Over the past two decades, the open access movement has made significant progress in promoting the free accessibility and reusability of scholarly publications. About half of the publications from recent years are free to access and reuse. However, are accessibility and reusability sufficient for a well-functioning system of scholarly publishing?
The Liberate Science team recently wrapped up another workcycle, codenamed "Potato Smiles." We're taking a moment to recap what we have achieved and share our progress with you! 😊 If you're new to the workcycle series: We use workcycles to collectively prioritize our work, assign tasks, and self-organize until the next workcycle.
There's little reason to blindly trust organizations, especially in these times of mass inequality. We recognize that Liberate Science is new—we want to earn your trust as we work on projects like Hypergraph. Supporting memberships are about building community and building trust. One way we aim to build trust is by reinforcing that we won't sell out.
Dass Hochschulen eigene Forschungsinformationssysteme nutzen, ist im Jahr 2020 für viele nichts Neues. Als sich allerdings acht hessische Hochschulen 2013 zu einem Verbund zusammenschlossen, um gemeinsam diese Informationssysteme einzurichten, war dies (noch) keine Selbstverständlichkeit.
Lennart Stoy Data is the new oil. This mantra has long made it past tech entrepreneurs and policy wonks into the public debate. But the perception of data as a competitive advantage in a geopolitical competition does not come without new challenges, in particular in a world where science and technology are increasingly in the cross hair of great power competition.
Why is it so difficult to think of new possible worlds? This is a question Marta Hejer and Wytske Versteeg ask in a recent paper for Territory, Politics, Governance . It is a question I ask myself almost every day.
Julia T Scho The pandemic has been a challenge for almost everybody. Cancelled conferences, field trips, experiments, suspended research, travel and visa restrictions, bad job prospects and no childcare, are just some of the problems academics have faced since March. While the virus highlighted
Every now and then we feature work that is shared in Hypergraph. You can choose to read it here or open it in Hypergraph (download Hypergraph here).

The Digital Object Identifier (DOI) system is like a digital address book: One DOI name resolves to information on the location of the content.
Die Hochschule Weihenstephan-Triesdorf (HSWT) hat 2011 ein zentrales Forschungsmanagement eingeführt. In diesem Zuge wurde entschieden, die Rahmeninformationen zu Forschungsprojekten gesammelt in einer Datenbank zu erfassen. Zum damaligen Zeitpunkt gab es zahlreiche Excel-Listen in verschiedenen Verwaltungsabteilungen, die nicht konsistent waren.
The beta release of Hypergraph is here 🎉 If you want to dive in immediately, download Hypergraph (Beta) for Windows, macOS, or Linux. Hypergraph helps researchers reset research publishing, by publicly documenting research step by step, before the issues of after-the-fact articles even begin. Traditionally, articles are often written in hindsight, causing selective publication, p-hacking, and many other issues.
