💬 Latest thought piece in @force11@mastodon.world blog by Daniela Saderi & @csmarcum@sciences.social asks how we can ensure that scientific findings remain openly available as a public good and accessible for independent evaluation amid shifting political priorities and publishing models. Open community peer review distributes the power to participate in science, creating a more resilient scholarly communication ecosystem. 🔖 Read it and share your takes: https://doi.org/10.54900/6wy26-v4509 #OpenPeerReview #OpenScience #Preprints

Session 2 was all about identifying reviewable components from multiple stages of research, and associating them with different signals or evaluation functions.

⏩ Now, participants have selected five working sub-groups for deeper exploration through June. Stay tuned as ideas, insights, and approaches take shape.
