Open Science for Evaluation Use: How Applying Open Science Principles Can Further Open up Evaluation This article explores how open science principles can enhance evaluation practices. It identifies open science approaches that can be integrated at various stages of the evaluation process to improve...

🔍 What if evaluations were as open as research?

Applying #OpenScience principles to evaluation can boost transparency, credibility, and impact. Sharing methods, data & findings openly helps the whole community. Time to rethink how we evaluate?

The Keys to Enhancing Scholarly Integrity in Open Repositories

Your research is open—but is it accurate? 🔎
This study by @freddie2310.bsky.social reveals that 91% of corrections in HAL go unmentioned.

Are repositories doing enough to flag retractions & updates to maintain research integrity?

Implementing FAIR Data Principles

Metadata management is more than compliance—it's about making data truly FAIR.

This study by Gorka Fraga-González & team offers tips like:
✅ Using secure, version-controlled platforms
✅ Automating workflows, and so much more

Small steps = big impact!

Full paper here > doi.org/10.1038/s415...

📢 MyScienceWork's Research Information System is Now ORCID-Certified

This strengthens research data workflows & improves metadata quality for all institutions employing our research management system.

Big thanks to the @orcid.org team for the comprehensive support during the certification process!

Linking citation and retraction data reveals the demographics of scientific retractions among highly cited authors Retractions are becoming increasingly common but still account for a small minority of published papers. Using a database that links retractions to the top 2% most highly-cited scientists across scien...

4% of top-cited scientists have retracted papers. Mistakes or something more?

This study shows retractions are more common in high-pressure fields & often linked to self-citation. Should citation metrics also track retractions? Lots to think and takeaway from this one! ⬇️
