Liebe dt. Wissenschaft, von mir verlangst Du seit Jahren vollstes Commitment. Von Dir bekomme ich im Gegenzug nichts als maximale Unverbindlichkeit. So kann es mit uns nicht weitergehen. Deshalb schreibe ich Dir diesen Brief — nachzulesen heute in meinem Newsletter #ArbeitInDerWiss! #IchBinHanna

An die deutsche Wissenschaft: (k)ein Liebesbrief

Liebe deutsche Wissenschaft, wir müssen reden.

Really lovely little video! I felt very sorry for the poor sad English professor.

1/5🧵After a long trip through peer review limbo, our paper on inclusion and public participation in Open Science policy is finally out! 📖 doi.org/10.1098/rsos...

Towards an inclusive Open Science: examining EDI and public participation in policy documents across Europe and the Americas | Royal Society Open Science

National, international and organizational Open Science (OS) policies are being formulated to improve and accelerate research through increased transparency, collaboration and better access to scienti...

doi.org

2/5 We analyzed 52 policy documents from Europe and the Americas. We found that most make broad claims about democratizing knowledge, but offer little in the way of concrete measures to support inclusion or public engagement.

3/5 That is, inclusion is often treated as secondary—something that might follow from openness, rather than something requiring its own commitments and actions. Publics are named, but rarely centered. Our findings suggest that without more intentional policy, this won’t change.

4/5 Being able to read or reuse research isn’t the same as being able to contribute to it—or shape the systems that govern it. As governments question the value of inclusion, it’s urgent we ask who Open Science is for—and who gets to shape it.

5/5 Grateful to Reviewer 1 for their thoughtful and constructive feedback. Co-authored with @juancommander, @estebanmorales.bsky.social, @fleerackers.bsky.social, @idorsch.bsky.social, @stephenpinfield.bsky.social & @masimard.scholcommlab.ca

After Springer in 2022, now Elsevier forbids OpenAlex to store abstracts of Closed Access papers. github.com/ourresearch/... We think this is a worrying trend, hindering the discoverability of research. @relx.bsky.social Is this what you mean with 'Empowering Open Science' ?
