Dutch researchers gain free access to new European open science publishing platform Starting this year, Dutch scientists can publish their research for free on Open Research Europe (ORE), a new platform launched by CERN and funded by the EU and national bodies. This move aims to make scientific communication more transparent, equitable, and accessible to all, regardless of funding status.

España se incorpora a Open Research Europe, la plataforma pública de publicación científica en acceso abierto impulsada por la Comisión Europea. t.co/8nTbydNRn6

A new era for Open Research Europe European Commission to co-fund new phase of operation for open access publishing platform.

In future, Open Research Europe (ORE) will no longer be open solely to projects funded under the EU Programmes for Research; instead, all research institutions in the participating countries will be able to use the platform free of charge: research-and-innovation.ec.europa.eu/news/all-res...

Graphic with the European Commission logo on a blue and teal gradient background, displaying the text “Next phase for Open Research Europe: broadening the reach of open access publishing.”

Open Research Europe (ORE) enters its next phase as a collectively funded open access scholarly publishing platform: link.europa.eu/Y4DwbR

Co-funded by organisations from 11 countries & the EU, it:
- Secures long-term stability
- Enables more researchers to publish without fees

Very much looking forward to speaking on a panel with @aileenfyfe.bsky.social and @eve.gd on 'Open Access Books: Rights, Ownership and Control' on Monday 20 April at the London Open Science & Scholarship festival!

Scientists spend a lot of time making judgements about others: papers, fellowships and grant applications. But how often do we have a Conflict of Interest and can we ever be truly unbiased? occamstypewriter.org/athenedonald...

we really don't need notifications like that 👇... 🤐
(even though we can now switch to alternatives, e.g. Europe PMC, OLSPub).

dear NIH/PubMed colleagues, stay strong, you have our support 👏

As no public funding is currently available, ZB MED is turning to community-based fundraising to build an independent, open and sustainable European publication database.

Help make knowledge accessible to everyone and support OLSPub:

Excited! We'll confirm a date nearer the time, but in April I will be speaking at the LSE on Open Access Books: Rights, Ownership and Control. Other panelists, I believe, will include the excellent @alittleroad.bsky.social.

Richard McElreath: It must not be overlooked that junior researchers DO NOT TRUST US. We, the directors, are a big part of the problem. We made this system, we remake it every year, and we benefit from it. What can we do to credibly signal our commitment to reform a corrupt research culture? My conversations with junior scientists in the society has taught me that directors are too often either indifferent or hostile to science reform. We cannot hope to convince our prize winning colleagues. Their egos are immune. But we can replace retirements with researchers who care more about integrity than their own prestige. This is important both for earning the trust of the junior researchers who really do the research in the MPG and for attracting excellent future directors and starting to earn the trust of the public. So I suggest two strong signals to our junior researchers (and the public): (1) we will reform recruitment and promotion at all levels to eliminate proxies like citation counts and journal brands in favor of reliability and sustainability; (2) we will make open science skills a core part of scientific training, through the graduate schools at a minimum, as conditions for the central funding. The most ambitious thing we could do, as hinted at in item 5 above, is to meaningfully invest in metascientific research. As the largest basic research organization in the world, the MPG is uniquely suited to studying research and its products from a broad perspective that includes the humanities, the sciences, and policy. Governments are already involved in science reform. Someone should study it in an organized and sustained way.

The Max Planck Society has begun an exploratory round table for open science. We are drafting some recommendations to leadership. Still a long way to go! But here are my notes on the most recent draft, just so you all know how I am trying to steer things.

How Pornographic Platforms Address Gender-Based Violence Under the DSA | TechPolicy.Press Marie Seck and David Klotsonis explore how major porn platforms define, assess, and mitigate gender-based violence under the EU's Digital Services Act.

Under the EU’s Digital Services Act, major platforms must assess and mitigate risks like gender-based violence. CDT Europe's Marie Seck and David Klotsonis take a first look at how Aylo, Stripchat, and XVideos approach GBV in their risk assessment reports.
