I don't want to offend anybody, but I think there is a need for more honesty regarding how it's all going with the reform of publishing.

I think it's not going well.

There is so much more good that could happen so rapidly. Instead, reform seems to be stuck in an illusory "tragedy of the commons", while a very real "treachery of the private" is happening. Academia is manifestly being outsmarted by corporate-directed forces.

I'd love to be proved wrong.

My research on ALL-IN meta-analysis is part of this field of anytime-valid statistics based on e-values. :)

Maybe I should switch universities... 🤔 Utrecht already made headlines with their plans to abolish the academic/service staff distinction: https://www.uu.nl/en/news/from-academic-staff-wp-and-support-staff-obp-to-colleagues Then earlier this week, they withdrew from the terrible THE ranking: https://akademienl.social/@MsPhelps/111144405231435322 And now they eliminate the horrible archaic gown convention where only full professors were allowed to wear them. Now all members of the 'corona' can (the assessment committee - yes, unfortunate name 😬): https://www.uu.nl/en/news/entire-assessment-committee-is-allowed-to-wear-gowns-from-now-on

«According to Utrecht University, the rankings place “too much emphasis on scoring and competition,” while the university says it considers collaboration and openness of scientific research to be more important»

Great decision.

Utrecht University chose not to be included on the Times Higher Education rankings

The fact that Utrecht University does not appear in the world ranking of universities this year was a conscious choice by the university itself. Utrecht University said it did not provide any data to the makers of the British trade magazine Times Higher Education’s World University Rankings, so they couldn’t determine a score.

@chartgerink @MaartenvSmeden @sims Could you please boost (You are some people that know Mastodon better than I do and/or that I associate with RCTs. Thanks very much!)

Does anyone know of a funder of clinical trials that has some form of open review? Or has openness about the applicant’s response, committee deliberations and funding decision to the peer reviewers?

I find it very important to do my part as a statistical reviewer of clinical trials, but my review for the Dutch funder ZonMW just disappeared in a black hole.

Please boost this question!

Stappen in Erkennen & Waarderen zetten met behulp van burgerraden. Wat een goed idee! En meteen ook pilots met bestuurlijke vernieuwing want Nederlandse universiteiten blijken erg hiërarchisch in internationale vergelijking! https://www.scienceguide.nl/2023/05/erkennen-en-waarderen-vraagt-om-brede-participatie-voorkom-dominantie-van-overlevende-medewerkers/

Erkennen en Waarderen vraagt om brede participatie: voorkom dominantie van ‘overlevende’ medewerkers - ScienceGuide

Goede implementatie van het Erkennen en Waarderen-programma vereist representatieve inspraak, aldus Radboud-hoogleraren.

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.

"Environmental groups claim the [London] #ScienceMuseum has lost its ability to honestly discuss the true impact of the oil and gas sector on the #environment because of gagging clauses it has signed with big businesses… #Shell…tried to influence the presentation of a #climate change programme it was sponsoring at the Science Museum."
