The US Supreme Court is making it even more urgent for institutions to migrate away from US owned infrastructure. We're not affected as we manage ResearchEquals on European owned + located servers ๐ช๐บ Need help migrating? Maybe we can help โ DM us! euobserver.com/224950/eu-un...
We spent the week hardening our security by encrypting secrets in a forward reliable manner. Easy to manage and keep information secure. We need your support to make sure the plumbing works - if you have any leads where we can seek financial support, send us a DM! git.libscie.org/researchequa...

If you've gotten value from ResearchEquals, would you mind leaving us an honest review? It is super helpful in us moving forward with y'all ๐ senja.io/p/researcheq...
Yes please - all we need is โฌ100k/year. Our operating funds are covered until ~end of 2027 and can use some support. Institutional backing is ~โฌ13k/year right now.
What if global #OpenScience cost a fraction of one nation's journal subscriptions? ๐คฏ SCOSS reveals a stark contrast: โฌ6M feeds 12 vital global #DiamondOA infrastructures, while a single country can spend over โฌ100M on paywalls and APCs. Read the full story: scoss.org/the-6-vs-100...

Efforts to federate research infrastructures should not reinvent the wheel. ResearchEquals seeks to federate with the Fediverse instead. > By using ActivityPub to federate research publishing, the act of publishing becomes the act of distribution. doi.org/10.53962/xjp...

Great to see the Open Source for Science Fund launched for the life sciences! We also need this for open scholarly infrastructure. Our funds run out end of 2027 and are actively looking for ways to sustain the project in a way that sustains our values.

We enable the publishing and curating of the entire research process. Publish all steps of your work as primary outputs, whether it's text, data, or code. Curate anything on the web into a collection for discoverability. researchequals.com
ResearchEquals got reviewed in Katina Mag! > its flexibility across disciplines and its inclusive concept of research outputs make it easy to share oneโs work at any stage, and its user-curated collections effectively surface high-quality content. I recommend it. katinamagazine.org/content/arti...
