- Lots of great insights in this article by our associate Claire Hao - take a look if (like me) you didn't get to attend the Charleston Hub conference Asia!

- It’s great to be in the room as Caroline Sutton announces the release of STM’s latest report on research integrity. It was a pleasure to support the STM Research Integrity Committee in painting a picture of publisher efforts in this fast-evolving area. s3.eu-west-2.amazonaws.com/stm.offloadm...

- I completely agree that more is needed to implement the CRediT taxonomy in proper scholarly infrastructure. I love coding, but text and data mining is not the right way to get data that should be available in a standardised format! www.nature.com/articles/d41...

- Reposted by Andrea ChiarelliNewly released Stockholm Declaration recommends the following reforms to publishing: 1. Academia resumes control of publishing 2. Incentive systems to merit quality, not quantity 3. Independent fraud detection and prevention 4. Legislation and policies to protect science quality and integrity
- It’s such a pleasure to join Dryad’s Board of Directors!
- The 4th Annual Forum for Open Research in MENA was nothing short of enlightening! A fantastic event filled with learning, inspiration and a renewed appreciation for the incredible open research initiatives happening across the region. www.linkedin.com/pulse/connec...
- Yay, let’s swap bad metrics for more bad metrics! 🤩 And with a twist - as shown by a browser extension. www.nature.com/articles/d41...
- Fantastic workshop and a great, engaged audience!
- @doaj.bsky.social is one of the best things that happened to open access and open science infrastructure. A quote from the Forum for Open Research in MENA that I am very pleased to share!
- Rosalie Lack highlights the impact of @scossfunding.bsky.social to date - impressive! At the same time, she recognises that there is more to do, and more funds are needed to support open infrastructures.

- Global open science dialogue is missing African voices. #FORM4Open
- Helicopter science is a key challenge when it comes to equitable research practices. I’m loving how Perplexity clarifies this is NOT about helicopters by showing helpful helicopter schematics 🤔 #FORM4Open
- Rising research output but low levels of international collaboration - a current challenge of research in the UAE. #FORM4Open
- An overview of the financial models that work in various MENA countries. “Various regions are starting to develop multilateral collaborations to support the growth of Diamond OA publishing models,” and there was acknowledgment of the value of initiatives like the @eudch.bsky.social. #FORM4Open
- Super interesting - 71% of OA journals found in the MENA region were launched in the last 15 years. As Emily Choynowski highlights, this shows the relatively recent developments in open research in the region. #FORM4Open
- Steven Griffiths highlights that research ethics and integrity are an increasingly important part of open research at AUS - going far beyond openness for publications only. He also acknowledges that individual motivations for open research remain a barrier, partly because the time and effort needed.
- Great to hear about the ALECSO initiative from Prof Mohamad Sanad Abu-Darwish at the @forumforopen.bsky.social - reflecting on how to connect the Arab region to the world when it comes to open research. Also kudos to the organisers for the very smooth live translation from Arabic! #FORM4open

- It was great to partner with @ebi.embl.org to explore the usage of biodata and bioinformatics resources across the world. Thanks to ThankGod Ebenezer and Matthew Thakur for the guidance and insight along the way!
- I'm looking forward to discussing research impact with @wherearethebooks.bsky.social at @forumforopen.bsky.social later this month. Register below to join our workshop!

- Unlike puzzles with a single correct answer, games highlight the interdependence of decisions. By exploring interactions as games, we can see why people sometimes act against their own long-term interest and why groups can fall into traps. open.substack.com/pub/andreach...

- A touch of systems thinking👇 might be what we need to unlock the transition to open access. #OASPA2025
- Great engagement with Malavika’s interactive session at #OASPA2025!

[Not loaded yet] - Important call from ACM for publishers to set a hard deadline for their OA transition. Stay tuned for January 2026, when their portfolio will be fully open. 👏 #OASPA2026
- A strong call to action. In my own experience, one of the greatest challenges is identifying the ‘right people’ to engage in each region to start partnerships. Languages are a big barrier, too, as are time zone differences - it might sound silly/very practical, but it’s a real blocker! #OASPA2025

- Reposted by Andrea ChiarelliAt #VitaeCon2025 we launched the report from a researcher development study in partnership with @Vitae-news.bsky.social with 14 UK & Australian universities, supporting 40,000 research staff and students. See the infographic & public report: buff.ly/76YyQRl #researcherdevelopment #VitaeCon 🧵1/7
- Valuable overview shared by Dagmar Meyer. Spoiler alert: this is only the first elephant we see at #OASPA2025 today… (wait for Malavika’s session later!)
- As the slide highlights, these journals have limited international visibility. We need to fix that: Kazuhiro Hayashi acknowledges that Japan might be in a good position to start or lead ‘something different.’ #OASPA2025
- Great to see the breadth of China’s involvement in the open access landscape, with both successes and challenges. #OASPA2025
- Our very own @rschrobuk.bsky.social kicking off the panel “Policy in progress around the world: the role of funder mandates on a 100% OA future.” Looking forward to the discussion! #OASPA2025 #publishing
- A nice reminder that Wellcome has been very active in open science (a bit small, sorry!). #OASPA2025
- Hannah Hope considers different facets of openness, building on the discussion document published by OASPA here: doi.org/10.5281/zeno... Kudos to @stephenpinfield.bsky.social for developing the underlying model! #OASPA2025
- I’ve said this before and I’ll say it again: The UK is extremely unattractive at the moment. Today, I would never make the decision to move to the UK - neither to study nor to work. Better policies are needed very soon, or the idea of the UK as a science and technology superpower will stay a dream.
- Very interesting reflection: Some (OA) journals exist not to be read, but to demonstrate output. #OASPA2025
- Day two is starting at #OASPA2025 and the hybrid tech is working! 👌🏼
- There is nowhere like the OASPA conference. It’s not even 9 and I’ve had breakfast with some of the titans of open science. Thanks for a great chat Cameron Neylon, Emily Choynowski, @jeroenson.bsky.social, @hldejonge.bsky.social and @samuelmoore.org! #OASPA2025
- Strongly agree: We need to make OA “undeniable,” to the point where it sells itself. (Adapted from Stefan Tochev, MDPI) #OASPA2025
- “If we were to design a publishing ecosystem today, it would be open access by default.” Agreed! Path dependence is hard to escape! #OASPA2025
- Cameron Neylon asked hard questions to publishers regarding the complexity of transitioning from hybrid to 100% open access. Two panellists discussed challenges around transparency: “Are we spending money on things that matter to researchers and readers? How do we best communicate that?” #OASPA2025
- Nice approach to use generative AI for multilingualism and discovery presented by Szilvia Maróthy at #OASPA2025.

- Amazing idea but not sure it needed £11m!
- Hopefully these are things we can all agree upon!
- Just had a fantastic chat and walk with James Parry in sunny Leuven, talking about all things research integrity. Looking forward to the first session at the OASPA conference in about an hour!

- In a couple of weeks (22-24 September) I will be heading to the OASPA conference. If you are going to be there, too, and would like to have a chat, please let me know! I'd love to meet some of you in person.
