One of the key things that motivated me in joining the CoARA Steering Board was how we might coordinate across initiatives in the #OpenScience #OpenResearch #ResearchReform space to better support organisations and individuals who want to make positive change.

This joint statement from CoARA and DORA is a small step but an important one in aligning the work of CoARA and DORA. Above all I hope it signals that we are working together.

No-one needs to overthink which organizations to reach out to for support in making change.

Make that contact with whichever initiative(s) makes sense for your strategic priorities and know that we are working behind the scenes to build the networks that will support you when those needs diversify.

Gaming the metrics: Emanuel Kulczycki says the history of Soviet central planning in Eastern Europe has led to a focus on counting articles & the word count of books. Keynote on the last day of PUBMET. Many scholars maintain the status quo by doing the minimum at the lowest possible cost.

Should the UK replace journals with a REF repository?

Immediate review of outputs by a REF reviewer could be more efficient, transparent, informative and, above all, fair, says Martin Lang
