MIT leaders describe the experience of not renewing its #Elsevier journal contract as overwhelmingly positive. https://sparcopen.org/our-work/big-deal-knowledge-base/unbundling-profiles/mit-libraries/

The http://openscience.network project is more than a #federated digital space. It's a network to collectively discover, produce and participate to the most relevant #openscience discussions on the fediverse and beyond.

In the public homepage, the editorial team pins posts for anyone to read - as an alternative to the most recent activities (often meaningless to the general audience )

Imagine every university, collective and lab owning their federated digital space and radically transforming their usual social networking presence in powerful ways:

- Curate and organize discussions in topics, moving beyond feeds and toward structured journals composed of federated discussions and links

- Discover and read papers directly from the scientist social profile

- Collaborate on new ideas in the open, instead of being siloed inside centralized platforms, publish papers from the fediverse

And this is only the beginning! Support us building the next infrastructure for open science!
