"#cOAlition_S wishes to commission a study…to identify ways in which readers and producers of scholarly publications (or their proxies, namely research #funders and #universities) could financially contribute to supporting the academic publishing services valued by their research communities as a function of their means in a manner that is globally equitable and sustainable."

If you want to undertake the study, apply before March 13.
The EarthArXiv #preprint service now has a Mastodon presence: @eartharxiv It's an automated bot tooting every newly accepted #EarthScience paper. Author supplied keywords are converted into hashtags so following things like #Geology will get you subdomain specific papers. #openScience
The bot is a work in progress. Feel free to send me ideas for improvement.

Something I learnt about only recently (it may have been on here): for many arxiv preprints, if you replace the "x" in the url with a "5", you will get a nice accessible html 
version!
example:

Works quite well for reading on your phone in the train for example 👍

The Earth Science Information Partners (ESIP) is a non-profit dedicated to lowering barriers to scientific inquiry and understanding in the Earth sciences. ESIP is currently seeking proposals for mini-grants related to data assimilation, analysis, or visualization tools related to wildfire or water resources.
While you're checking out the link, join one of ESIP's working groups. Great organization at the intersection of #EarthScience #dataScience and #openScience

Sign of change in research culture, not just research policy:
"REF 2021’s #openaccess #mandate for journal articles and conference proceedings has arguably had the greatest impact in driving open access engagement by researchers [in the UK]. What was once a niche pursuit that was opposed by many researchers is now overwhelmingly regarded as an everyday part of the research lifecycle."

It's been several weeks now and I haven't seen any change. Is that unusual?

Our latest #DEI paper in European Science Editing, Pourret et al. "Gender balance and geographical diversity in editorial boards of Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta and Chemical Geology" https://ese.arphahub.com/article/89470/
For those using #openScience data repositories (e.g. Dryad, Zenodo, OSF, etc), do you have a preferred repository or do you change repositories depending on the use case?
If the latter, what factors dictate where you choose to share your data?
