Is anyone aware of any survey or interview studies on qualitative researchers' attitudes towards (or perhaps even resistance to) #OpenScience? Many thanks! 🙏

Who do I know (ideally in the UK) who is working on making "open science" less about the science? Send me your heros in the open research in the arts and humanities please! 🎭 📖 🎨 ✨

Alaaf! 🥳 The carnival season traditionally opens at 11:11 on 11/11 in Cologne. The University campus is largely cordoned off to avoid rampage so I‘m working from home today and sweetening the revision of an article with some Muuzemändelcher!

Oxford and Harvard libraries now publishing their own diamond open access journals. Love it. ❤️

Paying hundreds of millions to big commercial publishers isn't the only way of supporting researchers to publish their research.

Awesome! Our new paper in #dhq has just been published!

The twist is that we perform a #qualitative #evaluation of the measures by relating each list […]

A 3-by-4 heatmap in tones of yellow, green and blue, showing matches for three measures (zeta, welch, LLR) and four subgenres (blanche, policier, scifi, sentimental). Best score in yellow is for zeta and sentimental (a perfect 50 out of 50), whereas the worst score is for LLR and policier (with just 21 matches).
