Innovation in scientific publishing and its implications for Crossref DOI registration practices - Request for input - Crossref Lots of exciting innovations are being made in scientific publishing, often raising fundamental questions about established publishing practices. In this guest post, Ludo Waltman and André Brasil disc...

We need good practices for DOI registration for publish-review-curate platforms like @metaror.bsky.social and others.

@andre-brasil.bsky.social and I wrote a blog post about this: doi.org/10.64000/76j...

Together with @crossref.bsky.social we hope to receive input from the community on this issue!

Fraud and cover-up Fraud and cover-up

#FutureSciPub Philip Campbell mentions that like laws of physics, systems change funeral by funeral. Luckily many of the people at this meeting are ready to support change!

Part of me is sorry not to be at the #FutureSciPub meeting at the Royal Society yesterday & today - mainly because I won't be seeing so many old friends & colleagues. Thanks to all those who have been posting updates. I was at the 2015 meeting, which…1/5 occamstypewriter.org/scurry/2015/...

@ludowaltman.bsky.social argues, at the @royalsociety.org, that we are dealing with challenges around the curation of scholarly publications, but the main challenge for the future is about developing meaningful dialogues, where the focus moves partially from peer review to more peer engagement.

Blood and Soil Race and the radicalisation of the British right

Having spent the week discussing metascience, I was struck by this @samfr.bsky.social piece on metapolitics. In both arenas it is important to attend to language (& rhetoric) so that the origin & extent of system problems can be properly identified & addressed. open.substack.com/pub/samf/p/b...

Stellar panel to kick off Day 2 of #Metascience2025

A passionate & brilliant opening keynote by @crsugimoto.bsky.social surveying the outlook for US & global science.

Followed by @fidlerfm.bsky.social, John Ioannidis, Lin Zhang & Andy Stirling. Superbly chaired by Chonnettia Jones.

Cassidy Sugimoto pulls no punches in diagnosing the science policy effects of the current US administration
