I wish people were as concerned about academic responsibilities as they are about academic freedom.

See Felix's pledge. That's great.
Was trying to do something similar with my "reviewer philosophy": mgto.org/reviewing/
"Strategic choice to move towards investing my reviewer time on reviewing for Diamond Open Access & community journals, with emphasis on @RegReports"

For me, this was useful and relatively painless - made me double check my work and gave me the chance to add a few COI declarations that I hadn't realized were missing.

I volunteered to be audited by @curatescience for their Transparency Leaderboard: etiennelebel.com/cs/t-leader…
Here are my reflections on the leaderboard and the audit (1/n)

After 5 year battle, under court order #PACEtrial authors had to release raw data. Initial report publication stated 60 % improved & 20% recovered in the Lancet. Turned out to be 20% improved & only 7% recovered after reanalysis of the original protocol.

Here’s my take on these transparency audits: The *concept* of demonstrating transparency is a good one. If you agree with a specific definition of transparency and you *want* to be audited so that you can display your score via a widget on your website then go for it. But...
1/4

We discuss the recently proposed "transparency audit", why it received so much blowback, and the characteristics of successful reform schemes

On 24/11/20, we were invited to speak with the Director General of HigherEd, and invited to send a brief for a policy revision on researcher evaluation. Today we submitted it. An incredible team effort and step forward for Indonesian #OpenScience

Indeed, his rare vociferous criticism of commercial academic publishers is sorely missed.
In this recent video, I discuss how we NOT only need more of this kind of criticism against publishers, but it might need to be even MORE aggressive and personal.

Anyone who can clarify and/or resolve this "exclusion imbalance" data anomaly (aka "vague exclusions" mystery), please let us know.
