🚀 Our first geo map is live! 🌍 The map enables you to explore aquatic mesocosm facilities. It gives you an overview of available facilities and lets you filter by research topics, controlled parameters, equipment and more. See the geo map in action ▶️ mesocosm.org/facilities/ #openscience

A searchable geo map shows research facilities and their related metadata, such as research topics, facility description, grand challenges.

New year, new connections ✨ We warmly welcome the University College of Teacher Education Vienna (PH Wien) as a supporting member! PH Wien is the first university college of teacher education in Austria to support Open Knowledge Maps. Full post ▶️ openknowledgemaps.org/news/2026/02... #OpenScience

A statement from Renate Pfann, Head of Library, University College of Teacher Education Vienna: "We strongly believe that open science is essential to ensure that research knowledge is adequately shared as the public good it ought to be. Moreover, visualizing search results the way Open Knowledge Maps does, allows researchers and the wider public to explore scientific outputs more intuitively and reveal connections between topics. We are very glad to support Open Knowledge Maps in making open science more accessible, transparent, and impactful."

❓Do you know what Europe’s fifth freedom is? ❗The free movement of research, innovation & knowledge. This proposed freedom was at the heart of the ERA Symposium 2025, which featured European Commissioner Ekaterina Zaharieva and Austrian Ministers Eva-Maria Holzleitner and Peter Hanke.

Open Knowledge Maps founder and chairman Peter Kraker stands smiling beside an Open Knowledge Maps poster at the ERA Symposium 2025. The poster displays the OKMaps mission, visual discovery workflow, and illustrations of people interacting with knowledge maps.

📈 Better data, better discovery Our PubMed integration now uses Crossref citations for more accurate research overviews. Citations determine the scale of both research areas and documents on our PubMed maps. Explore the update 👉 openknowledgemaps.org/pubmed #OpenScience @crossref.bsky.social

A light teal background with soft, semi-transparent circular shapes. In the center, bold white text reads “Better data, better discovery (:”. Above the text is a small pink robot, which exchanges the number 8 with the number 23 next to quotation marks, representing the number of citations.

🚀 Introducing VisConnect - our new AI-powered service for responsible research assessment. Developed with @ituaustria.bsky.social, VisConnect delivers rich, visual researcher profiles. Check out the announcement & a live example map: openknowledgemaps.org/news/2025/07... #OpenScience #DORA #CoARA

Illustration of the VisConnect service by Open Knowledge Maps. On the left, a visual map shows a researcher’s work organised by topic, with a robot icon symbolising AI assistance. On the right, key features are highlighted: a topical overview of key themes, scaling by impact metrics like citations and social media mentions, a structured researcher biography with career highlights, and a configurable overview of traditional and alternative metrics. The image illustrates how VisConnect combines visualisation and analytics for research assessment.
