Excited to see this campaign go live!

I've been wanting to follow up our initial #OpenAccess campaigns on FOK for some time now, so was super excited to be approached about hosting this campaign.

Kudos to @Ali_AlHoorie for kicking it off, may many others follow his lead 🙏📈🌎

[Brisbane Open Research Network @BrisOpenRes]

@projectFOK Great initiative! Perhaps our fellow local #OpenScience networks can help spread the word?

Announcing our latest campaign, the Postprint Pledge for Linguistics!🥳

Sharing author accepted manuscripts is the biggest and simplest step anyone can take toward #OpenScience, yet it remains rare in #lingustics #research. Help us normalise it today!🙏

Thrilled that my local activist Greens Councillor
@jonathan_sri has offered to present this highly relevant keynote at our new #openscience festival, Open Heart + Mind (OHM):

"Power hierarchies, Participatory Democracy and Revolutionary Social Change"

New blog post! https://t.co/km94VJpZdU

This post focuses on what I think is the fundamental obstacle to progress in academia -- our obsession with high-impact journals -- and why I think previous models have all failed to address this problem sufficiently.

Feedback welcome!

[Cooper Smout @DrCooperSmout]

New blog post describing problems with the current #AcademicPublishing system and pointing to some of the proposed solutions, e.g., post-publication peer review (@PREreview_, @PeerCommunityIn) and modular publishing (@libscie, @octopus).

My new blog post, outlining a radically open publishing model that I think could help disrupt the journal hierarchy (/JIF) and return control to researchers.

Excited to finally get these ideas out there after YEARS of thinking about them!🚀

Join us 2pm this Monday for the first meeting of UQ-MORE: the UQ Metascience and Open REsearch meetup (Duhig Tower, 217)! 🎉

We've arranged a round of lightning talks to kick things off 🚀 (https://t.co/to8452D7kz)

(please let @CoopSmout/@bibiothecarius know if joining ✅)

[Brisbane Open Research Network @BrisOpenRes]

Some of our UQ-based members (@CoopSmout, @bibiothecarius, Stéphane Guillou) are starting a new monthly open/meta-research meetup on UQ campus. Our goal is to create a safe, inclusive, supportive space to learn about big-picture issues in research and possible solutions 👩‍🔬🌎

@eLife is looking for more people to join their Innovation Sprint 4-5 October. Apply by 12 Sept to help build the scholarly communication tools of tomorrow!

[yo yehudi stays away from humans! 🏳️‍🌈 @yoyehudi]

I'm running a study following open source/open science projects over time, to see if we can identify common elements amongst the more sustainable projects, using GitHub-based metrics. Visit https://t.co/Sos5BlPOvE to start. ~15 minutes to complete + 2 followups in 6 & 12 months

[Cooper Smout @DrCooperSmout]

Hey UQ-fam, let us know if you're interested in joining this -- should be a fun opportunity to all learn and grow as researchers together :)

[Brisbane Open Research Network @BrisOpenRes]

Our first meeting will be a 'soft-launch' over coffee/tea this Monday 6th @3pm, with the goal of meeting would-be-regulars and designing something that works for all of us.

Location: Somewhere on UQ campus. Please contact @CoopSmout/@bibiothecarius for deets 🙏

Current idea is to alternate between @ReproducibiliT journal club and #openscience talks each month, but open to options and keen to hear from anyone who would like attend on a regular basis.

No experience required.
All fields/backgrounds/peoples welcome.
