"In thinking about the future of community, [Erin Kissane] said that hearing people talk in the Science Track at the ATmosphere Conf really inspired her about the future of online community. “So much of what I’d hoped to see within a year were things that people were actually building but for their labs or for their colleagues.” "
OSF Changes: A Note to Users
The Center for Open Science announced a significant change to the Open Science Framework (OSF). This post shares what led to the change, implications, and what's next.

A budding discipline around how science gets read and judged - Aris
Scholarly publishing spent thirty years arguing about access. It has barely begun arguing about what readers do with the paper once they have it. At Aris we call that second argument scholarly interface design. Mike Morrison's community calls it ScienceUX. Either way it is becoming a field, and here is why it is worth your attention.

Many osf.io features could be built on #atproto: your project repos would be hosted on your PDS (eg your bluesky acct). Institutions could host PDSs, distributing costs. Every record would have a unique id (analogous to a doi). Multiple apps could access the records in multiple ways @atproto.science

Over the next several months, we will phase out some popular OSF features. These changes do not affect current public content, which remains safe and accessible. We have prepared support material to help users adapt. I am very sorry for the disruption to your work. Please read this post for details.

1/ Scholarly publishing spent thirty years arguing about access. It has barely started arguing about what readers do with the paper once they have it. That second argument is turning into a field, forming around how science gets read and judged. Here is the map as I see it: aris.pub/blog/scholarly-interface-desi…
