Jeremy ⁂HI @Bonfire, not sure if it's up to you to fix it but https://openscience.network is down from where I am, visibly due to an SSL error. Tagging @fresseng here as well :)
OpenAIREThe ERA Chair initiative in Sofia is recruiting 7 researchers. In detail, FOCUS open innovation for the cultural heritage team opens new job positions in digital cultural heritage and #OpenScience.
The deadline: 20 February 2026, is approaching!

Plus que neuf jours pour trouver les quelques 574 € afin de poser la première pierre de Bonfire, fondation de Open Science Network, le premier réseau fédéré pour la communication scientifique, sous le contrôle des communautés scientifiques.
Soyez celui ou celle qui franchit le seuil pour sécuriser le démarrage du projet : https://www.indiegogo.com/fr/projects/bonfire/community

Only nine days left to find only 574€ to secure the first stone of a new home for open science: the Open Science Network is built on Bonfire... which is so close to its first goal.
Be the one who crosses the line to the first federated open infrastructure designed for hosting scientific discourse : https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/bonfire/community

My understanding is that @bonfire is about federated components and #OpenScienceNetwork https://openscience.network/ is in the early stages of a using those to build a federated science network, aimed at hosting citable work.
I think ORCID and DOI's have been a good step forward. Journals such as ETNA in my field have loosened the grip of the big journals, SIAM remains inexpensive and well respected. SSRN, arXiv and friends are getting worse, though. Academia.edu and ResearchGate feel too much like LinkedIn, too centralized, too much low-quality algorithmic recommendation.
Personal home pages and department pre-print archives (a la Web1) still do the trick, I source from those a lot. I think having federated components to use for those would be a win. It might make the review/feedback loop a little better.
I'm outside of academic research, kinda doing my own thing, but could see my firm setting up an #OpenScienceNetwork node for things that we can collaborate on.
@neuralreckoning @bmaxv @dvdgc13
Perhaps replication, and reporting replication, is something we can also encourage in the nascent #OpenScienceNetwork (based on @bonfire) as well.
Edit: IIRC Royal Society papers print a lot of review responses. Theirs might be a pattern to replicate.

Over the hundred now ! I just backed @bonfire as well, and I think you should too, especially if you are a scholar who cares about academic liberty, freedom of research and trustworthy, ethical and equitable open science.
@bonfire is indeed building what they rightfully call a new home for open science : the Open Science Network, built on Bonfire, which is about to go live (https://openscience.network/).
Wondering what this is all about ? Well, it goes much beyond science, towards politics and democracy, as @kissane wonderfully outlines it : https://www.wrecka.ge/sparks-fly-up/
Ulrike Hahnscience needs to own its digital structure : that’s new, non-extractive, open publishing, data repositories, and new modes of peer review. But the glue that’s needed to tie that all together is communication tools owned and designed by scientists themselves. I really believe Bonfire can give us that …
if you can support their crowd funder, please do!
