Reinventing Discovery: The New Era of Networked Science
In Reinventing Discovery, Michael Nielsen argues that w…

supercritical | shishyko!
Supercritical is a newsletter about what happens when systems produce faster than they can coordinate. AI is making the generation of knowledge abundant, but generation was never the whole system. Validation, dissemination, credit, trust: these were bundled into institutions designed for scarcity, and this legacy architecture is now the primary bottleneck. If we fail to redesign it, progress will be sawtooth rather than smooth. Using the crisis in modern science as an early warning, this newsletter imagines the capabilities and infrastructure that come next, including provenance, trust-graded disclosure, and new protocols of coordination.
In an era where research evaluation methods are evolving, the Research Contribution Claim Network makes trustworthy tracking of non-traditional research output easy!
In this whitepaper, Patrick Hochstenbach (Ghent University Library), Thomas van Himbergen (SURF), Laurents Sesink (SURF) and Herbert Van de Sompel (DANS) introduce the...

Mastodon pilot for research and education
SURF and Universities of the Netherlands are jointly exploring Mastodon as an open source platform for education and research in the Netherlands.

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.
Sensors, not just bookmarks [Patterns of Sensemaking #1] - Cosmik Labs
First of a new series on sensemaking patterns we're observing on Semble
Why we’re expanding the openRxiv Labs Curvenote Reader experiment
Read on for early results and what we’ll be looking at in the next phase.
I’ve got a @semble.so Collection of #AI tools I’ve come across specifically for academic research. Most of these Ive tried and found them user-friendly-ish. If you use something not on the list, please share it :) semble.so/profile/rafmbatista.bsky.soci…
AI Tools for Academic Research (by Rafael M Batista) — Semble
semble.soShipped a new thing on @airglow.run: social graph sync 🔄 Pick the apps you use (Bluesky, @tangled.org, @sifa.id, @grain.social, @semble.so), turn it on, and your follows stay identical everywhere. Follow someone on one app, you follow them on the others too
h/t @semble.so discovery trail via @zafarali.me
I tell you, the match between #atproto and open academic publishing is made in heaven. If we have learned anything from the for-profit-publishing, AI slop, and Twitter/X polycrisis, the future of academic publishing is decentralized eprints on #atproto, an it may well begin right here.
Chive
Alongside a bunch of bug fixes, we've got a few new features on chive.pub we're excited about. Most of them involve connecting a paper to other things that relate to it on the Atmosphere and beyond.
rumor has it, this transform is already live in an unofficial @semble.so mcp server (free for MCP clients to use!) tangled.org/zzstoatzz.io/semble#mcp-serve…
Wanted to take a peek at @semble.so and didn't knew where to start. I built this as a static explorer of all the links in there. sites.wisp.place/davidgasquez.com/semble-links… Love AT Protocol for letting me build the UI I want! 😍
