The Peer Reviewers’ Openness Initiative asks reviewers to consider whether the paper they are reviewing is sufficiently open, and refuse to review articles that won’t allow access to underlying data.- Darren Boehning didn’t get funding for a BRCA1 research project, so he put the proposal on his blog ready for anyone else to pick up the work.
- A working paper by Open Access Network Austria recommends that by 2025 the entire research output of Austria should be open access.
- Cameron Neylon put a summary of his talk at OpenCon on his blog. Not what, not who, or how, but Why is Open?
- Erin McKiernan used a Shuttleworth grant to set up “Why Open Research?”, a site for researchers to find out more about the benefits of sharing their work. In a blog post, she explains the process, and how she got her dad to do the illustrations for the site! Illustration below is by John McKiernan.
