“Implications, there are a few. Trying to make sense of all of this" New @upstreamblog.bsky.social l post from @dannykay68.bsky.social - Recent shifts across the scholarly information ecosystem & what means for libraries, infrastructure providers, and open science advocates: doi.org/10.54900/6hp...

💥New: Better #metadata needs collective stewardship. John Chodacki (@chodacki.bsky.social), Adam Buttrick, Juan Pablo Alperin (‪@juancommander.scholcommlab.ca‬), Clare Dean & Dione Mentis show how community-led models like COMET can boost quality, consistency & trust in research #infrastructure 🤝

How does open science hold up in times of crisis?
@jeroenbosman.bsky.social & @jeroenson.bsky.social explore this in a sharp post on Upstream: doi.org/10.54900/pqr...
They outline threats, map types of resilience, and remind us: open science isn’t just at risk…it’s also part of the solution.
