Our 71st #OpenScience Online Seminar on "Open Research Information in Action: Institutional Journeys Toward Open Systems", organized with the @BarcelonaDORI's Working Group on Replacing Closed Systems, takes place on Thursday, December 4, 15:00 – 16:30 CET.
It will showcase four institutional journeys from Europe and Latin America that use (or are moving toward) open, non-proprietary systems for #OpenResearchInformation.
1/2 📅 Thu 4 Dec 2025 · 🕒 15:00–16:30 CET
🌐 Online (open to everyone)
Featuring 🇮🇹 University of Milan · 🇨🇴 Universidad de Antioquia · 🇳🇱 VU Amsterdam · 🇩🇪 Leibniz Association

Moving funding metadata forward: key takeaways from our Barcelona Declaration round table (co-organised with @crossref)
🟣 🟡
New blog by @HLdeJonge drawing on work from Working Group 3 (Funding metadata).
• ~25% of Crossref records include funding info
• 45 funders using Grant IDs (250k+ links)
• Openness broadly valued; publishers face tech hurdles
• Standardised statements + coordination will speed progress

Kennen jullie MORIS al?
Binnen het Open Research Information-programma van SURF werken we aan een gezamenlijke oplossing voor het hbo om informatie over praktijkgericht onderzoek beter te beheren en te delen. MORIS brengt gegevens over onderzoeksprojecten, onderzoekers, partners en financiering samen — en draagt zo bij aan Open Science, samenwerking en digitale soevereiniteit binnen het hbo. #MORIS #OpenResearchInformation #praktijkgerichtonderzoek

🌍 New panel at #Munin2025! 🌍
How can publishers make more – and better – scholarly metadata openly available?
Join top experts from OA2020, DOAJ, CERN & PKP to explore strategies for #OpenMetadata & #OpenResearchInformation 💬

2/2 It includes the Report of the Bologna Meeting on Open Research Information — showing we’re moving from principles to practice, with community-driven next steps across working groups.

It is 2025. And still it seems to be okay to publish about #OpenResearchInformation (ORI) behind a paywall?
That is only a tiny bitt less ironic than a closed access publication about open access.
Current example: https://doi.org/10.1007/s11192-025-05347-6
Really, I do not understand why #Scientometrics does not flip. OpenAlex finds 121 articles there with #OpenAccess in abstract or title!
It's a pity, they even have a CfP on ORI, and in another journal I would love to submit.

🎉 1 year in: Crossref Grant IDs at NWO are now surfacing in publications.
In his post, @HLdeJonge (Barcelona Declaration funding metadata working group co-lead) breaks down how cleaner, connected funding metadata unlocks discovery, attribution & evaluation.
Within the BD community, the WG is partnering with funders, publishers & providers so these links become standard practice.

Die von Gabriele Spilker in ihrer Keynote bei den #oat25 aufgeworfene Problematik, dass Publikationen in manchen Journals für den globalen Diskurs unsichtbar bleiben, kann man auf verschiedene Art aufgreifen.
In unserem Vortrag "Gleiche Bedingungen für Open-Access-Journals schaffen - offene Forschungsinformationen in OJS-Journals" zeigen wir (
@komet ), wie (#OJS)-Journals aus aller Welt sichtbarer werden können.

In these minutes at #STIENID2025 there is a session on "Transitioning to open research information - the why, what and how for the STI community" with colleagues from the @BarcelonaDORI ( @MsPhelps @LudoWaltman) and Anne-Catherine Fritzinger from the #Sorbonne University.
Our @tibosl colleague @Maryna_Nazarovets will share some insights from @tibhannover, from the #BarcelonaDeclaration working group on "Evidence of Benefits" and from her personal experience with #OpenResearchInformation.
We’ll be among friends! 🇬🇧
The UK is home to our signatories — Birkbeck, University of London; Loughborough University; UK Reproducibility Network (UKRN); and Wellcome — and to our host this week, the University of Bristol, which is also a signatory of the Barcelona Declaration.
Let’s keep building open research information together.
🇨🇭 Switzerland strengthens its commitment to the Barcelona Declaration
We’re glad to welcome the @uzh as a new signatory, joining CERN and the Swiss Reproducibility Network. Together, they highlight Switzerland’s growing commitment to making research information open and transparent.
