Navigating the ever-growing number of #OpenResearch projects is tough. It's easy for projects to fly under the radar.
Good news! We just launched ICOR's Open Research Beacon (ORB)- the searchable, central hub for the global open research movement! 1/2

NEW POST: NIH explores capping APCs: Let’s look at the evidence! We used data of NIH funded from 2025, and found that APCs for a few as 7% journals (or 6% of papers) would be fully covered by a $2K cap, 25% of journals (or 21% of papers) by a $3K cap. Read more! www.scholcommlab.ca/2025/09/03/n...

Public trust in science increases when underlying data are shared. But often, data availability requests go nowhere.

How can we create the kind of high-quality, discoverable, metadata rich data lakes we need to enable reuse and spur discovery?

Whether subscription or APC-funded, we all know high impact journals can be expensive. But the true cost of incentivizing publication in these elite venues is more than simply monetary. It impacts how research is conducted. #scholcomm #openscience #openaccess #scisky
