#introduction

I’m working for the Helmholtz Association’s Open Science Office. Our mission is to promote the cultural change towards #OpenScience.

A few days ago, we announced the adoption of the new @helmholtz #OpenScience policy:

I blog from time to time on https://wisspub.net (in German) on innovations in scholarly communications.

Researchers push preprint reviews to improve scientific communications https://doi.org/10.1126/science.adg2283.

Great report by Jeffrey Brainard covering a recent workshop on preprint peer review organized by #HHMI, @ASAPbio and #EMBO. Lots of hugely important developments in this area. If you want to contribute yourself, make sure to #PublishYourReviews!

Thanks to @cwts @neesjanvaneck for compiling the statistics presented in this piece based on data from @crossref. See also https://www.leidenmadtrics.nl/articles/the-growth-of-open-peer-review.

As you may recall:

• The W3C is in part hosted by MIT but MIT intends to withdraw on Dec 31.
• A new W3C nonprofit needs to take over on Jan 1.
• MIT needs to transfer assets (member dues, contracts, IP…) to the new W3C for it to operate.
• I was elected to the W3C Board and am part of the negotiations.

We're two weeks away from cutover and the negotiations are going… poorly. 🧵

Big news – the @ERC_Research
Scientific Council has decided to sign the Agreement on Reforming Research Assessment #ReformingRA (see last paragraph)! An excellent further evidence of the great momentum that #CoARA is keeping up.

Oh this is too good. Since Twitter is now blocking Mastodon links, someone has created a link shortener to hide them. Gotta love the URL:

Some academic organizations are already literally mastering their #SocialMedia presence.

This is the future, now! Get on board.

Centre for Science and Technology Studies (CWTS) at Leiden University sets up their own #Mastodon server, for organizational, staff and affiliate accounts.
