exploring new ways to research
GenR is changing how it runs theme and having them ongoing as well as opening up to the Open Science community for theme suggestions. New themes that are already allocated for 2019/20 are ‘Innovation: The Open Science Dividend’ and ‘A Publishing Utopia’.

Open Climate Knowledge #OCK https://github.com/petermr/climate
— Invitation to get involved! Questions or comments raise an issue on GitHub or via Twitter @Gen_R_
This call is for a first round of analysis to establish statistics on rates of FOSS licencing for code used in research software for climate change.
Open Climate Knowledge (OCK) is an open research project with the objective to urgently make research related to climate change 100% open. Research publishing related to climate change currently appear to only be at <30% open access. (Tai and Robinson 2018)
There are two steps to enable the transition of climate change research to being fully open.
The OCK project started in September 2019 at the #elifesprint 2019 as a cooperation between the chemist and open access advocate Peter Murray-Rust and Simon Worthington of Generation Research.
📖 Welcome to the ‘Notebook’ community news from open science & scholarship. On the Notebook you’ll find brief notes, say 140 word long notes, like: meetups, calls, publications, data, mooc classes, webinars, curriculum, cool tools, and announcements from the GenR büro…
If you would like to post to the Notebook send in your 140 words (just a guide) or post them up on the pad or DM @Gen_R_. We’ll tag them on Twitter with the hashtag #gnote
If you have other formats — Twitter threads, slides, pictures stories, infographics, etc — all welcome.
Note: each note starts with an emoji, so go grab yourself one from here and copy paste.
🎓 A new visualisation and mapping of preprints from AfricArxiv has been released using the tool Kumu.
‘Explore this map by clicking on individual nodes and see which authors affiliated with which research institutions in Africa and beyond came up with the results. From each item title, you can directly go to the OSF item on AfricArXiv to find the abstract, whole manuscript, poster or dataset, respectively’ (AfricArXiv)
If you have comments, questions or suggestions for improvements on this map email info@africarxiv.org.

✨ The 1st convention for communities who create open books and knowledge resources. For all those who want to use agile processes to collaboratively work together to harness group wisdom on different types of publications: software documentations, text books, or MOOC modules, etc.
If you want to learn actively, share experiences, and participate in growing our knowledge production skills together, then this convention is for you!
Guest contributions from Adam Hyde @CokoFoundation, Abraham Taherivand @WikimediaDE, and Simon Worthington @Gen_R_
