Outcomes Graph: A protocol for applied science coordination - DeepScience Ventures
In this article, we explain how our Outcomes Graph works, including how the functions of scientific knowledge shape the features we've developed and how we're using it to harness the collective intelligence of venture scientists.

What would it take for Diamond OA to evolve into a holistic, equitable, and data-rich scholarly ecosystem — one that meaningfully includes early-career researchers?
Research Project for ATProto Ecosystem Brand and User Experience Needs
Hello atproto builders — I’m a long time lurker and first time forum poster. I met some of you at Atmosphere conf in March, but for the most part have been thinking and talking about how I might get involved and support what’s happening here, rather than diving in. It’s been deeply heartening over the last couple years to see this community emerge and all the work so many of you have put in to make Atmosphere conf and all the other great atproto meetups and conferences—and community contribution...

Philanthropy 2.0: What the Evolution of For-Profit Investment Tells Us About the Future of Giving
Gaps in philanthropic funding for era-defining science and discovery demand a new approach. In this piece, we look at how learning from venture capital is a game changer for catalytic philanthropy.

Center for Open Science
At the Center for Open Science, our mission is to increase openness, integrity, and reproducibility of scholarly research. Promoting these practices within the research funding and publishing communities accelerates scientific progress

The Research Nexus vision for a more connected scholarly community
Crossref envisions “a rich and reusable open network of relationships connecting research organizations, people, things, and actions; a scholarly record that the global community can build on forever, for the benefit of society”. This Research Nexus expands on the importance of research objects being persistently and uniquely identified. The scholarly community has an established practice of connecting things such as citations to others’ work and it is increasingly critical to identify relationships beyond citations, bringing together published work, unpublished work, institutions, individuals, and identifying the actions that they take e.g., funding, publishing, creating, modifying, citing, and sharing. The Research Nexus brings together metadata and relationships to build a joined-up picture of the scholarly ecosystem and helps everyone identify these relationships and how they change through time. This vision is possible if all parts of the scholarly ecosystem (and beyond) work together, including various scholarly infrastructure organizations.

Today we're launching the Open Source for Science Fund, a new multi-donor philanthropic fund by Renaissance Philanthropy, seeded by @biohub.org and @wellcometrust.bsky.social, with support from @kavlifoundation.org and @researchsoftware.bsky.social 🧵 os4science.org/news/open-source-for-science-…
Open Source for Science Fund Launches to Power AI-Driven Discovery
os4science.organother good nugget from #ATmosphere conf delivered by @eclecticcapital.bsky.social: ATProtocol could offer "open enough to scale, closed enough to mean something" ‘the successful outcomes will look more like "guilds" and "collectives" than traditional startups’
ATmosphereConf 2026
atmosphereconf.org@danabra.mov nerdsniped me into building a small communities-on-bsky experiment: atmo.garden how it works: - create a community on atmo.garden e.g. atproto, will automatically create an acc: @atproto.atmo.garden - send DMs of bsky post to that acc and they will get reposted or quoted by that acc
More organizations recognizing the value, more different communities outside the nuclear atproto dev community getting interested and BUILDING. Coalitions are growing. Big landmarks are being crossed like permissioned data and independent infrastructure. Folks are getting hired. We got this.
