"The result is a direct connection between autonomous AI agents and the OpenAIRE Graph. Instead of relying on general web content or text prediction alone, agents can work with authoritative scholarly metadata, persistent identifiers, and verified relationships between research entities. Every answer can be traced back to its source in the Graph."

Six major European organisations have issued a landmark joint statement calling for coordinated action to accelerate and embed Open Science practices across Europe.
Statement: https://zenodo.org/records/20165184
"The analysis of articles indexed in PubMed found that about one in 277 papers published in the first seven weeks of 2026 referenced a paper that didn’t exist. That was a jump from 2025’s rate of one in 458 and 2023’s one in 2,828."
"We call for a renewed commitment to open-science principles anchored in human oversight, deep sustainability, and broader justice. The paper concludes by interrogating sustainability’s absence from green-economy debates and mapping the values likely to shape the future of peer review."

Mitschnitt des April-Webinars von Knowledge Rights 21. Thema: "Closed licences, closed doors: Open licensing, AI, and the future of research impact"
"Through two compelling case studies, you will see how open licensing can directly shaped scientific discovery: from Open Targets, a pioneering public-private drug target identification tool, to the COVID-19 pandemic response, where licensing frameworks shaped who could access and act on critical research."
Prof. Dr. jur. Ellen Euler über die verfassungsrechtlichen Grenzen gesetzlicher Zweitveröffentlichungspflichten: "Der Weg zu mehr Open Access erfordert ein Umdenken auf allen Ebenen – ... Nur wenn alle Akteure gemeinsam an einem Strang ziehen, kann die Transformation gelingen und der freie Zugang zu wissenschaftlichen Erkenntnissen verwirklicht werden." #OpenAccess

Replication Journal Federation (RJF): "Officially launched in April 2026, the RJF is a network of Diamond Open Access and not-for-profit journals dedicated primarily to publishing replication research. (...) Our goal is simple: Let replication journals support each other. By cross-promoting our platforms and working as a united front, we ensure that rigorous replication research remains in the hands of the academic community."

Awesome annual event at @wikimediaDE Berlin headquarters, this time with @melaniebartos - come join us if you want some serious exchange about resilient research data / research software / research communication and such, without the conference FOMO. If your employer won't let you allow this in your work time ("it's just a barcamp"🤪), please let me know, probably we can help. #oscibar #oscibar26
