This is really depressing. We have to act and vote against our own short-term interests, for our mid and long term interests, and for global environmental justice. Way less meat, flying, AI, water consumption, stuff, way more redistribution and solidarity. theguardian.com/environment/ng…

By sheer coincidence two reports on the responsible use of research indicators were published today (20240506). One by DORA (zenodo.org/doi/10.5281/ze…) and one by LERU (zenodo.org/doi/10.5281/ze…). Disclosure: I co-authored the latter.

Leiden Madtrics Jeroen Bosman aka @[email protected] Barcelona Declaration on Open Research Information Yes, go for that decentralized approach! It can be done. Specs to interlink heterogeneous research information systems exists, eg various #signposting specs, COAR #Notify , #oaipmh , #iiif , #rioxx , #EventNotifications , #ActivityPub , #LDN , … Empower federation.

The Barcelona Declaration on Open Research Information highlights that research information systems should not only be open but also diverse and inclusive. Our authors argue that this can only be achieved by interlinking various and decentralised research information sources. #OpenScience leidenmadtrics.nl/articles/not-o…

Also, tribute to Jon Tennant RIP.

Instead of the empty promises of the last European Council, we expected one decision: 6 additional Patriot systems for Ukraine to avoid new massacres as happened again today !

#DeliverPatriotsNow

Always a special place in my heart for Utrecht University Utrecht UniversityLib, who keeps on being ahead of the game with #openscience as a university, and now also will sign the Barcelona Declaration on Open Research Information!

Now open: our call to help Local and Thematic Digital Competence Centres and the Netherlands eScience Center @akademienl.social strengthen their research software training offerings and invest in research data interoperability expertise 👉openscience.nl/en/news/now-op…

⚖️Examples of actions for institutions just starting to think about #ResearchAssessment reform:
⭐️Articulate a case for new assessment practices
⭐️Align on values to support new practices
⭐️Identify the nature of biases in current assessment systems
