A home to friendly weirdos. The Grey Gardens of the Fediverse (but beige). Occasionally graphically cacographic. Definitely probably not a cult (though you'll never be 100% sure). Beige-bless 🙏

"In the face of social inequalities, digital divides, hegemonic power relations, capitalist conflicts of interests, asymmetric gender relations and international border and migration regimes, educational and social actions are becoming more challenging.

This week we published results (report in Dutch, data, code) of a Dutch project to improve open access monitoring for articles (open, reproducible, diamond identification, license, OA timing, national approach), using institutional output data. Shout out for @MsPhelps for doing the bulk of the actual work in scripts, analysis and reporting. This will be used as the basis for improved open access monitoring and reporting in the Netherlands. doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.1506168

Image from report showing distribution of Dutch uni journal articles from 2023 over the various open access types. Showing also diamond open access percentages, being less than 5% at all institutions
Image from report showing distribution over embargo times of articles in university repositories (green open access of accepted or published versions) going from 'before publication' and 'zero embargo' to over 24 months embargo.
Summary of the OA monitor workflow from the Github repository with the scripts. The summary shows the 7 steps with links to their sql scripts: combine cris data, add bibliographic data, add unpaywall data, add OA classification, create export datasets, aggregate count from structured base table, aggregate count from flattened export table

New study: "We conducted a…survey across 125 countries, interviewing nearly 130,000 individuals [& found] widespread support for #climate action. Notably…86% endorse pro-climate social norms and 89% demand intensified political action…Despite these encouraging statistics, we document that the world is in a state of pluralistic ignorance, wherein individuals around the globe systematically underestimate the willingness of their fellow citizens to act."

Also see Damian Carrington's summary: "People across the world are united in wanting action to fight the #climate crisis but remain a silent majority, because they wrongly think only a minority share their views."
theguardian.com/environment/20

The empirical support for this result is very welcome. But #AJMuste reached much the same conclusion (about issues other than climate) in 1952. I cited it in one of the early issues of my newsletter on #OpenAccess (Dec 2001), as one reason why I launched the newsletter. "Muste argued that civil disobedience was useful in part because it made actual dissidents known to potential dissidents. It broke the appearance of unanimity that, by itself, discouraged many people from voicing their opposition or even thinking clearly and courageously about opposition."

We owe it to ourselves to make the climate majority more vocal and visible. Same for the #democracy majority.

NatureGlobally representative evidence on the actual and perceived support for climate action - Nature Climate ChangeGlobal support and cooperation are necessary for successful climate action. Large-scale representative survey results show that most of the population around the world is willing to support climate action, while a perception gap exists regarding other citizens’ intention to act.

Update. "The federal Department of Education [#ED] maintains an open access database of more than 2 million documents [Education Resources Information Center, #ERIC] dating back to the 1960s. It will cease operating Wednesday due to #DOGE cuts."

PS: I use many sources in my attempt to stay on top of what's happening with #OpenAccess, #OpenScience, #OpenEducation, and so on. ERIC has been one of the stalwarts.
