Stratos

Researchers who are confident in the robustness of their work and willing to have it scrutinized are more likely to engage in #openscience best practices. That has useful operational implications for #scholcomms

Here’s to Stratos, our work together, and the future of Open Science - Stratos As Stratos enters its seventh year, our focus is on synthesis and convergence to bring the ideas and innovations together to maximize progress and impact.

🎉Happy New Year, from Stratos! Let's make 2026 a year full of convergence, collaborative action, and #OpenAccess advancement!

Here’s to Stratos, our work together, and the future of Open Science - Stratos As Stratos enters its seventh year, our focus is on synthesis and convergence to bring the ideas and innovations together to maximize progress and impact.

Change can feel slow while it’s happening, but the contemporary landscape looks very different from even a few years ago.

NEW POST: NIH explores capping APCs: Let’s look at the evidence! We used data of NIH funded from 2025, and found that APCs for a few as 7% journals (or 6% of papers) would be fully covered by a $2K cap, 25% of journals (or 21% of papers) by a $3K cap. Read more! www.scholcommlab.ca/2025/09/03/n...

Should the NIH pay APCs? - Stratos The NIH has requested feedback on how to maximize the impact of tax-payer funded research grants by placing limits on Article Publishing Charges (APCs) beginning in 2026

Should the NIH continue to pay APCs? Not if the goal is to build a more efficient, rapid, innovative, and transparent scholarly communication ecosystem.

Public trust in science increases when underlying data are shared. But often, data availability requests go nowhere.

How can we create the kind of high-quality, discoverable, metadata rich data lakes we need to enable reuse and spur discovery?
