New study: "The average proportion of #OpenAccess publications in European countries is significantly higher (39.07%) than the world average (30.16%), with a clear inclination [toward] the #GreenOA route (79.41%) compared to the #GoldOA route (52.30%). Most European research #funders and institutions [#universities] have required researchers to make OA available for their research findings."

📖 #MondayMusings with Peer Community In 📖

It takes a #Community to build #OpenScience!

In this piece published in LSE Impact Blog, Per Pippin Aspaas suggests building diamond #OpenAccess models in the style of #Norwegian #Dugnad - a collective #social effort!

PCI thanks all its #authors, #reviewers, #recommenders, #managers, #partners & #funders for making it possible to go the #Dugnad way!! 🙏🙏 🙏

Update. The US #NIH and Australian Research Council (#ARC) have banned the use of #AI tools for the #PeerReview of grant proposals. The #NSF is studying the question.

(#paywalled)

Apart from quality, one concern is #confidentiality. If grant proposals become part of a tool's training data, there's no telling (in the NIH's words) “where data are being sent, saved, viewed, or used in the future.”

#Funders

A great way for research institutions to kick-start research assessment reform journey and review current practices with view to the #CoARA commitments!

EU-funded #GraspOS project invites #universities #funders and other organisations, who are or could become #CoARA signatories, to answer the landscape survey on #ResearchAssessment practices.

Deadline 28 May 2023. Distribute the survey in your networks!

Every 🤢fake provenance 🤢
- for a forgery
- or Holocaust-linked artwork
- or looted antiquity
written or published or commissioned by a museum is
a 🤢falsification of history🤢 by an institution
abusing the trust placed in it by the public.

Yet, no effort has been made to track false provenances and the interconnected #networks of #authors, #funders, #publishers, and #disseminators.

🎯Specially targeted at #Institutions, #Libraries & #Funders that need to plan #OpenAccess costs

It's nice that science #funders like ERC continue their support for #Ukrainian #scientists,but when I was still working in #academia I found that such initiatives didn't help, b/c the real sticking point was the mindset of people in hiring positions. Much support was only lip service. Some examples: (1)in the early days, when it wasn't clear what the work visa situation for Ukrainian refugees would be,figuring out practicalities required a lot of work. Someone told me: "I really want to help,

"#cOAlition_S wishes to commission a study…to identify ways in which readers and producers of scholarly publications (or their proxies, namely research #funders and #universities) could financially contribute to supporting the academic publishing services valued by their research communities as a function of their means in a manner that is globally equitable and sustainable."

If you want to undertake the study, apply before March 13.

@cra1g I cannot speak to the number of utilities that may already exist... but I do know that utilities are being developed with the intent to add utility for Mastodon users.

For example, I am currently working on a #nonprofit and #funders app to help people find the orgs they are interested in on Mastodon. The information is sourced from public/open data sources along with voluntary contributions to fill in the missing data. This tool has a specific niche... but I imagine others will come.

Thank you to Funders…

for supporting good lives, love and friendship. ❤️

The expanding #value of #LongTerm #studies of #individuals in the #wild

"The future of individual long-term studies is not always secure. #Funders have typically not prioritized the maintenance of such work, and most studies have been funded by long runs of back-to-back #ShortTerm #grants. Because continuous #monitoring is essential, the process forces #researchers to walk a tightrope of unbroken #GrantRaising success in an increasingly competitive funding environment"

Sharing a blogpost published last month on www.plymouthoctopus.org

In the summer, I was part of a #DemocraticLottery experiment to give #collaborative grants selected by chance.

In this blog, I argue that #luck works in #funding in a similar way to poker. #Funders and #voluntary groups need skill, but luck determines success.

#Preprints are the future. Come on, #funders, time to implement #Plan_U. https://www.eurekalert.org/news-releases/970604

My PhD is in Applied #psychology. I've worked a lot w/ Black-led #NonProfit #NGO #thirdSector orgs to create system changes. Clinical psych is mainly white middle-class women oriented and many #Black #BIPOC /asylum seekers won't get mental health help. We need to look at #music, #dance, #movement #innerWisdom as a way to promote #mentalHealth. I try to play matchmaker, finding #grants but I'd like to see #funders devote #funding to #innovative & #inclusive work

15 years of #DFG in #India!🎉🎂 Exchanging new ideas & enabling new endeavours for the future #research collaboration between India and Germany: This was it about when DFG's Secretary General Heide Ahrens invited #scientists and #funders to celebrate our presence in New Delhi.

Discover how #openscience can accelerate discovery & improve the rigor & transparency of #research culture. Especially useful for #funders, societies, #publishers, & leaders looking to provide solutions.
