New evidence in long-running debate about whether free-to-read research articles have increased reach.

Our @COKIproject article 'Open access research outputs receive more diverse citations' has been published in @Scientometrics
Summary: OA = greater diversity* in researchers citing the research. *countries, regions & disciplines.

Excited with the amount of interest shown for this preprint and am eager to hear feedbacks.

Just to add, in support of open data and reproducibility, we have also made the full data process transparent through GitHub and Zenodo: https://t.co/168Hs72qtQ

@COKIproject @CK_Karl_Huang Karl asked the question, not is #openaccess associated with more citations, but is it associated with more *diverse* citations.

The answer is yes, and it seems pretty robust. We think this is pretty solid evidence in support of the basic claim of OA. More people access it.

A concerning article on penguins and climate change: "Half of all living penguin species are endangered or vulnerable, and the scientists say their slow evolutionary rates and niche lifestyles could send penguins towards a dead end."

Wearing my @ZoosVictoria Bubbles not Balloons t-shirt in Antarctica with @HomewardBound16 ! While it looks pristine, there are microplastics even here affecting the ecosystem. See below for our new paper on how to help 💙

A cure is possible. The researchers are calling for urgent global, measurable & time-bound reduction & elimination targets for plastic pollution, & a global effort similar to the Antarctic Treaty.

Masks🧤🥤 and plastic bottles.
Protecting ourselves from #COVID19 infection has exacerbated single-use plastic pollution, led to a global plastic crisis & a major threat facing humans & wildlife, 8 #TeamHB4 and #TeamHB5 researchers have found. 🧵

[Bec Handcock @BecHandcock]

Masks & gloves disposed during COVID19 have led to a global plastic crisis - threatening humans, environment & wildlife. Seeing plastics in Antarctica prompted a group of #WomenInScience to write a paper showing that a global solution is possible, similar to the Antarctic Treaty
