🤝 Responsible research assessment is key to advancing open science. At Open Knowledge Maps, we believe that assessment should be open, transparent, and recognise the full diversity of research contributions.
That’s why we’ve joined CoARA (@CoARAssessment) - to help foster practices that go beyond traditional metrics and support a more inclusive and equitable research system 🌍
We're excited to be part of this international movement for change! ✨
The Open Science Festival was truly inspiring! ✨
The programme sparked discussions on the past, present & future of #OpenScience - including its challenges and unintended consequences. It was also great to reconnect with friends and colleagues from Austria, Germany, and beyond.

We were delighted to welcome Stefan Hanslik of the Austrian Federal Ministry for Women, Science and Research (BMFWF) to the Open Knowledge Maps office! 🌍📍
We presented the scale and impact of our service, our integration with the European Open Science Cloud (EOSC), and how we can contribute to the service layer of federated open research data infrastructures as a non-profit.
Thanks for the great exchange - we look forward to continuing the conversation! 🚀
🎉 Over 5 million maps created on Open Knowledge Maps!
From classrooms and labs to libraries and living rooms, our visualisations are helping people everywhere explore research in new and inspiring ways. 🌍💡
We couldn’t have reached this milestone without you. Thank you for using, promoting, and supporting Open Knowledge Maps. Your dedication inspires us every day! ❤️
Let’s keep building a world where AI-driven knowledge discovery is open to all.🎈
Reflecting on the 2nd Austrian Library Congress 🧠📚
As always, it was great reconnecting with colleagues and I also enjoyed the varied and high-quality programme.
A special thank you to everyone who joined my talk on AI and libraries! I'm especially inspired by the enthusiasm for @OKMaps and our organisational services, which make it easy to integrate AI-driven, visual discovery in library systems.
How do you see the role of AI in the future of libraries?
🏛️ Libraries: democratic - diverse - sustainable. But how does AI fit into this vision?
At the 2nd Austrian Library Congress, I’ll explore how libraries can forge partnerships with AI systems while ensuring that knowledge remains open and accessible.
📅 Join me on Thursday, March 27 at 4pm in Hall F2 to dive into this topic - and get an in-depth look at the new OBVSG module that makes @OKMaps integration into library catalogues a breeze!
📚 Elevate your discovery systems with AI-driven, visual search 🤖
Libraries, repositories, and research projects are integrating Open Knowledge Maps’ groundbreaking services into their own offering. Discover how the Custom Services are transforming how users explore and interact with knowledge.

It was an honour to participate in the discussions on the future of scientific publishing at the Janelia campus of the Howard Hughes Medical Institute (HHMI).
I thoroughly enjoyed exploring the principles and features of an open and transparent communication system and sharing how @OKMaps' AI-powered platform can enhance discovery, curation, and research assessment within such a framework.
A big shout-out to the organisers and all participants!
We are honoured to be invited to the Howard Hughes Medical Institute (HHMI) “Future of Scientific Publishing” workshop.
As a solution provider, we’re excited to showcase the potential of Open Knowledge Maps’ AI-powered visual platform for scholarly communication and its benefits for science and society.
We look forward to collaborating with leading minds to shape a more open and transparent future for scientific publishing.
Our Norwegian-speaking 🇳🇴 audience can find out more about Open Knowledge Maps in this in-depth interview with Peter, in conversation with journalist Per Jarl Elle earlier this year.

📣 We are thrilled to announce the launch of AQUANAVI, a project dedicated to developing faster responses to the complex challenges facing aquatic ecosystems💧
Developed in collaboration with @LeibnizIGB, and enhanced by Open Knowledge Maps’ AI-driven visual discovery tools, AQUANAVI will create an interactive atlas of aquatic mesocosm research 🌎
Learn more about the project here ▶️ https://openknowledgemaps.org/news/2024/07/03/aquanavi
@OKMaps As we approach the Munin Conference, I’m eager to discuss a topic close to my heart: building community-led AI systems for scholarly communication.
In my talk, I’ll showcase how Open Knowledge Maps (OKMaps) leverages participatory governance and open infrastructures to create community-owned, AI-powered discovery tools. With over 4 million knowledge maps created globally, OKMaps shows how open collaboration can reshape academic discovery.
Looking forward to your thoughts!
