The Science Europe report reminds us that #OpenScience is not automatically fair or inclusive. What looks like democratization of knowledge in Northern Europe or North America may, in low-resource settings, deepen existing inequalities.

Thatโs why #ScienceEurope urges us to treat open science not as dogma, but as a hypothesis about cultural reform, one that must be tested with the same critical rigour as any other scientific idea.

<p>The European Diamond Capacity Hub (EDCH), a pioneering initiative to advance Diamond Open Access publishing across Europe, was officially launched on 15th January 2025, in Madrid. OPERAS, the research infrastructure for open scholarly communication in the social sciences and humanities, will serve as the fiscal host of the European Diamond Capacity Hub. Diamond OA is [โฆ]</p>
The fishes swim in different directions
Did a session on #ResearchEthics and #ScientificMisconduct at the marine and freshwater institute in Iceland
Dr. Haseeb Randhawa followed up on #PublishinEthics
Based my lecture on www.Allea.org and #ScienceEurope documents
Synthesis: Several issues plague science, some stem from systematic issues like publishing pressure (e.g. monetary rewards for paper as the #UniversityIceland point system)
Interesting conversation w participants

โMore than our Ranksโ: een antwoord op de perverse effecten van de huidige university #rankings?
Het is i.i.g. een erg goed initiatief van #INORMS Research Evaluation Group. Betrokken zijn o.a.: #CWTS Leiden, #EUA, #ScienceEurope en #DORA.
#INORMS lanceerde dit initiatief 2 weken geleden. Het is nog geen panklaar alternatief voor de huidige #rankings. Dat zou ook veel te ambitieus zijn.
Maar het bouwt wel aan een brede coalitie tegen die rankings. En dat is hard nodig!
