#Fediforum: "Talk of #feeds was everywhere. I made a note to myself throughout the conference.
It's amazing how big the feeds theme is. Feed ownership, customization, and sharing. All powered by #openprotocols."

"We're A New Social, a new #nonprofit organization focused on building cross-protocol tools and services for the #OpenSocial web…We need to have…The Last #NetworkEffect, where users are on a combined network using platforms embracing #OpenProtocols. This enables people to choose platforms based on their needs rather than how many users are active on them."

A New Social · Hello, Social Web 👋🏼Our mission is to liberate people's networks from their platforms, enabling The Last Network Effect and leveling the playing field across the open social web.
#AudreyTang : "#Prosocial media also addresses the centralization of #socialmedia platforms and the resulting unhealthy concentration of curation power in the hands of a few tech giants.
#Decentralization holds the promise of a more democratic internet, where people have greater control over their data and online experiences, leading to a proliferation of local communities, all interconnected through #openprotocols."
"Twitter is a neat illustration of the problem with #benevolentdictatorships: they work well, but fail badly. Because they are property—not protocols—they can change hands, and overnight, you get a new, malevolent dictator.
By contrast, #ActivityPub-derived services like Mastodon are #openprotocols. Users who want new features, or changes, can either unilaterally implement them; or they can appeal to others to do it."

Even #OpenAccess articles on #COVID19 need to do better at sharing data, code, and protocols.

journals.plos.orgTransparency of COVID-19-related research: A meta-research studyBackground We aimed to assess the adherence to five transparency practices (data availability, code availability, protocol registration and conflicts of interest (COI), and funding disclosures) from open access Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) related articles. Methods We searched and exported all open access COVID-19-related articles from PubMed-indexed journals in the Europe PubMed Central database published from January 2020 to June 9, 2022. With a validated and automated tool, we detected transparent practices of three paper types: research articles, randomized controlled trials (RCTs), and reviews. Basic journal- and article-related information were retrieved from the database. We used R for the descriptive analyses. Results The total number of articles was 258,678, of which we were able to retrieve full texts of 186,157 (72%) articles from the database Over half of the papers (55.7%, n = 103,732) were research articles, 10.9% (n = 20,229) were review articles, and less than one percent (n = 1,202) were RCTs. Approximately nine-tenths of articles (in all three paper types) had a statement to disclose COI. Funding disclosure (83.9%, confidence interval (CI): 81.7–85.8 95%) and protocol registration (53.5%, 95% CI: 50.7–56.3) were more frequent in RCTs than in reviews or research articles. Reviews shared data (2.5%, 95% CI: 2.3–2.8) and code (0.4%, 95% CI: 0.4–0.5) less frequently than RCTs or research articles. Articles published in 2022 had the highest adherence to all five transparency practices. Most of the reviews (62%) and research articles (58%) adhered to two transparency practices, whereas almost half of the RCTs (47%) adhered to three practices. There were journal- and publisher-related differences in all five practices, and articles that did not adhere to transparency practices were more likely published in lowest impact journals and were less likely cited. Conclusion While most articles were freely available and had a COI disclosure, adherence to other transparent practices was far from acceptable. A much stronger commitment to open science practices, particularly to protocol registration, data and code sharing, is needed from all stakeholders.
How often is intellectual property (#IP) an important obstacle to sharing research #data, #code, and #protocols?
I suspect that many other obstacles are more common and troublesome. But when IP is an obstacle, here's a proposal to work around it.

Scientific AmericanA Simple Replication Agreement Could Improve Trust in ScienceA replicability crisis threatens computational science without shared code, data and methods from studies. A new replication agreement system can mitigate this crisis.
Imagine doing the hard and useful work of finding markers that predict #schizophrenia spectrum disorders (#SSD) and failing to share the #data, #code, or #protocols that would support #replication.
A new study finds that many past studies of SSD suffer from just that kind of "incomplete reporting".
