Excited to talk about modular science, Open Exchange Architecture, @curvenote.com and @continuous.foundation tomorrow.
Will be a fun day learning all that is going on in this space.
🚀🚀
A new report "Charting New Paths: The Promise of Alternative Publishing Practices."
It was good to be interviewed for this, and it nicely explores different modes of sharing and reviewing research are bubbling away.

Excited for this meeting as there has been some real progress in aligning how all contributors to the scholarly ecosystem whether they are authors, reviewers, or curators are recognized for their role in advancing knowledge. Don't forget to sign up & join the conversation!

Our next meeting tackles a big question: Can we turn reviews and curation into a reliable, trackable part of research evaluation? 📊
As research moves toward a modular, transparent future, it’s time to coordinate change through open assessment. Join us! 🚀

📣 NEW PUBLIC MEETING ANNOUNCEMENT📣
📅 April 7 (8am PST, 11am EST, 4pm BST, 5pm CST).
We are pleased to announce our next webinar where the theme will cover all of the progress and opportunities for collective action on aligning research curation and open assessment. 1/2
2025 was a big year for us: @semble.so went from concept to working product, with 150 users in 2 months, a public API, and the wonderful atproto community already helping us build into the Atmosphere. We also co-launched @atproto.science and @cairos.network. Here's our year in review and what's next
Learn about #preprints & accelerating #OpenAccess to research in our story featuring HHMI, Gates & Astera. @hhmi-science.bsky.social, @madubs.bsky.social, @gatesfoundation.bsky.social, @openaccessmaven.bsky.social, @asterainstitute.bsky.social, @pracheeac.bsky.social sparcopen.org/impact-story...
New #NIH prize competition to identify areas of biomedical science that can benefit from replication and to recognize past replication efforts to further promote the importance of research replication:

Submission deadline is in one month!
Very much enjoyed last week's meeting in Cambridge about the Publish-Review-Curate (PRC) model for scholarly publishing. There were lots of highly inspiring discussions, including an important discussion about strengthening coordination between initiatives in this area.

As 2025 draws to a close, we pause to reflect, and consider what's ahead for Open Science in the new year.

@scietyhq.bsky.social is bringing scholarly discussion to the open social web! Through NLnet-funded work w/Bonfire, we’re linking preprint discovery & federated platforms like Mastodon & Bluesky. Bonfire v1 is live & crowdfunding: indiegogo.com/en/projects/... Community-first, ad-free #OpenSource
Two posts from Bluesky. The first one shows a figure from a paper published in Nature Scientific Reports full of totally incoherent AI fabricated gibberish words. The other a comment on a recently published paper by eLife discussing the paper and its peer reviews which were published along with the paper.
Nature Sci Rep publishes incoherent AI slop. eLife publishes a paper which the reviewers didn't agree with, making all the comments and responses public with thoughtful commentary. One of these journals got delisted by Web of Science for quality concerns from not doing peer review. Guess which one?

Building trust, building together: In San Diego @continuous.foundation & openRxiv hosted a workshop bringing together developers of scientific communications tools. Implementation focused, and most importantly we got to work together.

I am really proud that eLife have published this paper. It is a very nice paper, but you need to also read the reviews to understand why! 1/n

Not at scale. I agree an institutionalised approach would be more successful. It’s been a slog to get ORCID where it is today but they’ve got good adoption so an integration could give it the secure/verified aspect it currently lacks (VERIME is run by the people who started ORCID which helps).
I’ve been keeping an eye on the VERIME cooperative which seems like a good researcher-driven solution to author identification/verification. verime.coop/how-verime-w...
🎈 Time flies! Exactly one year ago today @rorinstitute.bsky.social and @aimosinc.bsky.social launched MetaROR, a platform to publish metaresearch through the publish-review-curate approach.
Over the course of the year, we published 28 articles reviewed by 59 different reviewers.

📣 NEW PUBLIC WEBINAR: From Tools to Adoption: A Path to Modular and Interactive Scientific Publishing
📅 December 1st | 8 AM PDT / 11 AM EDT / 4PM GMT / 5PM CET
Learn the outcomes from a recent meeting that focused on laying the foundation for machine-readable research publishing.
Schedule:
Sciety is bridging preprints and open social networks. Our latest integration with #Bonfire enables you to start a discussion on Sciety and federate anywhere; meeting researchers wherever they already are.

not approved or in limbo! The Catch 22 is trying do something different but having to succumb to the rules of journal world. PRC is better than ‘Review then Publish’, however I think genuine reform comes when you unshackle from the conventions and focus on fitting out not fitting in!
The major difference to F1000R is you could take a reviewed preprint elsewhere & choose not to be ‘validated’. By having the journal publish just the ‘validated’ articles means BPC could get indexed fully by WoS. F1000R can’t be indexed in WoS due to publishing content that is approved,
We are delighted to see the growth of the ‘Publish, Review, Curate’ (PRC) initiatives in recent years!🚀
Today, we would like to spotlight Biophysics Colab @biophysicscolab.bsky.social, an international organization working to improve how original research is evaluated in biophysics

RoRI's MATTHEW project has a new reviewed preprint in @elife.bsky.social, studying the Matthew effect and early-career setbacks in research funding across 14 programmes and 6 funders ⬇️
We just posted an impact story on policies at HHMI, Gates & Astera promoting #OpenAccess #OpenScience #OpenData. Powerful signals to other funders to accelerate discovery in science. Well done @madubs.bsky.social @openaccessmaven.bsky.social @pracheeac.bsky.social! sparcopen.org/impact-story...
Navigating the ever-growing number of #OpenResearch projects is tough. It's easy for projects to fly under the radar.
Good news! We just launched ICOR's Open Research Beacon (ORB)- the searchable, central hub for the global open research movement! 1/2
