ATProto's design philosophy is inherently suited for academic archives. In Japan, academic services are run by NII and JST, but they've fragmented into CiNii, J-GLOBAL, and researchmap. Data and accounts are siloed. Interface changes often make them harder to use.

Small codebase to explore and build helper tooling for ATProto research. Mostly for my own use.
Introducing ATProto Science - Cosmik Labs
Announcing atproto.science! #ATproto has huge potential for supporting new ways of doing research, so we started @atproto.science to help bring together researchers, build community, and explore what's possible when science meets cutting-edge open social network protocols! ๐งช >
What's the point of Bibliograph? โ Olamaelcu
Explaining why Bibliograph is being built and how it can benefit the ATProto ecosystem
So who's building multi-author publication infra on atproto? Do any @standard.site platforms support this?

I have a lot of feelings about the whole CSS-Tricks debacle. Here's me trying to be constructive about it. ericwbailey.website/published/css-tricks-could-beโฆ
I'm convinced that open social protocols like #atproto have a crucial role to play in the future of science. Excited to share MOSAIC - our best effort at articulating the thesis, why it matters, and how to build and fund it (in collab w/ @exgenesis.ingroup.social ) ๐งต

mosaic-program.orgGreat survey of the "scholarly interface design" frontier that also highlights the emerging role of the atproto.science and modular research ecosystems - @chive.pub @paperstarsorg.bsky.social @cosmik.network @semble.so @margin.at @discoursegraphs.bsky.social @curvenote.com and many more!

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-desiโฆ
I love that the design of atproto was in part inspired by big social Kafka and ScyllaDB server backends and @martin.kleppmann.com's Designing Data-Intensive Applications and the community immediately used it to implement thousands of apps with no backend lol
