Science is under attack. In this post "The resilience of open science in times of crisis" @jeroenbosman.bsky.social and I detail events around 5 types of threats, and we propose a resilience model to safeguard scientific communities and open infrastructures.

Ik scheef een korte reactie op een stuk in de @advalvas.bsky.social. In dat artikel werd de zorg geuit dat het huidige #openaccess beleid in Nederland tot grote ongelijkheden leidt.

Een zorg die NWO deelt, maar er zijn wel degelijk positieve veranderingen gaande: advalvas.vu.nl/wetenschap-o...
Open access: ook NWO wil het eerlijker en gelijkwaardiger
Hans Radder betoogt hoe dringend eerlijk open access nodig is. Ook NWO ziet de problemen die hij benoemt, en werkt al hard aan manieren om het systeem eerlijker en gelijkwaardiger te maken.

Academic libraries play a key role in open science support, but what does that look like in practice? COS convened librarians & research professionals to discuss how they partner w/ researchers, administrators, & others to grow open scholarship awareness & participation.

Libraries and Open Science: Overlaps and Gaps with the Research Community
The Center for Open Science brought together librarians and research professionals from diverse contexts to explore how libraries partner with researchers, administrators, and others to grow open scholarship awareness and participation.

Over the past months (and at least 11 versions!), I was lucky to work with 11 amazing colleagues on a call to action to reform academic publishing.

Not another declaration, but an appeal to our powerful friends, research funders & institutions, to Stop the Drain of Scientific Publishing. 1/n

This is maybe the best news I’ve read today! A new journal on @openjournalsnl.bsky.social, and what’s particularly interesting is that this is a so-called data journal, in the humanities. #openscholarship

Diamond #openaccess 💎 funded by @utrechtuniversity.bsky.social & @iisg-amsterdam.bsky.social
🔔 Newsflash!

📅 As of today Research Data Journal for the Humanities and Social Sciences has transferred to @openjournalsnl.bsky.social, a platform specifically for diamond open access publishing.

"TURN THE VOLUME UP!" Quietly sobbing while taking in this powerful beacon of hope emanating from my very own city. ♥️
“So, Donald Trump, since I know you're watching, I have four words for you: Turn the volume up […] New York will remain a city of immigrants, a city built by immigrants, powered by immigrants, and as of tonight, led by an immigrant.” #Mamdami

His speech is absolutely 🔥!

Absolutely the best news coming out the US today, after 10 months of chaos, fear and absurdism.
Mamdani: "We can respond to oligarchy and authoritarianism with the strength it fears, not the appeasement it craves. After all, if anyone can show a nation betrayed by Donald Trump how to defeat him, it is the city that gave rise to him."

Truth sandwich in de journalistiek:

Het kiesproces in Nederland is internationaal erkend als zeer robust. Er zijn géén aanwijzingen voor ongeregeldheden bij de TK verkiezingen.

Wilders doet ongefundeerde, democratie ondermijnende beweringen.

Nogmaals: er zijn geen enkele aanwijzingen.

Questioning electoral integrity without evidence is anti-democratic behavior.

Wilders is now sharing unsourced messages suggesting voter fraud. He does so by ‘asking questions’. This comes after him questioning the ANP calling the elections.

Wilders is een X-trol. Hij wil helemaal niet de grootste zijn; hij mist de mensen, de energie en de ambitie. We zien de laatste stuiptrekkingen van een uitgebluste makelaar in haat en chaos. Journalisten zouden er goed aan doen hem te negeren en zijn leugens niet de schijn van legitimiteit te geven.

Lieve media, Wilders kan Playbook Trump alleen uitrollen als jullie, als wij journalisten, verslag doen van giftig nepnieuws als waren het feiten. Als er geen enkel bewijs is voor fraude, zijn dit soort berichten nagels aan de doodskist van de democratie

Geert Wilders hoeft niet te regeren om zijn doel te behalen. Hij heeft het land precies waar hij het hebben wil. Mijn column in @groene.nl als tijdelijke vervanger van @tamardewaal.bsky.social.

Het tijdperk van Wilders is niet voorbij: zijn rabiate gedachtegoed over asiel en de islam is genormaliseerd
Het radicaal-rechtse blok is in Nederland groter dan ooit. Des te kwalijker dat Rob Jetten er tijdens zijn campagne voor koos een vrolijk nationalisme te etaleren.
