Because it's #caturday and to illustrate the dimensions, our cat posed with the #Lego Millennium Falcon and "accidentally" killed #chewbacca, #c3po, and #bb9e.

Pendant des années on a expliqué à nos tutelles que le principal frein aux pratiques de Science Ouverte c'était l'évaluation par la bibliométrie et l'impact factor.
L'idée c'était d'en finir avec la bibliométrie.
Pas de faire de l'accès ouvert un indicateur de plus, en *ajoutant* l'OA à l'évaluation bibliométrique.

Did you know that @OpenAlex now provides saved searchers and scholarly literature alerts that tell you when new papers on a topic are published. I switched my alerts from Google Scholar & really like the change (fewer extra papers that don't really match the search criteria) plus it's based on open scholarly infrastructure produced by a non-profit.

(COI: because I believe in open scholarly infrastructure I volunteer on the board for the folks that make Open Alex)

The French Committee for Open Science is a signatory to the Barcelona Declaration on Open Research Information https://www.ouvrirlascience.fr/the-french-committee-for-open-science-is-a-signatory-to-the-barcelona-declaration-on-open-research-information/?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=mastodon

Colour me unsurprised: “Several said that they actively didn’t respond to emails, or acted in an exaggerated disorganised manner. This meant they were assigned fewer tasks, but were also less frequently asked, and thus got away without doing service.”

Over the past few years I've been involved in various initiatives with the goal of making research information more available and more usable.

Over the past few months we've been working to bring these together with the goal of making a step change towards openness of research information.
