I and may amazing advisor @nicole_c_nelson and our brilliant collaborator Kelsey preprinted! 🖨️

"Adverserial" reanalyses of regulatory data pose a deep problem for existing methods of adjudicating which science our regulations should be based on

This is, unfortunately, a continually-relevant story about what #openscience and #opendata mean for how we make regulations and come to consensus as a society

🆕 Out now: our study on #academic staff engagement on #Mastodon

🔗 Summary
https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.15582839

💡 While Mastodon is valued for its ethical positioning, continued engagement hinges more on social and institutional dynamics than on technical features alone

➡️Ethical concerns drive adoption
➡️Peer presence matters more for staying than joining
➡️Academic institutions could be game-changers by leading adoption instead of waiting for grassroots growth

We're pleased to share that Encyclia has joined our success stories.

@encyclia bridges academic research to the #fediverse by making #ORCID researcher profiles and publications discoverable through #ActivityPub—built with #Fedify for seamless interoperability across Mastodon and other fediverse platforms.

This demonstrates Fedify's versatility beyond traditional social networking, helping specialized domains connect to the federated web.

We're also grateful for #Encyclia's sponsorship support, which helps make Fedify's development possible.

It's now basically impossible to log in to @EUCommission portal if you use GNU/Linux or other libre platforms.
The "EU Login Mobile App" is closed-source, which I refuse to install. No passwd or libre OTP option available.
It's a disgrace that the #EU forces their citizens to use propietary, closed source operating systems and applications.
Now we can not update news or releases of #GNUhealth in OSOR/JoinUP/Interoperable Europe until they change this rubbish portal. And we've been there since 2011.

La implementación de GNU Health en el Níspero (Honduras) resume perfectamente nuestra filosofía del proyecto. La informática médica de calidad, libre y gratuita mejora la calidad vida de los pueblos. Debe ser un derecho universal y no un privilegio de unos pocos.
Enhorabuena a UNITEC por el fantástico trabajo en la implementación e integración con la comunidad que han realizado. ¡Seguimos! ❤️

As we integrate #OpenAlex data into the #Bonfire #OpenScience flavor, we're displaying familiar metrics: works count, citations, h-index, research topics, institutional affiliations...
These might be exactly what you need, or perhaps just a starting point.
What additional information would help you find collaborators or understand someone's work better?
We're opening this design process to the open science community. Share what works, what doesn't, what's missing.

How does #OpenScience make science more resilient to external influences? This is one of the key questions explored in the discussion “The role of Open Science in safeguarding the research enterprise.”

With impulses from:
🔹 @petersuber (Harvard Library, online)
🔹 @lavaeolus (Humboldt University of Berlin)
🔹 Julia Prieß-Buchheit (Kiel University)

Moderated by Tim Errington (Center for Open Science).
