#Metadata mutability may sound harmless, but it can distort research metrics and misattribute credit.
To ensure fair and responsible #ResearchAssessment in #OpenScience, freezing and versioning metadata is critical.
Here, #OpenAIREGraph CTO @paolomanghi breaks down both the risks and possible solutions.

How do you build a strong Open Science culture?

It's not just about tools — it's about people, care & community.

In her new piece for The Experimentalist, @HeidiSeibold shares lessons and values that shape our work at DRA.

A must-read for anyone passionate about better, fairer research.
