If Sci Rep, MDPI, etc... cannot guarantee a meaningful peer review process, can we please just delist them already @clarivate.com ? Why is academic publishing treated as "the highest rigour" when indexing of scientific journals is done by saying "website seems legit, they even say they peer review."

Many interesting speakers, from sucessful diamond open access journals @openmindjournal.bsky.social and university press (Margreet Nieborg) to change advocates based on evidence-based science of science @hansonmark.bsky.social, and many more! An event supported by @opensciencenl.bsky.social.

Fundamentally, what we need is leadership. But we break with the chorus of most #OpenScience initiatives here and emphasize very strongly that this leadership must come from funders and institutions.

We researchers can support the battle, but we cannot lead the charge. Funders hold the cards.
