It's that time of year when the JIFs are out. Over-reliance on it fuels integrity risks like papermills & fraud. Everything is connected! Join us in shifting the focus from venue prestige to merit. Explore RRA resources & course: sfdora.org/reports/ & bit.ly/DORA-Intro-Course

I don't understand why such actions are being taken by science orgs. At @cos.io we cannot meet our mission to increase openness, integrity, and reproducibility of research WITHOUT improving Inclusion->offer respect and access Equity->adapt to people's needs Diversity->for everyone Fold on that? No

Really pleased to now be on BlueSky and looking forward to being able to move back to constructive discussions, as we used to be able to do on Twitter. Really great to see the acceleration of people now moving across to this platform.
