duration of each stage of the research and publication process.

Español: esta introducción completa mi autopresentación en español; no ha cabido en el mismo toot. (4/4)
Habitante de una internet que se perdió, uso exclusivamente software libre desde 1996, Debian desde 1997; muy esperanzado en la extensión de GNU Linux a los móviles #LinuxMobile #MobileLinux y en el movimiento por una ciencia abierta #OpenScience; creo que el conocimiento nunca debió dejar de ser libre. Sí, yo también vengo de twitter, pero también de identi.ca y de varios otros espacios. Iré donde esté la gente porque la herramienta es eso, una herramienta, aunque sea superior y más libre que las otras, pero ojalá ojalá cuaje esta mudanza al Fediverse. (3/4)
I tend to hang around universities doing research, teaching and service.
Currently looking for a job!
