Each person who signs up to ResearchEquals gets an email from us, asking them to tell us about their research. This extra barrier helps us moderate spam and slop before it happens. But it also has become a rewarding pathway to learn about whom we are serving. 😊💌 researchequals.com/signup

Thanks @danrdmnn.bsky.social 🙌 We encourage people to check out your "Seven Theses for a Diverse and Inclusive Research Data Ecosystem" doi.org/10.53962/jw8...

A testimonial by Dan Rudmann, rating ResearchEquals with five stars. The full testimonial reads:
Hi, I'm Dan Rudmann, a librarian at Utrecht University.
From where I sit in the university, we see how much labor in academia goes unrecognised or simply unseen. ResearchEquals provides a meaningful way for people to work out loud. This is crucial if we aim to have an honest conversation about what it takes to produce knowledge.

Our platform runs for roughly €25/day — and anyone can publish on it for free. The APC for a single paper could instead keep ResearchEquals online for months: Nature: €10,000 → ~400 days Scientific Data: €2,390 → ~96 days PLOS Biology: $5,500 → ~190 days DM us if your OA funds need more purpose 😉

I’ve been loving seeing so many feminist, interdisciplinary and decolonial perspectives in open research, and I’ve got some work in progress in this area which feels exciting 🩷 More of this please and less of the surveillance and “automated” science

I like my memes the way I like my science: open

Victoria and David Beckham meme, where Victoria stands for universities and David for researchers. Victoria says we care about open science. David says be honest. Victoria says we signed DORA and CoARA. David says and what do you evaluate us on? Victoria says number of papers, and David says thank you.

Writing isn’t about making yourself into a machine that produces text in the most efficient way. It involves fermenting ideas, taking diversions, letting things evolve, going for a walk and drinking tea. Maybe I can learn to enjoy & inhabit this process more by thinking about what it’s not. 2/2

We're being asked to provide feedback on types of statements that could be included in DOI metadata. Any additions/revisions you have that you'd like us to know about?

What statements?

It is not our intention to define or recommend what statements publishers use but the statements listed below have been identified as useful to our metadata community:

Acknowledgement: recognition of non-funding related contribution to research
Funding: who is funding research
Data availability: what data was used and under what terms it is available
Conflict of interest: disclosure of personal, financial, or professional relationships that could potentially influence research or authoring
Copyright: copyright or licensing statement
Ethics: many contain statements about ethics issues for example informed consent, ethics committee approval, use of animal research
AI use: capture how AI was used in research or authoring
Accessibility: accessibility considerations used in presenting information, such as color contrast in images or alternative text
