Sciety

@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

Really chuffed to have our paper "Macromolecular condensation is unlikely to buffer intracellular osmolality" published in the premiere edition of Biophysics Colab @scietyhq.bsky.social

Bridging preprints and the Fediverse: Start discussions on Sciety, and continue them everywhere Announcing a powerful new feature to connect scholarly conversations across the open web

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.

Sciety secures funding from NLNet Foundation to help build discourse around preprints At Sciety we're pioneering a new layer of open scholarly communication, one that captures informal conversations around preprints and makes them discoverable and reusable. Sciety has secured new…

Preprint peer evaluation already happens here. In posts and in replies.

But it’s disconnected from the scholarly record and how science gets credited.

With support from NLnet, Sciety is working to recognise the crucial act of community curation

Sciety provides a home for communities evaluating preprint research. Publish first, then Review and Curate (#PRC) is a growing movement and today we can celebrate:

👥 27 community review initiatives through
🤝 17 organisational partnerships who have provided
💬 80k evaluations across
📄 36k papers

We're launching a series of Community Member Spotlight blogs to showcase exciting ways that researchers use Sciety to support their daily #preprint discovery!

So, to those in #SciComm and #OpenScience: What questions do you find interesting when ‘getting to know’ scientists in your field & beyond?

We believe this collaborative feedback<>development loop can benefit Sciety and the wider research community as a whole. So, #AcademicSky - in the spirit of #OpenScienceWeek, let us know who we should be connecting with! We're excited to see where our next #ScienceCollaboration could take us (3/3)

Developments at @scietyhq.bsky.social are informed by direct feedback from scientists who use our application, members of the wider research community, and the network of preprint evaluation communities we’re privileged to represent (sciety.org/groups) on our mission towards Open Science (2/3)

For our inaugural Bluesky post, we're calling on all #OpenScience enthusiasts to help us know which communities we should be speaking with to help us understand the difficulties around preprint discovery. Societies, labs, preprint review groups & tech initiatives - we’d love to know them all! (1/3)
