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! 🧪 >
Empowering science communities with open, democratic, researcher-owned infrastructure.
We’re building communities and tech for publishing, curating, sharing, and discussing research online using ATProto and other decentralized protocols.

crate.social — publish structured records to your ATProto PDS
Crate is a custom-lexicon publishing service for ATProto. Define your record types, import from anywhere, query from everywhere.
The Drain of Scientific Publishing
The domination of scientific publishing in the Global North by major commercial publishers is harmful to science. We need the most powerful members of the research community, funders, governments and Universities, to lead the drive to re-communalise publishing to serve science not the market.
Super cool! Imagining how something like this could be used for @atproto.science "journal" publishing
Standard Reader
New Feature: Collections on Standard Reader. Curate articles from across the network into magazine editions. Include your editorial intro, notes on each piece, a closing statement and a theme. Publish as a series readers can follow. Tell a story. Check out the first one 👇
Great post! There is a clear parallel to how the @atproto.science ecosystem can disrupt the extractive science publishing industry & bring on millions of researchers with a new cooperative research stack. The system is ripe for disruption - see also @edhagen.net's post in the thread linked below >

Who wants to make money in the Atmosphere? 🙋♂️
We're thinking about publishing a compendium of #ATScience projects submitted to the workshop (incl abstracts, preprints and published works) - @aaronstevenwhite.io could @chive.pub potentially support that use case?
Great 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-desi…
Every post, like, and blog entry on atproto sits in your Personal Data Server (PDS) as structured data you own, which means building experiences that are extremely customized to you has never been easier. atproto + AI is incredibly powerful! #atproto

pckt.blogWish there was a better academic publishing system? Bluesky and its underlying ATProto technology, along with services like @chive.pub and the broader @atproto.science ecosystem, could do the job. #AcademicSky 🧪 leaflet.pub/2f431faf-c125-4d34-ac52-e41a2…
Each academic paper should have its own Bluesky account

Chive
We're ramping up our alpha, and we'd love for you to join at chive.pub! Since we launched back in January, we've been adding a ton of fun features; and to introduce them, we're going to be doing a series of deep dives over the next couple weeks on chive.leaflet.pub.
Self-hosting your own atproto infrastructure is very much attainable and after going through the process, I wanted to do a little series of write ups on how to go about it. Starting with the PDS! jola.dev/posts/self-hosting-your-pds
Self-hosting your PDS
jola.devAfter reading about ATProto stuff this morning I realised that one possible future for science publishing, within something like @atproto.science, is that every scientist becomes their own journal. The key realisation is that a paper published to my own PDS can be published in many journals.
