On 20260917 @utrechtuniversity.bsky.social Utrecht University published its new Open Access policy 2026-2030: doi.org/10.5281/zeno.... It widens and deepens the scope, with all publication types in scope and addressing topics like knowledge equity and governance & ownership.
Screenshot from cover of the new Utrecht University Open Access Policy 2026-2030, with the university logo, the title and an orange open access icon on top of an arrow pointing from 2026 to 2030.

Recommended reading for all who care about universities and their role in society. Yesterday Iris Lechner defended her PhD thesis on the epistemic responsibilities of universities in a sparkling discussion with her opponents. PhD thesis is available at: bit.ly/45EDkNz @wcrifoundation.bsky.social

📣 Sorbonne Université quitte le classement international des universités du Times Higher Education ! 🎓 Plus qu'une démarche symbolique, ce retrait s’inscrit dans une stratégie plus vaste visant à promouvoir la #scienceouverte et à repenser la manière dont la recherche est évaluée.

Sorbonne Université décide de quitter le classement international des universités du Times Higher Education (THE World University Rankings)
Sorbonne Université annonce son retrait du classement des universités proposé par le Times Higher Education à partir de 2026. Cette décision s'inscrit dans une démarche plus large de promotion de la science ouverte et de réforme de l'évaluation de la recherche, conformément aux engagements pris par l'université dans le cadre de l'Accord COARA et de la Déclaration de Barcelone. Sorbonne Université privilégie ainsi les bases de données ouvertes et transparentes pour évaluer ses performances académiques.

Citing openness and validity issues, Sorbonne University in France decides to no longer supply data to the THE-ranking and thus get delisted. This is 4th major European university to take this step, after Utrecht, Zürich and Lorraine. #universityrankings www.sorbonne-universite.fr/en/news/sorb...

Utrecht University Library will not renew their Web of Science license. Access to this database with closed, proprietary data ends in 2026. www.uu.nl/en/news/acce.... Step by step we foster a science system with open metadata. We committed to that by signing the @barcelonadori.bsky.social
Access to Web of Science will end on 1 January 2026

The University Library has decided not to renew its licence for access to the Web of Science citation database (including Journal Citation Reports). This means that, as of 1 January 2026, UU staff, UMC Utrecht staff and UU students will no longer have access to Web of Science and Journal Citation Reports.  

Why are we discontinuing Web of Science, including the Journal Citation Reports?

We need to take care, collectively, not to allow a few dominant actors to impose social, political and economic conditions in which this process of meaning-making is captured for their benefit. 2/2

Thanks for the report on what was a troubling moment. For me the lesson was that the Metascience ‘discourse coalition’ absolutely has to question/critique the shifting power dynamics as more private organisations enter the open science space. And associated questions of trust. 1/2

For publication metadata nerds: viz of the generation of various metadata and their flow through the scholarly publishing system. The link goes to the online version that is fully animated, and has additional versions. Wonder if you think this is useful. docs.google.com/presentation...

Science, researchers and research communities increasingly need to be resilient to threats and actual incursions relating to budget, academic freedom, safety in the public arena, science databases and infrastructures and more. We created this framework to inspire communities in their resilience.
A visualization of resilience strategies connecting prevention to potential threats, protection to actual threats, resistance to encounters/attacks, withstanding to incursions and repair to destruction. For the prevention strategy we suggest mutual interest and agreements/contracts. For protection we suggest (double) walls and sovereignty/control. For resistance we suggest action/fighting back and in/external solidarity. For withstanding we suggest elasticity and redundancy. For repair we suggest jugaad (=hindi for 'make do') and resources. The are generic strategies that need to be customised to specific contexts and threats.

It pains me to say this, but if you are not a US citizen, you should not attend scientific conferences in the US, visit US institutions, or otherwise travel to our country. Right now it's not worth the risk. Hopefully that will change. If it doesn't, science in the US is sunk anyway.

1. It's Fustilarian Friday and today's drop is the "Restoring Gold Standard Science" executive order. My read is that this is designed to (1) protect far-fringe figures such as the antvaxxers now heading our health agencies, and (2) kneecap efforts to use scientific evidence in regulatory policy.

Here the Administration lays the groundwork for weaponization of scientific principles to justify rollback of science-based policy actions. This isn't just hypothetical, its what the first-term Trump Administration and members of Congress have done for years. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

The Trump administration just dropped an executive order, "Restoring Gold Standard Science" and there's lots to unpack. This EO reveals more about how the Administration will approach scientific integrity and science in regulatory contexts. Some initial thoughts. 🧵 www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...

Journal of Catastrophe Risk & Resilience @journalcrr.bsky.social · 14/02/2025
Science doesn't disappear - but when misinformation spreads and evidence is buried, the risks only grow. #JCRR is the first #DiamondOpenAccess journal dedicated to #CatastropheResearch. A platform for experts to share knowledge without political or corporate interference: journalofcrr.com
Oliver Wing, Editor in Chief: "Climate denial. Data distortion. Politically motivated disinformation. In a world where bad actors manipulate facts for profit and power, controlling access to knowledge is a dangerous game. When research on disasters, climate risks, and resilience is locked behind paywalls, we don't just limit access - we enable falsehoods to flourish."  "Diamond open access, as championed by the Journal of Catastrophe Risk and Resilience, isn't just about free articles, it's about defending science. It ensures that peer-reviewed, evidence-based research remains in the hands of scientists, policymakers, and the public, not buried behind corporate interests or subscription fees."  "The fight against misinformation starts with radical transparency. If we want a world where decisions are based on facts - not agendas - we must break down the barriers to knowledge. The cost of inaction? A future dictated by those who shout the loudest, not those who know the most."

Utrecht University in the Netherlands has withdrawn itself from the World University Ranking provided by Times Higher Education by not sending that company data anymore. As this has generated quite some reactions - praise, questions, some doubts, I want to provide some context. Hence this thread 1/n
