What’s of interest? Open Science Network
Tell me more!
“Reclaiming scientific discourse, one conversation at a time.”
Open Science Network emerged from a simple but powerful observation: when researchers rely on corporate platforms for essential communication, they risk losing control over their own work and community. The collapse of “ScienceTwitter” endangered years of valuable scientific exchange, exposing just how dependent we had become on infrastructure we neither owned nor governed.
We believe scientific discourse deserves better. Open Science Network is co-designed with researchers, scientific communities, and open science advocates who know that the tools of scientific communication shape science itself. Platforms that prioritize engagement over accuracy cannot foster trustworthy scientific exchange.
Our approach is different: federated digital spaces where researchers and institutions retain full control over their data, including conversations and networks. Universities can host their own instances while being interconnected with a global network of scientific communities. Discussions can become citable FAIR objects with DOIs. Publications are enriched with metadata and collaborative tools.
