Just read this paper and thought it was excellent! Would recommend to anyone interested in the feminist foundation of open science practices.

I'm not being hyperbolic when I say I have been writing this paper for literally years now, so I'm proud that she's finally out in the world. It was also probably the most constructive, kind, challenging review process I've ever had.

Brilliant! "[C]ontemporary understandings of Open Science, as both an epistemological orientation and a set of practical tools, may be strengthened by more clearly connecting them to the scholarship and practices developed by women" 👏👏 cc @sabinaleonelli.bsky.social

[…]as an entirely new movement overlooks its intellectual precedents […] risking the neglect of earlier scholarship. Second, when historical work is cited as foundational to Open Science, it typically reproduces existing patterns of gendered exclusion, rarely crediting women’s longstanding work […].

If human editors can’t control who reviews science, it’s no longer peer review — it’s a rubber-stamp machine designed for volume and profit, not quality. I have no intention of attaching my name to it. So I’m out.
