Each person who signs up to ResearchEquals gets an email from us, asking them to tell us about their research.  This extra barrier helps us moderate spam and slop before it happens. But it also has become a rewarding pathway to learn about whom we are serving. 😊💌 researchequals.com/signup

Our platform runs for roughly €25/day — and anyone can publish on it for free. The APC for a single paper could instead keep ResearchEquals online for months: Nature: €10,000 → ~400 days Scientific Data: €2,390 → ~96 days PLOS Biology: $5,500 → ~190 days DM us if your OA funds need more purpose 😉

Migrated our ATProto account from our self-hosted server to @eurosky.social – easy as eating cake! 🍰 Biggest hurdle was getting the migration code because emails were not set up on our self-hosted instance 😊

Thanks for the love @oberman.bsky.social 💜 With the chance of creative ideas, do keep sending your wildest feature requests! support@researchequals.com

I’ve been loving seeing so many feminist, interdisciplinary and decolonial perspectives in open research, and I’ve got some work in progress in this area which feels exciting 🩷 More of this please and less of the surveillance and “automated” science

Our Coalition sued Marco Rubio, and the court is agreeing with us. Today, Judge Boasberg stayed a Trump admin policy to deny revoke the visas of technology researchers, fact-checkers and trust and safety workers. knightcolumbia.org/content/fede...

Please improve acknowledgments sections to better credit research contributors! www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.... Our new paper on this topic begins by summarising three pathways to improve crediting of research contributors – 1. Loosen authorship restrictions.

Improving acknowledgments sections to better credit research contributors

Formal recognition of research contributions is critical for career advancement and the allocation of research funding. However, some contributions are mentioned only in the acknowledgments section...

What if global #OpenScience cost a fraction of one nation's journal subscriptions? 🤯 SCOSS reveals a stark contrast: €6M feeds 12 vital global #DiamondOA infrastructures, while a single country can spend over €100M on paywalls and APCs. Read the full story: scoss.org/the-6-vs-100...

Writing isn’t about making yourself into a machine that produces text in the most efficient way. It involves fermenting ideas, taking diversions, letting things evolve, going for a walk and drinking tea. Maybe I can learn to enjoy & inhabit this process more by thinking about what it’s not. 2/2

In the early stages of writing something at the moment, and the whole AI/academic writing thing is helping me to reflect on the process in ways that are more self-compassionate. 1/2

We are making ResearchEquals safe by design – we now require manual approval of new accounts and can quarantine accounts upon suspicious activity. This is about actively caring for the space we seek to create, not gatekeeping. All genuine research practice remains welcome.

Great to see the Open Source for Science Fund launched for the life sciences! We also need this for open scholarly infrastructure. Our funds run out end of 2027 and are actively looking for ways to sustain the project in a way that sustains our values.

Announcing the Open Source for Science Fund | Software Sustainability Institute

We're delighted to share that our Director, Neil Chue Hong, is serving on the Scientific Advisory Board for the newly launched Open Source for Science Fund.
