I've got a new piece at @lseimpactblog.bsky.social today following on from my previous piece about the British Library cyberattack and arguing that, since the UK Government clearly doesn't care about the UK knowledge sector, we need to develop our own community-led tech and infrastructure solutions.

A ten-year drive to credit authors for their work — and why there’s still more to do Information about the roles of each author of a paper can help to build trust, integrity and responsible research assessment. Coordinated efforts are needed to consolidate progress.

I completely agree that more is needed to implement the CRediT taxonomy in proper scholarly infrastructure. I love coding, but text and data mining is not the right way to get data that should be available in a standardised format!

Scholar Labs Early Review: Google Scholar Finally Enters the AI Era Generated by Nano-Banana Pro from text of this blog post

Or course the big bomb would be Google scholar coming in. They did just launch Scholar labs but that's deep search not deep research... But if they change their mind...

Reformation of science publishing: the Stockholm Declaration | Royal Society Open Science Science relies on integrity and trustworthiness. But scientists under career pressure are lured to purchase fake publications from ‘paper mills’ that use AI-generated data, text and image fabrication....

Newly released Stockholm Declaration recommends the following reforms to publishing:

1. Academia resumes control of publishing

2. Incentive systems to merit quality, not quantity

3. Independent fraud detection and prevention

4. Legislation and policies to protect science quality and integrity

The 4th Annual Forum for Open Research in MENA was nothing short of enlightening! A fantastic event filled with learning, inspiration and a renewed appreciation for the incredible open research initiatives happening across the region.

Google Scholar tool gives extra credit to first and last authors Researchers welcome the initiative, but say it doesn’t go far enough to capture the nuance of researcher productivity and impact.

Yay, let’s swap bad metrics for more bad metrics! 🤩 And with a twist - as shown by a browser extension.

Fantastic workshop and a great, engaged audience!

@doaj.bsky.social is one of the best things that happened to open access and open science infrastructure.

A quote from the Forum for Open Research in MENA that I am very pleased to share!

Rosalie Lack highlights the impact of @scossfunding.bsky.social to date - impressive! At the same time, she recognises that there is more to do, and more funds are needed to support open infrastructures.

First up Panel L: Dr. Andrea Chiarelli from Research Consulting shares key insights on embracing open research and lessons learned from successful initiatives across Europe and the UK.

Global open science dialogue is missing African voices. #FORM4Open

Helicopter science is a key challenge when it comes to equitable research practices. I’m loving how Perplexity clarifies this is NOT about helicopters by showing helpful helicopter schematics 🤔 #FORM4Open

Rising research output but low levels of international collaboration - a current challenge of research in the UAE. #FORM4Open

An overview of the financial models that work in various MENA countries. “Various regions are starting to develop multilateral collaborations to support the growth of Diamond OA publishing models,” and there was acknowledgment of the value of initiatives like the @eudch.bsky.social. #FORM4Open

Super interesting - 71% of OA journals found in the MENA region were launched in the last 15 years. As Emily Choynowski highlights, this shows the relatively recent developments in open research in the region. #FORM4Open

Steven Griffiths highlights that research ethics and integrity are an increasingly important part of open research at AUS - going far beyond openness for publications only. He also acknowledges that individual motivations for open research remain a barrier, partly because the time and effort needed.

Great to hear about the ALECSO initiative from Prof Mohamad Sanad Abu-Darwish at the @forumforopen.bsky.social - reflecting on how to connect the Arab region to the world when it comes to open research. Also kudos to the organisers for the very smooth live translation from Arabic! #FORM4open
