Open Access Research Matters to the Public. We Can Prove It.

Information scholars have only recently undertaken empirical investigations into the societal impact of open access research. Ameet Doshi outlines the current state of the field and what needs to happen next.

Wie Citizen Science die Meinungsfreiheit stärkt: https://blog.tib.eu/2026/05/04/demokratisierung-der-wissenschaft-citizen-science-und-meinungsfreiheit/
Demokratisierung der Wissenschaft – Citizen Science und Meinungsfreiheit - TIB-Blog

Citizen Science, auch Bürgerwissenschaft genannt, ermöglicht es Forscher:innen, über ihre Expertise Bürger:innen einen Einblick in wissenschaftliche Arbeitsweisen zu geben. Es ist ein inklusiver Ansatz, bei dem wissenschaftliche Erkenntnisse von Personen gewonnen werden, die nicht hauptberuflich in der Wissenschaft tätig sind. Sie steht in einem spannenden Verhältnis zur Meinungsfreiheit, da sie einerseits den Zugang zu Forschung demokratisiert, andererseits aber auch die Deutungshoheit der Wissenschaft herausfordert. In diesem Blogbeitrg stellen wir zwei spannende Citizen-Science-Projekte an der TIB vor.

"WS#15 Embrace the Open: How do we promote the reuse of OE content?"
https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/AgSQJw5uQpudCjahjJ7mHg#/registration
Welcome! You are invited to join a meeting: WS#15 Embrace the Open: How do we promote the reuse of OE content?. After registering, you will receive a confirmation email about joining the meeting.

SPARC Europe and the European Network of Open Education Librarians invite you to the fifteenth virtual workshop of the Embrace the Open series. This workshop will be facilitated by David Stöllger, (TIB, Germany) and Sylvia Moes (SURF/Npuls, The Netherlands). We are glad to welcome Harry Stokhof (HAN University of Applied Sciences, The Netherlands) as our guest speaker, sharing his research findings on the reuse of OER in domain-specific communities. What to Expect: During the workshop, we will explore in greater depth issues surrounding the reuse of open educational resources. We see that open learning materials are being shared, but that reuse is lagging behind. But what do we mean by reuse, and which elements play a key role in this? We look forward to discussing research and user experience on the topic, and more. At the end of this workshop, you will have gained insights into the following questions: - How can we improve the reuse of open educational resources? - What does this require in terms of content creation? - What is the role of quality (standards)? - How can we make open educational resources easier to find for reuse? - How can we collaborate more on some of the bigger challenges of OER reuse? Duration: 1,5 hrs

"This item explores how institutions are turning their vision of openness into concrete strategies to embed it across research and education. It highlights how universities are bringing together open science and open education, aligning governance, incentives and infrastructure, and strengthening collaboration both within institutions and with wider society."

"Generative AI is unsettling longstanding conventions of authorship, ownership and credit in academia and across cultural production. This has prompted responses that seek to reassert the role of the intelligent, creative human individual. Arguing that notions such as “100% human authored” are untenable, Gary Hall, together with COPODE, proposes an alternative: a campaign for creative work that is “100% inhuman made”."

"There are growing concerns about the accuracy of AI-generated content and LLM's poor performance in scientific research and reasoning (McCoy et al. 2025; Kalai et al. 2025; Thomas et al. 2026). Like human researchers or clinicians, LLMs must 'read' broadly and deeply to learn. Yet, unlike humans with institutional or library subscriptions to full-text articles, AI systems face a critical and often overlooked barrier: paywall."

"It has long been understood that academic citations can mean many things other than direct influence. However, citations in policy documents are often conveniently conflated with societal impact. Marion Poetz, Christoph Grimpe and Andreas Distel show how policy citations can have a range of meanings and how natural language processing could provide a different way of analysing how research is incorporated into policy."

What policy citations “do” and “do not” reveal about the societal impact of research - LSE Impact

What does it mean when policy documents cite research? And is it a useful measure of societal impact?

"As known from other contexts, such as GitHub repositories, and anecdotally exemplified for arXiv, making source code publicly available risks disclosing otherwise 'hidden' information. Consequently, the public availability of paper sources raises the question of how much sensitive content is (unintentionally) disclosed through them."

Hidden Secrets in the arXiv: Discovering, Analyzing, and Preventing Unintentional Information Disclosure in Source Files of Scientific Preprints

Preprints are essential for the timely and open dissemination of research. arXiv, the most widely used preprint service, takes the idea of open science one step further by not only publishing the actual preprints but also LaTeX sources and other files used to create them. As known from other contexts, such as GitHub repositories, and anecdotally exemplified for arXiv, making source code publicly available risks disclosing otherwise "hidden" information. Consequently, the public availability of paper sources raises the question of how much sensitive content is (unintentionally) disclosed through them. In this paper, we systematically answer this question for all 2.7M arXiv submissions with available source files across three dimensions of source file-induced information disclosure: (1) inclusion of unnecessary files, (2) metadata embedded in files, and (3) irrelevant content in files such as source code comments. Our analysis reveals that nearly every arXiv submission contains some form of "hidden" information. Notable findings range from links to editable web documents for internal coordination over API and private keys to complete Git histories. While different tools promise to remove such information from source files, we show that they fail to reliably achieve the intended cleaning functionality. To mitigate this situation, we provide ALC-NG to comprehensively remove files, metadata, and comments that are not needed to compile a LaTeX paper.
