Gemeinsam mit Kolleg*innen aus mehreren anderen deutschen Einrichtungen kümmern wir (@TIBopenpub) uns um die Übersetzung zentraler PKP-Dokumentation zu #OpenJournalSystems.
@jfenner hat eine Reihe von Translation Sprints organisiert und berichtet im Blog der @tibhannover :
Update. "Center for Open Science (#COS) Statement on U.S. Executive Orders and the Future of Open Scholarship"
https://www.cos.io/about/news/cos-statement-on-the-future-of-open-scholarship
"Recent executive orders and shifts in U.S. federal policy pose significant concerns for the research community, including the removal of publicly available data, changes in research governance, and uncertainties around funding. While some policies claim to promote transparency, their selective application risks undermining scientific integrity. True openness must apply across all research domains —not just where it aligns with political agendas. COS remains steadfast in its commitment to protecting and promoting open scholarship. Ensuring long-term access to research data is essential to maintaining scientific integrity. Our Open Science Framework (OSF) remains a reliable resource for researchers seeking to preserve and share their work, ensuring that public knowledge remains accessible despite policy uncertainties."
Update. "US Funding Cuts Imperil Open Infrastructure Globally"
https://katinamagazine.org/content/article/open-knowledge/2025/US-funding-cuts-imperil-open-infrastructure-globally
"The impacts of funding cuts to research in the US extend far beyond their immediate targets. We see a chain reaction that could indelibly alter the education and research landscape, including the future of open and sustainable research…So what is there to do?… Here are our three specific calls to action…"
I was honored to be invited to speak at the Open Research Week about our journey with #REPOPSI, the Repository of Psychological Instruments in Serbian.
Curious about the 
open tools we used or the discussion on equitable 
funding?

Update. "Safeguarding Research & Culture — Distributing Cultural Memory"
https://safeguarding-research.discourse.group/about
"The destruction of knowledge and cultural heritage has happened, and therefore it can happen again. We are in the middle of that happening, whether it is caused by human action or natural causes…Safeguarding Research & Culture (#SRC) is creating an alternative #infrastructure for archiving and disseminating of cultural heritage and scientific knowledge…Together, we can ensure that our cultural, intellectual and scientific heritage exists in multiple copies, in multiple places, and that no single entity or group of entities can make it all disappear. Our archive is built according to the principles of #FAIR and #CARE, based on open technologies and standards, and resilient against loss via meaningfully distributed storage…Everyone, from individuals to institutions, can participate by accessing, contributing, and supporting these archival infrastructures."
Update. "‘Omg, did #PubMed go dark?’ Blackout stokes fears about database’s future"
https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-025-00674-3
"The NIH told Nature in an e-mail that, on 1 March 'some of NIH public-web services experienced service disruptions' but all services were restored on 2 March. 'NIH is committed to resilient and open access to PubMed and other NIH web services,' the team wrote. But [Krutika Kuppalli, an infectious-diseases physician] says any disruption — even if temporary — raises concerns about how researchers access essential scientific information. 'It also serves as a reminder of the need for contingency plans, such as alternative #repositories or offline access to critical research, to ensure that health-care providers and researchers are not left without crucial information when they need it most,' she says."

Update. From @neuralreckoning: "Science must step away from nationally managed infrastructure"
https://www.thetransmitter.org/policy/science-must-step-away-from-nationally-managed-infrastructure/
"Scientific data and independence are at risk. We need to work with community-driven services and university libraries to create new multi-country organizations that are resilient to political interference."
Today is the 23d birthday of the Budapest Open Access Initiative.

BOAI is still active and issued its 20th anniversary recommendations in 2022.
https://www.budapestopenaccessinitiative.org/boai20/
Unlike previous BOAI statements, which made many recommendations, the 20th anniversary statement deliberately focused on just a small number of top priorities:
1. Adopting #OpenInfrastructure
2. Reforming #ResearchAssessment
3. Moving away from #APCs
4. Moving away from #ReadAndPublish agreements.
I'm proud of my association with the #BOAI, #BOAI10, and #BOAI20.
Happy #ValentinesDay to all who are working for #OpenAccess worldwide.
one of our members, together with researchers at for example @universiteitleiden and @universityofgroningen is organizing the Internation Conference on Chemical Structure, with a dedicated session "Open Science, Omics, and Natural Products" https://iccs-nl.org/
It covers Open Access, collaborative platforms (think open infrastructures), FAIR, data interoperability, and more.
#Update v10.0.1 is now live! Check out the post to see what's new, including updated @crossref publications & @datacite contents, and to see all the updates from v10.0.0 and where to access the latest dataset. Link below,

The Times They Are a-Changin'...let's renew #introduction.
I am a French physics scholar involved in local & national academic politics.
After the bird death, I found a Fediverse home on https://fediscience.org, under the mammoth shadow: a friendly, open and inclusive one.
Despite the risks, I am open to a Bluesky bridge.
Toots in French & English in the following fields: #OpenScience, #OpenInfrastructure, #fairdata, #foss, #ResearchAssessment and #ResearchIntegrity.
My toots lifetime is six months.
Calling all #Metadata enthusiasts! We're hosting a #Metadata Sprint event in April 2025 to bring together #librarians, #scientists, #coders, and #openinfrastructure enthusiasts. Pitch ideas, join projects, and co-create with our #RESTAPI and metadata. Limited spots—register your interest today for Crossref Metadata Sprint 2025: https://www.crossref.org/events/api-sprint/!
If you work with research outputs and metadata, DOIs are everywhere. For programmers working with scholarly metadata, there are a few things about DOIs to be aware of.
Here are some "Falsehoods Programmers believe about DOIs".

From World Bank annual meeting to ICTP, @investinopen is on the move! 
Thrilled to be with colleagues from ICTP, WACREN, WASCAL Climate, AfriGEO, GÉANT and researchers from countries in West and Central Africa to explore climate data infrastructure needs and next steps, especially in light of the investments by the European Commission via the Africa Connect program.
Best way to spend #oaweek in my book!
