✨ Open Science changes how researchers and their outputs are evaluated.
For example, the Declaration on Research Assessment (DORA) is a global initiative advocating for research to be assessed on its own merits, not just on journal-based metrics like impact factor.

😬 As a result, publishers are creating their own platforms for researchers to share preprints, data, and materials.

Scientist Rebellion @scientistrebellion.bsky.social · Jul 8

🚨 Attention: Open Science can be commercialized
Many open science practices can be adopted through non-commercial platforms like the Open Science Framework (osf.io), which reduces the reliance on commercial publishers.

1️⃣ Open Science is a research approach that emphasizes transparency, accessibility, and collaboration.
It involves sharing research processes, data, and findings openly with the public and other researchers to promote reproducibility, innovation, and the dissemination of knowledge.

❓ What efforts to refocus the academic system away from profit towards life have been undertaken?

❗In a world facing the tyranny from oligarchs, we need science for the scientists and by the scientists. What we need is a peer-to-peer cost-free review process as well as distribution channels.
