Bien avant le rachat de Twitter, nous avons constaté que nous ne contrôlions plus le contenu du flux, Twitter poussant de plus en plus des contenus ludiques, polémiques, accessoires, anecdotiques, parfois amusants, issus de comptes que nous ne suivions pas... ce qui était pénible. Il y a quelques mois, les vidéos se sont mises à se lancer toutes seules, avec le son, ce qui est contraire aux bonnes pratiques, coupant la musique que j'aime écouter. Twitter voulait absolument capter mon attention avec tous les sens. Pénible. Depuis deux ou trois jours, le premier item du flux Twitter est désormais une publicité... Tout cela s'accumule avec les autres critiques sur le risque de trumpisation de Twitter. C'est un feuilleton passionnant à suivre et les aventures d'un réseau décentralisé, très complexe à réussir à de.nombreux égards, sont tout autant intéressantes à observer.

I just outlined five possible approaches to making DOIs searchable in Mastodon. I urge people who are interested in solving the problem to across to GitHub and add their comments:

CERN opens new era in knowledge sharing

In September, CERN approved a new policy for open science, with immediate effect. Developed by the Open Science Strategy Working Group (OSWG), which includes members from CERN departments and experiments, the policy aims to make all CERN research fully accessible, reproducible, inclusive, democratic and transparent for both researchers and wider society.

@bernardrentier open-access, open-data, open & free-software and licencing under a « libre » licence should be the basis of science as it is the only way to be reasonnably sure that science is reproductible

New expectations on DORA signatories from now on 👇

"1) to make a public statement explaining their commitment to DORA;
2) research-performing organizations to ensure their implementation of DORA is informed by ongoing dialogue with staff and students who are involved in research and research-enabling activities.

The policy also states the action that DORA will take should credible reports be received of a signatory organization not living up to these expectations."

This articles asks if the principles of open source and open access are sufficient to safeguard our intellectual labor and to guard against the predatory logic of a world dominated by capitalist systems of production and dissemination. https://scholarlypublishingcollective.org/psup/victorians-institute/article/doi/10.5325/victinstj.49.2022.0198/319226/Going-a-Step-Further-Than-Open-Access-and-Open
