1/2 Honoured to be shortlisted for the Leo Waaijers Open Science Award 🏆✨

This recognises our work toward open, trusted, high-quality research information

Thanks to @ludowaltman.bsky.social (@unileiden.bsky.social @cwtsnl.bsky.social), @msphelps.bsky.social & Cameron Neylon for shaping the vision

Is there a relationship between the metadata publishers submit to Crossref and the submission systems they use? 🤔

We (w/ @msphelps.bsky.social) analyzed 153 publishers and 4 major systems to find out.

#OpenScience #Crossref #OpenMetadata #BarcelonaDeclaration

Metadata coverage by publisher for abstracts, affiliations, references, funding, ORCIDs and licenses, categorized by their submission system.

📢 New preprint w/ @hldejonge.bsky.social ! We explore how manuscript submission systems may affect completeness of open metadata in @crossref.bsky.social . Some systems better support metadata – but tech isn't the only factor.

NLM terminates the Literature Selection Technical Review Committee (LSTRC).

LSTRC was a rather mystical committee that chose which journals did/didn't get into Medline (main route to PubMed). Publishers lived in fear of it as inclusion can make or break a journal www.nlm.nih.gov/medline/medl... 1/3

QSS is now accepting articles that have gone through independent, open peer review via MetaResearch Open Review (MetaROR). The authors of an article on tracking transformative agreements through open metadata shared their experiences using MetaROR's Publish-Review-Curate (PRC) model:

Looking forward to the conference - and to discuss the importance and implications of open research information for the STI community! #scientometrics #bibliometrics #researchassessment

Graphic titled ‘Switzerland and the Barcelona Declaration’. The text notes that three Swiss institutions are already signatories: CERN, University of Zürich, and Swiss Reproducibility Network, highlighting Switzerland’s commitment to open and transparent research information. Below, there is a yellow map of Switzerland with a white cross in the center. At the bottom, there is a call to join in five languages—French, Italian, Romansh, German, and English—alongside the Barcelona Declaration on Open Research Information logo

🇨🇭 Switzerland strengthens its commitment to the Barcelona Declaration!

The University of Zürich has joined @cern.bsky.social and the @swissrn.bsky.social as signatories, showing Switzerland’s growing commitment to open and transparent research information.⬇️

A bold step for open research 🟨🟪👣

Wellcome has joined the Barcelona Declaration. A big move from one of the world’s leading research funders. With persistent identifiers and open metadata policies, they’re helping shift how research is recognized and rewarded.

Illustration of a modern, minimalist kitchen with shelves, utensils, and plants. Above the kitchen, the text reads: "From the Barcelona Declaration Kitchen – Recipes for Change in the Making". At the bottom right, it says "Barcelona Declaration on Open Research Information". The image visually links open research efforts to collaborative cooking and creativity.

Graphic titled "What’s on the Menu?" with icons and text representing the thematic priorities of the Barcelona Declaration on Open Research Information. The items listed are: – Journal Article and Book Metadata – Sustaining Infrastructures – Metadata for Research Outputs in Repositories – Evaluating Research Information Sources – Funding Metadata – Evidence of Benefits of Open Research Information – Replacing Closed Systems The visual uses soft yellow and purple tones, with a kitchen theme that connects open research information to the idea of preparing change collaboratively.

Illustration with the title "From the Kitchen to the Table". Five people sit around a dinner table filled with various dishes, symbolizing collaboration and sharing. Below, text explains that at the Bologna Meeting, signatories, supporters, and participants advanced actions in the roadmap of the Barcelona Declaration. A yellow button invites readers to access the full Bologna Meeting Report via a Zenodo link.

Restoring Gold Standard Science By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, including section 7301 of title 5, United

1. It's Fustilarian Friday and today's drop is the "Restoring Gold Standard Science" executive order.

My read is that this is designed to (1) protect far-fringe figures such as the antvaxxers now heading our health agencies, and (2) kneecap efforts to use scientific evidence in regulatory policy.
