How does open science hold up in times of crisis? @jeroenbosman & @Jeroenson explore this in a sharp post on Upstream: https://doi.org/10.54900/pqrcx-8d019
They outline threats, map types of resilience, and remind us: open science isn’t just at risk…it’s also part of the solution.
The time is now! Vertical interoperability between research tools: an essential enabler for the FAIRification of data New post on the @upstream@scicomm.xyz blog: https://doi.org/10.54900/8m9by-kfy03
New Post: Our community and tools rely on high-quality DOI metadata for building connections and obtaining efficiencies. However, the current model - where improvements to this metadata are limited to its creators or done within service-level silos - perpetuates a system of large-scale gaps, inefficiency, and disconnection. It doesn’t have to be this way!

Academia is undergoing a rapid transformation characterized by exponential growth of scholarly outputs - often termed the "firehose problem." In @csmarcum@sciences.social Christopher Steven Marcum’s new essay on the FORCE11 Upstream Blog, he explores the implications of the firehose problem and potential approaches to resolving it through reform of incentives and rewards for publishing. https://doi.org/10.54900/r8zwg-62003
