I can't wait to share this bit of work in January!
It's been something I've wanted to do for ages now and it's finally underway.
Going to be featuring an in depth look @openrxiv.bsky.social (because they're wonderful and provide API access) and more!

If you're working to change academia or scholarly publishing then this is such a small yet impactful investment!
With 50+ hours of content about how great preprints are this is a vast resource. We've also recently started a YouTube channel to expand this even more (www.youtube.com/@rippling_id...)

Preprints in Motion is looking for funding/sponsorship!
We're at that point in the year where we need to secure running costs for 2026.
We've captured 50+ hours of ECRs discussing their cool new preprints!

We've mapped out what different levels of funding could do for us.
I know this is tiny change for some orgs out there but would mean an enormous amount to us 👀

My horoscope today is telling me that I should "do" collaboration.
So, let's put it to the test. I'll be sending some emails out but if you'd like to collaborate with me then please do reach out!

A lot of the discourse around the openrxiv announcement of experimenting with qed is quite surprising.
It's an experiment and it's not "peer review" it's more for author feedback. In that use case it doesn't have to be perfect or listened to. Authors can decide if it highlights a good gap and act

I'm not convinced that yet another declaration is really all that helpful but I do agree with the points.
I would much rather see more collaboration and synergy between all of the current efforts as that would actually lead to some change rather than yet more people coming up with similar ideas.

Newly released Stockholm Declaration recommends the following reforms to publishing:
1. Academia resumes control of publishing
2. Incentive systems to merit quality, not quantity
3. Independent fraud detection and prevention
4. Legislation and policies to protect science quality and integrity

NEW: Footage of a US citizen in Chicago being rammed then dragged from her car on her way to work.
Abducted, with no warrant, her family couldn’t find her for hours.
She was later released with NO CHARGE.
A DHS statement said she “violently resisted arrest, injuring two officers”.

Leadership is solving problems. The day soldiers stop bringing you their problems is the day you have stopped leading them. They have either lost confidence that you can help or concluded you do not care. Either case is a failure of leadership.
