Almost goosebumps to see Sarah Thompson from York University at the @oipassoc.bsky.social panel, talking about how proud they are to support initiatives they judge as in line with their principles. Including so many @copim.bsky.social things 🤩.

Are you working with research outputs that don't quite fit in - often perceived as OTHER - or supporting those who do? Would you like to join an international conversation to improve the infrastructural landscape to better meet the needs of these communities? #Infra4NTRO

Forgot the hashtag #uksg2025 Am out of practice!
Agree, it's not that everything has to be open to everyone, but it's that what we have got sucked into is so often talk of compliance which detracts very much, I think, from what the point of arguing for OA should be.

The answer to "How could we get you to do more Open Research?" Answer was "You telling us to!" - but also giving permission to do what works in their field
Yes! I talk lots about specific guidance being incredibly helpful!

I have lost count of the number of times I have pointed this out to people #uksg2025
Let’s not forget that one of the single most harmful papers of the modern era (that of Andrew Wakefield) passed peer review and was published in The Lancet. #UKSG2025

A thoughtful read on the question of what does values-led research assessment actually mean in a global context?
I’ve been lucky enough to spend the last year in conversation with some fabulous female global research assessment leaders discussing some forgotten questions in research assessment. The first of these is published on the @lseimpactblog.bsky.social today! blogs.lse.ac.uk/impactofsoci...

If you're an OpenAlex user please consider voting for me in the OA advisory board elections: bit.ly/3Zbhayn . There are lots of strong candidates though I think we can all agree that I am the handsomest, cleverest and modest-est. 1st piece of advice will be for OpenAlex to get a Bluesky account

Library/info people (worldwide)-do you know of upcoming conferences that I don’t have on the list? Especially with hashtags (& please encourage conference organisers to set one!). There’s been good BlueSky live posting from many events in the last year, it would be great to continue & develop this 📚
