@lukaswallrich.bsky.social is doing a hands-on: Doing an AI-led reproduction and comparing models. Here is a random example from his slights about how agents perform on the "deadly femal hurricanes" study (10.1073/pnas.1402786111).

Save big now? After €20,000 were paid for one open access book (from tax money), the publisher hides the free openly accessible copy on their website, allowing people to pay another few hundred euros for what is already free. Shame on you @routledgebooks.bsky.social. from the Pühringer #OAdays talk

Very interesting discussions are happening at @forrt.bsky.social's AI in meta-science conference. For example: You can now produce a paper every hour. Will the literature be entirely unusable without another layer of AI or will there be a bifurcation for low- vs high-effort papers? Can PRC work?

After having worked with the OSF for one decade, I have 85 projects (166 components in total) with 24 (27%) private. I have a bit of time left, checking and switching the 24 projects to public, but here is what I am checking for the private projects.

Making OSF Projects Public Checklist

Sharing rights: We have the rights to publish all files in the project.

Anonymity: The data it contains (e.g. research data) does not include identifying information (e.g. names, email addresses, IP addresses).

Sub-components: If the project has sub-components, they have their own independent visibility setting on OSF and may need to be switched separately.

Lukas Röseler @aufdroeseler.bsky.social · 12/08/2026

Many of us are now learning that research infrastructure is not persistent. Here is a checklist of what I consider when choosing a service. This applies to data repositories, preprint servers, but also to academic journals or research software.

A graphic titled "Service Choice Checklist" with the subtitle "What should I consider before using a service for research infrastructure?"

The graphic lists five checklist items:

Non-commercial: If it is for-profit and free, then you are the product (see stoptrackingscience)

Open source & Licenses: It may allow others to review the code, make it interoperable, or to host the service

Disciplinary scope: Some or for all disciplines and some cover specific fields

Affiliation requirements: Institutional repositories require you to be affiliated with the institution

Long-term commitment: Has the provider committed to providing the service for the next years? How is it funded?

A brave and tough call to make. It's hard to overstate how influential OSF has been on science in the past ~15 years. It's been such a staple that you'd almost forget how much cost, time, and effort it must be to keep going. Kudos to the OSF team for everything they've done.
