Most people still don't know: publishing in real scientific journals is usually free.
A new study shows how pseudo-journals in 🇮🇳 exploit researchers, offering "cheap" publications for just $25.

The authors of the #ResearchEvaluation study advise: carefully check open access models and journal fee policies. Education and critical thinking remain our main tools against academic fraud.

Oh wow that is bad!
On the up side: when submitting that as a paper to a journal, they will need to indicate that informed consent was given by the study participants. As they can't any such submission should not proceed.
At least as minimum standard for any social sciences journal. We do have clear ethic guidelines for that after all ...in theory apparently :(

The wait is over! 🎉 Acceptance emails for the 2025 Cohorts of Neuroscience, Climate Science, and AI/ML are out now.

Check your inbox to see if you’ve been offered a spot and make it official by 13 May! By joining the 2025 cohort, you’ll become part of a global network of curious minds, dive into cutting-edge learning, and unlock opportunities like the Impact Scholars Program after completing the Academy.

The Software Heritage project is looking for an "#OpenScience partnerships specialist" to expand Software Heritage’s integration in the research community.

"Your focus will be on managing partner onboarding, promoting software citation best practices (SWHIDs, BibLaTeX), and representing Software Heritage in key Open Science initiatives (EOSC, SciCodes)."

🌪️🌧️ Did you know major climate models like Community Earth System Model (CESM) often miss extreme events like the 2011 Texas drought? By boosting #CESM with high-resolution modeling, researchers Hsin I Chang, Yoshimitsu Chikamoto, & Christoforus Bayu Risanto show it’s possible to predict extreme #weather weeks in advance! See their dataset, software and article at doi.org/10.25422/azu.data.2382, doi.org/10.25422/azu.data.2382 & doi.org/10.1029/2023JD038765. Image: Stockcake

Continued thread

The panel will discuss:
✨Significant turning points in the evolution of #OpenScience.
✨Successes and setbacks in #OpenScience practices adoption.
✨How can we address the challenges ahead?
✨How do philosophical perspectives shape open science implementation?
✨Lessons learned from past efforts

🛠 Climate science needs sharp tools.
Check out ESMValTool, MESMER, benchmark datasets & more at #EGU25.

Predoi, Bauer, & Cohrs presenting powerful open-source tools, statistical methods, and new frameworks that make climate science more reproducible, transparent, and effective.

We’re very excited to welcome our new #CURIOSS member, Violaine Louvet!

We look forward to collaborating with Violaine and learning more about the fantastic work being undertaken at #University Grenoble Alpes.

"other efforts had mostly focused on English-language content and were locked behind paywalls or limited to a specific subfield of psychology. Our collection would thus serve as a valuable resource (...), bridging an accessibility gap for tools that are readily available in the West".
