TU Delft leading the way on #openaccess. 98% of their 2022 papers were published OA 🤩. That is what policy can do. They have an opt-out Taverne Amendment policy (TA allows Dutch scientists to publish OA free of charge after a short embargo period). Brilliant #openscience examples.

A problem with meta-analyses is that not everyone reports transparently on how they acquired their data (e.g. source extracted etc.). @EdIvimeyCook et al discuss this topic and provide a very nice solution. For everyone who is even remotely interested in meta-analyses 👇

Yes, yes, yes! Working conditions need to change within academia.

Quality research needs good working conditions - Nature Human Behaviour

High-quality research requires appropriate employment and working conditions for researchers. However, many academic systems rely on short-term employment contracts, biased selection procedures and misaligned incentives, which hinder research quality and progress. We discuss ways to redesign academic systems, emphasizing the role of permanent employment.
