A large part of the economy deals in knowledge – and I’m not talking about education alone. Knowledge is a major ingredient, as well as a byproduct of, any credible attempt at societal change. A host of institutions – universities, governments, parliaments, think tanks and what have you – continuously produce knowledge.

Is your institution’s impact getting lost in the noise? 🆘

When data is disconnected, it’s hard to get the credit you deserve in global rankings.

We’re continuing our collab with OA Switchboard Institutions. See how technical bridges can ensure your institution is authoritatively linked to every discovery your scholars make. 🛡️
Let’s move beyond the noise and build a more connected research ecosystem. 🤝

Digital identity in science is not unified by default. Tools like ORCID and database checks can reveal mismatches and missing affiliations that affect visibility and credit.

#OpenPharma just published a vision statement calling on #pharma companies to make their research #OpenAccess.
https://bmjopen.bmj.com/content/16/5/e104128

The vision statement calls for OpenAccess to texts, #OpenData (under #FAIR principles), open #PIDS (#ORCID and #ROR), plain language summaries, and patient involvement.

It understands that the goal is a stretch. and distinguishes easier short-term goals from harder long-term goals, while arguing for both.

OpenPharma is funded by voluntary contributions from pharma companies, and considers itself a collaboration of "a number of important stakeholder groups: the pharmaceutical industry, publishers, patients, academics, regulators, editors, non-pharmaceutical funders and societies."

An Open Pharma Vision for company-sponsored biomedical research publications

Open Science aims to fight misinformation and improve trust in scientific research; it encourages the reliability and accessibility of evidence, reduces inequalities through the democratisation of scientific knowledge and focuses scientific endeavours on issues of societal significance. As a multisponsor collaboration committed to driving positive change, Open Pharma has a multifaceted vision for scientific research publications funded by pharmaceutical companies (‘company research publications’) that aligns strongly with Open Science tenets. This new vision statement outlines our forward-looking principles for company research publications, both for short-term attainment (‘immediate’) and long-term commitment (‘ultimate’). Together, the principles provide a framework for positive collective action by all stakeholders involved in the development and dissemination of peer-reviewed company research publications. Underpinned by our central commitment to transparency for company research publications, we outline goals for: universal access to these publications; provision of peer-reviewed plain language summaries of the publications to aid comprehension among non-specialist readers; leveraging author and institutional metadata to advance transparency, discoverability and research impact; working towards FAIR (Findability, Accessibility, Interoperability, and Reuse) data principles through cross-sector consensus and action, and disclosure of patient involvement in research and its reporting to support transparency and encourage a research ecosystem attuned to patient centricity. We call on all stakeholders to realise the Open Pharma Vision and achieve an open and trusted future for company research publications that will ultimately advance patient care and improve global health.
