If I'm honest, our team were 'glad' to know it wasn't just our institution! Sorry to hear it happens elsewhere but glad to know we aren't alone!

Appreciate this likely a route you've already done-we have it as a requirement that you use your institutional email. If you don't, we email you to say that we've verified that you're at our institution but next time, use your institutional email or we won't approve it (only on ones not automatic.)

Listening to Lynda Kellam speak about her work with the @datarescueproject.org Inspired and in awe of the collective work to save public data by this group! This American in the USA is grateful for you and what you do! #RLUK26

I absolutely loved Small Prophets and had no idea colleagues at LJMU were involved in parts of making it. Now I love it even more!! www.ljmu.ac.uk/about-us/new...

My colleague Cath is part of a consortia of different OA book publishers, if you're interested in a chat about some other options, get in touch!

For some reason, I started reading this lovely piece by @joemoransblog.bsky.social and felt compelled to listen to Erland Cooper's song he did for 6Music during Covid: www.youtube.com/watch?v=yIGc... Beautiful song to accompany such beautiful words.

‼️ On this week's podcast, I've returned to one of my first historical fascinations - Rudolf Hess and his bonkers "peace" flight to Scotland in 1941.

@ww2tv.bsky.social joined me to explore Hess' life, the flight and the conspiracy theories.

Kathleen - practicing open research is more than just knowing how and having the skills, but see a relational view which sits within context local and national (international) #ORW2026

Kathleen - what does this mean for open research? thinking about relationships is also thinking like a business - this is not a bad thing. Sustainability is a systemic issue - consider how to reconfigure (or end) relationships #ORW2026

Kathleen - positioning relationships involved working out how to work with people, competition, collaboration or coopetition? Working with competitors to develop standards. Partnership with other providers helps to ensure researchers don't select proprietory platforms #ORW2026

Kathleen - different types of relationships are needed to support and sustain open infrastructure: reinforcing relationships with publishers, forging relationships with institutions and positioning relationships with infrastructures (e.g. other services like institutional or subject repos) #ORW2026

Kathleen - Sustaining services like Dryad datadryad.org requires reconfiguring relationships and funding/business models #ORW2026

State of Open Infrastructure We surface trends, patterns, and gaps in the investment in and adoption of open infrastructure.

Kathleen - Open infrastructures are not as stable as we may think and they are not free to operate investinopen.org/data-room/st... #ORW2026

Kathleen - could we think of ways to encourage future relationships with data, need flexibility and diversity in data sharing, so not one size fits all. Talk about responsibility and care rather than "management" of data #ORW2026
