My comment about open research and qualitative methods is out! I argue that open research needs to take seriously the notion that "rigour" looks different for different methods and can learn from qualitative traditions. It feels very apt to be at #QMIP2025 for this publication day rdcu.be/evEpk

Like the parable of the elephant in the dark, those of us working #scholcomms point to different issues depending on our role and what parts of the system we touch. What happens if we turn on lights and examine the complete picture? strategiesos.org/systematic-p... #openscience #openresearch
