🔍 Tracking transformative agreements and the articles that are part of them is harder than it should be. We developed a method combining #openmetadata from OpenAlex & @coalitions-oa.bsky.social Journal Checker Tool data. w/ @hldejonge.bsky.social and @msphelps.bsky.social doi.org/10.31222/osf...

New preprint! Tracking transformative agreements w/ #openmetadata. We developed and tested a method to identify papers published under these contracts using data from OpenAlex & @coalitions-oa.bsky.social Journal Checker Tool. w/ @msphelps.bsky.social @jeroenson.bsky.social: doi.org/10.31222/osf...

New preprint: we developed an open method to track transformative agreements using OpenAlex & @coalitions-oa.bsky.social Journal Checker Tool data. Testing with Dutch Research Council NWO publications showed 89% accuracy 🎯w/ @hldejonge.bsky.social @jeroenson.bsky.social: doi.org/10.31222/osf...

Great validation of the use of open metadata to assess #openaccess under transformative agreements, using Dutch research information. I particularly liked the discussion of cases where a match did not work, highlighting the complexity of some agreements and gaps in open metadata!

To what extent do researchers funded by Dutch Research Council NWO and ZonMw share the research data and code underlying their publications? Today we published an analysis based on 10.000+ papers using the open source tool Grobid: www.nwo.nl/en/news/shar... All underlying data openly available!

The research environment in the U.S. is going through unprecedented changes, including a ban on preprints for NIH intramural researchers. In response to those events, we would like to share a message of support and ensure that ASAPbio stands firmly for open, inclusive, and uncensored science.🧪 🔬

Research data and software resulting from NWO & ZonMw funding should be shared as openly as possible. But to what extent does this actually happen? A report published today sheds light on compliance with the RDM policy. www.nwo.nl/en/news/shar... And link to the report: zenodo.org/records/1438...

Libraries have given away their data and control over their infrastructure and very few library workers actually want this.

So American learned societies do not need to roll over and comply in advance after all (well done @agu.org)

Well the award for most cowardly, boot-lickingest academic society has squarely gone to the American Society of Microbiology, who has taken down features of various non-white scientists. Absolutely pathetic behavior. Those articles are now coming up as “under review”. Truly sickening cowardice here.

The Internet Archive has to date downloaded 500 terabytes of US government websites, which it crawls at the end of every presidential term. The whole archive is fully searchable.

NIH intramural researchers are being told they're not allowed to post preprints. To raise awareness of the vast research affected, and show support for our colleagues, we're making a thread of past NIH IRP preprints. ✴️ 1 like/repost == 1 preprint ✴️ ‼️Please share‼️ https://buff.ly/3PTy6oL

Wut: "NIH staff can also continue to submit papers to journals and abstracts to meetings, and they can correspond with journals about submitted papers... But posting preprints, or unreviewed manuscripts, online is on hold." Cc: @richardsever.bsky.social

This excellent study by @najko.bsky.social confirms what many suspect for quite some time: "current levels of implementation of transformative agreements is insufficient to bring about a large-scale transition to full #openaccess". Published in #QSS @mitpress.bsky.social. doi.org/10.1162/qss_...

As of today the national website on #openaccess is completely renewed and it now comes with an awesome new feature: the DiamondOA expertise centre. A result of the national project run by universities and their libraries. www.openaccess.nl/en/diamond-o...
