- 👀In a few weeks' time we'll be launching our NEW catalogue of open research practices in the arts, humanities and qualitative social sciences - ~30 open research practices across AHSS disciplines that we've documented so far, with detailed descriptions, examples and resources.
- We're really looking forward to sharing this work, having insightful discussions with research- and research-supporting colleagues, and prompting further debate around what openness looks like in AHSS research.
- Reposted by MORPHSSTogether with @joedeville.bsky.social I will be giving the opening keynote at the @copim.bsky.social Conference 2026: What Next for Community-led Open Access Book Publishing?(26-27 February). Would be lovely to see you there, either in person or virtually: copim.pub/join-us-for-... #CopimConference
- Reposted by MORPHSSI'm so excited to see what this turns into. We put out a call for people interested in joining a community a few months ago, and we've now got 400+ researchers. Qualitopia will be a space to build community, speak to policy, do metascience, and advocate for qualitative methods in their own right.

MORPHSS is working to push forward open research in the humanities and social sciences by understanding the unique needs of that community, and we can't wait to see what they accomplish!
