🍀 Sometimes the best research discoveries feel a little like luck.
When scholarship is shared openly, it becomes easier for scholars, students, and communities to find the ideas that inspire their work.
That’s the power of open knowledge.

Dear Open Access,
Thanks for making research open, shareable, and easy to fall in love with. 💌 You help scholars and communities everywhere discover and connect through knowledge.

One thing we love about Knowledge Commons is how it brings humanities scholars together to share open, accessible research across disciplines. Building community + supporting open knowledge = a win-win. 💗

Why do we love open access? 💖
Because knowledge should be shared, not locked away. At Knowledge Commons, we support open, accessible humanities research so scholars, students, and communities can discover and build on work without barriers.

Academia.edu is getting more and more ludicrous all the time. Latest email from them:
"Hi Anna, the wolf recently confirmed that your paper Birth Narratives in Indo-European Mythology mentions them."
Very coherent and helpful.
I guess I need to unsubscribe from even more of their useless emails […]

Watching with interest. US-based #KnowledgeCommons plans to co-locate in Europe and South Africa in order to preserve academic research beyond the control of the US govt. Good luck, @kfitz.info.

#Preservation
A theme that many now discuss: the quality of information on the knowledge web. I first wrote about this on my blog back in June 2023. (I discuss it as part of 2 subsequent academic papers.)

a screenshot of a tweet from Mick Kiely, founder of IAIAI saying "Without effective regulation, artists' work will continue to be exploited, funnelling value to AI companies. With OpenAI's current valuation at $157 billion, employees and former employees are set to receive up to $10 million each, while those who contribute the most—artists and rights holders—remain denied any remuneration for what is undeniably the lifeblood of AI."
We all want an open web, open knowledge, data, science and content (and AI). But when society makes power so unequal, so imbalanced economically, how can we continue like this?

Can we look at this theory to begin work on a revolutionary change back to a world where the impact of higher ed is no longer reduced to a flimsy argument over ROI? #academicsky, #highered, #knowledgecommons (3/4)
This theory can demonstrate how the background of the debate on the value of #highered has produced an evolutionary change, where those who care about higher ed failed to notice the agreed to reality was changed by those who wish to abolish higher ed writ large. #academicsky, #knowledgecommons (2/4)

Open movement’s common(s) causes - Report from a Wikimania 2024 side event
Common(s) Cause is an effort by @creativecommons.bsky.social @openfuture.bsky.social @okfn.bsky.social and #WikimediaEurope to create a shared advocacy agenda for the #KnowledgeCommons.

Are degrees only worth pursuing if there is a clear job waiting on the other end? Is #highered no longer a #KnowledgeCommons? The #academy is the only discovery engine with no profit motive. Students gain & share valuable knowledge and insights in the process and contribute to society. #AcademicSky
