Congratulations @ludowaltman.bsky.social and colleagues at @cwts.nl and Dialogic 🎉 We look forward to working together 😊

I'm very pleased to announce that @cwts.nl and Dialogic will develop an Open Science monitoring framework and prototype dashboard for the Netherlands in the coming 2 years.

@opensciencenl.bsky.social has selected the consortium through a European tender (outlined OSNL 2024–2025 work programme).

Thanks for writing this. Open data helps me see if I should trust or care about a particular study. If full data are crap and the paper shows amazing things, if not enough data was collected. Without data papers are nothing but illustrated essays. I see great value in having access to it.

Lots of interesting observations & ideas in this piece. “If we can stop rewarding people for output and instead reward people for good process, as judged by their own arguments that process fulfills the sound scientific principles, then we can maybe evolve towards a better state.”

What a beautifully refreshing message and reminder for the current times

“the kindest person in the room is often the smartest.” JB Pritzker is a mensch.

And a conclusion by Curtis Sharma @4turesearchdata.bsky.social "Yes, more reflection slows down the scientific process, but is that really a bad thing? We need to rethink what we mean by scientific progress."

"Across the AI movement we see the same belief — more measurements mean more data, which lets us do things more efficiently and effectively (…) But if your goal is to understand, explain, and interpret a phenomenon in relation to scientific theory, it’s not acceptable." @informusiccs.bsky.social

Great article published by @jeroenscharroo.bsky.social @opensciencenl.bsky.social reflecting on the value of #openscience principles in #AI research: www.openscience.nl/en/news/open...

ZonMw and the Dutch Research Council have published their action plan for reforming research assessment, in line with CoARA principles.

The plan includes actions around reviewing and refining the evidence-based CV and exploring #openscience practices in grant evaluations.

A framework for values-based assessment in promotion, tenure, and other academic evaluations

🎓 Today we publish another evaluation for an article whose authors present a novel method—developed through a series of workshops—for assessing academics.

🙏 Thanks to the authors, reviewers & editors!

746 proposals for a total of 3M (about 13 will be funded).

If orgs spent 4000 in personnel time preparing their proposals on average, then this mechanism actually reduced funding for open science.

Open science is extremely underfunded.

New on the blog today, Marta Teperek and Hans de Jonge explain why NWO has decided to support Make Data Count through SCOSS, in alignment with their investment in promoting FAIR and open data.

Thanks so much for giving me and @hldejonge.bsky.social @opensciencenl.bsky.social to be interviewed :) We are so pleased that we could join @makedatacount.bsky.social and we look forward to working together on better recognising the value of research data 😀

And the good news is that this call for proposals is open to both researchers and professional support staff 😀 #teamscience

But we fully agree with you about this. To support the global nature of research on open science, the Dutch Research Council has joined the Global Research Initiative on Open Science (GRIOS): www.nwo.nl/en/news/nwo-...

So while "open science", similarly to "science" overall, crosses borders, we still need to operate within national governmental frameworks.

Financial crisis or not, there must be no shuttering of open science As UK universities desperately seek savings, open science advocates must press both their moral and selfish cases, say Marcus Munafò and Neil Jacobs

Please read this urgent and important plea to invest more, not less, in open science when under financial pressure.

NWO Research Data Management policy revision started | Open Science NL

New blog on OpenScience.nl! Since 2016, NWO has encouraged researchers to take research data management (RDM) seriously. What have we learned since then? How can we improve RDM policy?
