Something Big Happened in 1998
It is reasonable to accept that OSI founded Open Source with the Open Source Definition.
Banff 2025, Open Science Meeting — Continuous Science Foundation
We’ve got to a big idea—and now it’s time to get practical. CSF is looking for curious, committed individuals to help us tackle some of the toughest (and most exciting) questions around how to make Composable Science real.
OSTP Vision for Science is a ‘Golden Age’ for Corporations
"Science: A New Golden Age" tries to reframe the conversation away from the ongoing destruction of American science, writes Cole Donovan.

What is a framework? Understanding their purpose, value, development and use
Many frameworks exist across the sciences and science-policy interface, but it is not always clear how they are developed or can be applied. It is also often vague how new or existing frameworks are positioned in a theory of science to advance a specific theory or paradigm. This article examines these questions and positions the role of frameworks as integral but often vague scientific tools, highlighting benefits and critiques. While frameworks can be useful for synthesizing and communicating core concepts in a field, they often lack transparency in how they were developed and how they can be applied. Positioning frameworks within a theory of science can aid in knowing the purpose and value of framework use. This article provides a meta-framework for visualizing and engaging the four mediating processes for framework development and application: (1) empirical generalization, (2) theoretical fitting, (3) application, and (4) hypothesizing. Guiding points for scholars and policymakers using or developing frameworks in their research are provided in closing.
"experiments to be in the realm of search and discovery, enabling curation, trust signals, and other approaches that build on the modular elements of science" #modularscience #atscience Congrats to the whole @openrxiv.bsky.social team!! So exciting.
openRxiv
Introducing openRxiv Labs! 🔬 Growing from the strong foundation of bioRxiv & medRxiv, Labs is an experimental space for working with collaborators to push the boundaries of open scientific communication. 👉 Check it out and learn more: openrxiv.org/openrxiv-labs-launch/ #OpenScience #Preprints #Scicomm
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
Brian Nosek
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.
