@mayel@fedihood.social seems so 😊
Open Science
Open Science produced on the Open Web
The current academic publishing system faces critical challenges, including restricted access, high costs, lack of transparency in peer review processes, and reliance on closed, proprietary, and outdated technologies.
On the one hand, akin to the large internet platforms, multinational monopolistic publishing corporations use surveillance technologies to exploit researchers’ user data. On the other hand, the huge sums these corporations are extracting from scholarly institutions for the privilege of publishing and/or accessing knowledge means that researchers experience a dearth of resources and infrastructure for collecting, archiving and making digital research data accessible.
This perpetuates a system where knowledge is inaccessible, hindering scientific progress, collaboration and dissemination.
The Open Science Network tackles these challenges by providing a decentralised, open-source digital space dedicated to scientific collaboration, knowledge dissemination, peer-review and production.
Proposed features
- Sign in with ORCID
- Automatically import and discover publications from user profile or through search
- Collaboratively draft, review & publish papers
- Create & Join federated Groups and Topics
- Labelling misleading content
Community driven
We're committed to designing and developing open science tools through continuous iteration alongside the involved communities. We have identified four initial focal topics to focus on as pilot programs, exploring various domains of open science — production, sharing, discussion, and peer review.
Participants in each pilot will ensure the digital space meets their specific needs and priorities. Are you interested in participating in one of the pilots? Please contact us at team@openscience.network

In case you missed it: Announcing Bonfire for communities: groups and tools to organise together
We're shifting our centre of gravity: from social features to community tools.
Bonfire was never meant to be one more feed that grabs your attention. Today it takes the shape we've been building toward: Bonfire for communities. A tool for groups that need to organise together, not just post at each other. Shipping today: groups and topics, events, shared organisation profiles, embeddable federated comments, customisable themes, and a first set of governance tools. It comes as a ready-to-use space with everything included, to then be reshaped block by block: add what's missing, swap or fork what almost fits, switch off what you don't need.

@lebout2canap@mastodon.tedomum.net This is a post in a federated group 😊 So the only way Mastodon can currently post to the group is by including it in @ mentions...

Testing federated groups
Hello world!
@evan@cosocial.ca @liaizon@social.wake.st @benpate@mastodon.social we did so last year so I'll leave it to you! 😊
@milan@social.tchncs.de no worries, I can send you the logs of the request and response if it helps
@milan@social.tchncs.de Hi, you may want to check the Anubis settings on tube.tchncs.de as while doing some interop testing with Bonfire we noticed it blocking some Follow activities we POSTed to the inbox... BTW thanks for hosting our channel! 😊
Finally saving the time to watch @_elena@mastodon.social documentary: The Illusionists elenarossini.com/portfolio/t...
@strypey@mastodon.nzoss.nz you might be interested in the recent integration we built: bonfirenetworks.org/ghost/
@DePemig@social.coop also it doesn't work anyway: theguardian.com/society/2026...
Finally getting around to "Folding Beijing" by Hao Jingfang #scifi

Codesigning OpenScience
What are some ideas here that other research communities could try?
@mayel I think
@Ethan had a good example about a network of PhD candidates from different universities and countries. Maybe he can provide mor details
@_elena@mastodon.social 10000000% agree
ora più che mai è fondamentale tenere a mente che la visione occidentale (e cristiana) non è l unico modo di raccontare il mondo e il suo futuro...
