Diamond Open Access is an important part of the Ghent University policy on scholarly publishing. Supporting @ojcollective.bsky.social fits perfectly in our portfolio. The #OAweek, with the theme The Cost of Knowledge, is the ideal moment to announce it!

What better way to celebrate #OAWeek than to share news of our next @ojcollective.bsky.social library member - we're delighted that Ghent University Library has joined us!

Interesting work from my colleague @patrickhochstenbach.net In the age of genAI, we all know about “bad bots” that are hitting our institutional repositories and websites. But, what about the “honest bots”? How does our scholarly infrastructure react to them? patrickhochstenbach.net/botfriendlin...

How do researchers experience assessment in practice? Our partner MCAA presents survey findings on 7 Oct, 12:30-14:30 CEST, followed by an open community dialogue. Relevant to our #ARIONproject works on responsible research assessment. Register here: www.mariecuriealumni.eu/webinars/res...

The last 2 days I attended the @openaire.bsky.social GA at VU Amsterdam. As always, it was a warm gathering of our community, with new and familiar faces. We critically reviewed the last year and discussed future steps for our open infrastructure, services and support. Stay tuned!

#OAI14 day 4 was a very interesting session on Commercialization and Open Science. How to balance competitiveness, security, valorisation and openness? There are obstacles but where and how do mutual benefits enable collaboration? Discovered some services and initiatives I didn't know yet.

Paul Ayris@ucylpay.bsky.social · 11mo ago

#OAI14 Day 4 was devoted to the theme of Commercialization and Open Science. See oai.events/oai14/. There were 4 presentations and an in-depth Panel discussion. There were 105 attenders, from countries such as The Netherlands, UK, Colombia, Germany, Switzerland, Belgium, Portugal, India and Poland.
