I'm leading today's #ReproducibiliTea session on Doina Petrescu's Losing Control, Keeping Desire. What if good research isn't about more control, but about embracing uncertainty, care, and collaboration? www.researchgate.net/publication/...

"The difference is that people don't have to adapt to new systems-the systems are now being built to adapt to them." Brodheim, T. (2025) I would argue, it's the opposite. #AI #LLM #AIliteracyskills

What if the biggest breakthrough in science isn't the next discovery but the way we share it? We're excited to launch our new episode of the Open Research Podcast! Dr Quayle explores how open frameworks advance FAIR research, collaboration, and reproducibility. 👇 open.spotify.com/episode/386z...

New blog post 📣 Research Support Librarian, @nazlinbhimani.bsky.social, has written a brilliant piece about how doctoral research support can fall outside the bounds of formal supervision, and how the UKCGE Recognised Associate Supervisor Award is acknowledging this. Read the post:

Open research begins NOT with a policy, but with a willingness to question what we choose to keep behind closed doors and why. From that foundation flows the principle of openness: a deliberate commitment to transparency, accessibility, and sharing as default positions rather than afterthoughts.

Can creativity open up new ways of thinking about research? This collaborative zine explores feminism, #openScience, and collective knowledge-making through reflection and making. doi.org/10.17613/afd...

A feminist zine making workshop to reflect on open research? Only with and led by @jenniad.bsky.social More to be shared soon.

Hosting an Altmetric session today at the university to remind everyone that research doesn’t stop when the paper is published. That’s when the conversation starts. #impacttracker #researchcommunication

Last chance to submit to #OpenFest26 - deadline 30 May ⏳ With @openresshef.bsky.social and @sheffieldhallamuni.bsky.social , we’re building a programme on Open Research: people and place. We’re inviting talks, workshops & sessions on open research and collaboration. Don’t miss this one out!

Spoke at #CILIPNE about libraries supporting more open, relational research. Shared my work as a research librarian at @sheffieldhallamuni.bsky.social where I host the SHU open research podcast (on Spotify) which helps bridge disciplines and shift libraries towards more participatory spaces.

I’ll be speaking with @reddite.eurosky.social at #ALN26 on sustainable and ethical open research. We’ll explore how libraries help make open research work in practice, using examples from @sheffieldhallamuni.bsky.social around FAIR + CARE data, workflows, and responsible research support.

New Open Research podcast episode: #socialjustice We explore how EDI shapes open research, balancing transparency with ethics, trust, and care. Featuring Dr Sadiq Bhanbhro on storytelling, social justice, and impactful research beyond academia. Now on Spotify👇 open.spotify.com/episode/7xkL...

What if open science had intermediaries like courts do? People who help others actually take part in research, not just read it. Because science isn’t really open if it’s not accessible, understandable, and shared in a way that works for everyone. #transparencyparadox #LSE #OpenScienceFestival

Just attended “Transparency Paradox” at London Open Science & Scholarship. It got me thinking about science idealization but open research can actually challenge that. Bad news wouldn’t damage my trust, in fact, it would probably help me understand it better, including all the factors involved. #LSE

Looking forward to attending #DIGEST2026 (6–7 May) at Sheffield Business School at @sheffieldhallamuni.bsky.social . This year’s theme on reclaiming trust in a digital age is timely. Keen to explore digital trust, inclusion, cybersecurity, and the future of work.

Planning is underway for #OpenFest26, themed People and Place. We invite contributions exploring how openness is shaped by communities, cultures, and contexts. Submit proposals via the online form by midnight, 30 May 2026: libguides.shu.ac.uk/openresearch... #openresearchconference

Equity lives in our choices. In my recent article "Critical thinking for equity on both ends of the AI model", I highlight not what’s built in, but what must be practiced. You can now read my input for #OpenEducationWeek2026👇 societyandai.org/insights/cri...

Join us next week for this launch event and panel discussion on open research in the arts, humanities & qualitative social sciences. We're looking forward to sharing recent outputs from MORPHSS & hearing from a range of experts including @openreflections.bsky.social and @henrygonnet.bsky.social

MORPHSS@morphss.bsky.social · 6mo ago

📣Coming up on 19th March at 3pm - online Join us for the launch of the MORPHSS Report and Catalogue of open research practices in the arts, humanities & social sciences. The launch presentation will be followed by a panel discussion on openness in AHSS, chaired by @samuelmoore.org. All welcome!

Inspired by KM Gregory at #OpenResearchWeek 2026: Sustainable open research: thinking about relationships as part of the business model (will give it a go!) + reusing data isn’t just efficiency — it’s a signal of ongoing, meaningful relationships. #openscience #datasharing #researchculture

Really inspired by Eugen Stoica from @edinburgh-uni.bsky.social advocating for TDM/AI rights with the upgraded RR process across academia #OxFOS26

Delighted to be invited back to share my research support project and speak at this year’s Open Scholarship Forum at the @ox.ac.uk Excited to connect, share insights, and explore how open research can make a real impact. Check out the full programme for next week:
