‪@rouhiroo.bsky.social‬: Indeed, monitoring and/or assessing in ways more sensitive to context and to the social contributions of research requires more time and expertise... so it is more resource intensive. But the (hidden) costs of science NOT addressing societal issues... aren't they gigantic?

@ismaelrafols.bsky.social we're seeing a change in how we understand #OPenScience to move beyond just access to outputs. It has to be about open CONNECTIONS leading to new outcomes. Monitoring outputs is important but narratives around connections/processes will be vital. #OSMonitoring2025

When moderators shut down discussion -- even if it's 🌶️ -- they should be conscious of their positionally v. ?-er. When a posh, white British member of the establishment shuts down a POC -- it's a bad look. You care about equity? Walk the walk. Very disappointed #metascience2025 #metascience25

Per a què serveix llegir Rodoreda (o altres clàssics)? Per no haver de dir "sold out" per tot venut o entrades esgotades. O per no dir "retail" per (venda) al detall. L'abús de manlleus sol denotar poc hàbit lector, especialment en la pròpia llengua.

While folks argue about which wealthy country is going to benefit most from the global LLM race... @ismaelrafols.bsky.social makes a case for making marginalised research topics visible, and the need for a multiple-perspective science observatory katinamagazine.org/content/arti... #metasciece

The Case for Diversity and Inclusion in Research Information
Science is largely conducted in alignment with the interests of rich countries and people. If we really want science to be a public good, it needs to become more pluralistic.
