Exciting to see #grantIDs gradually seeping into funding acknowledgements at #OpenResearchEurope -- in this case for the Portuguese #FCT via its #SciPROJ portal, doi.org/10.54499/202... (Horizon Europe INCITE-DEM project *also* has a grantID, doi.org/10.3030/1010..., but this one doesn't feature)

So these are the positive and negative associations that researchers have of open science according to Zuzanna Zagrodzka orcid.org/0000-0002-86... Good to see growth in positive perceptions, but we're seeing the same objections around cost and career risk My take: That's what's stopping us #EORC25

It's just great to see unprompted publications by @UStrathclyde researchers like @rossbrisco.bsky.social in #DiamondOA venues, openjournals.ljmu.ac.uk/DesignTechno... At the same time, the technical shortcomings (no #DOI or #DoA?) are still rather evident

Pablo de Castro @pcastromartin.bsky.social · 16/12/2024
Hmmm. The comments on #CoARA may have proved too difficult to address. One would hope this may hint at the national-level research evaluation framework being reassessed, but it's probably easier to just withdraw the submission and continue as usual

Swiss national funder #SNSF signalled Nov 2023 they'd stop funding #OA for articles in #specialissues. Looking forward to some reporting on the impact (and for the policy to be perhaps replicated elsewhere) The (v complex) implementation technicalities would've been such a great topic for #OAW2024
