AI presents a fundamental threat to our ability to use polls to assess public opinion. Bad actors who are able to infiltrate panels can flip close election polls for less than the cost of a Starbucks coffee. Models will also infer and confirm hypotheses in experiments. Current quality checks fail

Some datasets abroad are now at risk of deletion or manipulation. That can hit research here, too.

Make your data citable 📊
Your data deserve more than living forever in a forgotten folder.
Publish it in bonndata.uni-bonn.de and get a DOI — so others can reuse (and cite!) your work.
Sharing = visibility = impact. 🚀

"It is arguably the largest science crisis of all time."

The #StockholmDeclaration urges reform: return publishing to academia, reward quality, detect fraud, protect integrity.

You can tell a lot about a project by its filenames… and final_reallyFINAL.xlsx tells us everything 😅
Instead: Use clear, consistent names with version numbers

#OAWeek2025 asked: Who owns our knowledge?
In Germany, this question connects to the strategy by the Allianz der Wissenschaftsorganisationen, calling for community-led OA infrastructures, transparent funding, and digital sovereignty.

As a researcher, you do it all: teach, publish, apply for funding. Yet when trying to publish openly, the door often stays closed because of high costs, limited funds, and prestige bias. That’s why the University of Bonn supports researchers in overcoming these barriers to #OpenAccess.
An illustration in blue and yellow tones shows a Black woman researcher standing in front of a large closed door labeled “Open Access.” She holds a stack of papers and looks thoughtful. In front of the door are several obstacles labeled with challenges such as “High article processing charge,” “I have no funding to cover article processing fees,” and “There are no rewards for publishing OA.” The image symbolizes the barriers researchers face when trying to publish Open Access.

80% of Nobel discoveries come from just 5 countries.
If science were truly open, maybe genius would look more global. 🌍

𝟓 biggest RDM mistakes ➡ how to avoid them @unibonn.bsky.social
1️⃣ Collect data with no plan 💣 use our DMP guide
2️⃣ Store stuff on Dropbox 🤢 use Sciebo
3️⃣ Write local code 💻 use GitLab/Jupyter4Research
4️⃣ No documentation 🗒️ use README template as a guide
5️⃣ Share data as supplemt to paper 📂 use bonndata

Halfway through your project, you can’t find the study data, five different files all claim to be final_version.xlsx, nobody remembers what the variable names mean, and the notes explaining them are scattered across three email threads. Now the funder asks for your data management strategy. Oops 👇

Did you know? 3 myths about OA … busted!
❌ “I can’t publish OA without funds.” ✅ Funders cover costs, waivers exist, Diamond OA is free.
❌ “OA isn’t peer-reviewed.” ✅ Same standards as subscription publishing.
❌ “OA isn’t copyrighted.” ✅ Authors keep rights, licenses ensure attribution.
