”Science should be transparent and accessible to everyone. Today, I firmly believe that science goes hand in hand with openness. When I started my PhD couple of years ago, I did not even know what open science meant. Since then, I have taken baby steps towards a more sustainable science culture.” In this blog post, University of Helsinki doctoral student Julia Kemppinen writes on a practical level how she learned to understand the importance of open science and how she implements open science practices in her research.
Challenges of becoming too popular – arXiv growth requires updating maintenance
The most important repository of mathematical and physical sciences already contains 1.6 million e-prints. arXiv provides a platform for sharing e-prints openly for peer review. Over the years arXiv has grown into a giant, encouraging the birth of similar repositories in other scientific fields. This has been a challenge for arXiv maintenance, both in the technical and administrative sense. In this article, bibliometrics expert Eva Isaksson describes arXiv history, development and challenges.

Suuren suosion haasteet – arXivin kasvavat käyttömäärät vaativat ylläpidon päivittämistä
Matematiikan ja sen lähitieteiden merkittävin repositorio arXiv sisältää jo yli 1,6 miljoonaa artikkeleiden e-printtiä. ArXiv toimii alustana, jossa e-printit ovat avoimesti muiden tutkijoiden arvioitavana, ja joista osa julkaistaan paranneltuina versioina lehdissä. ArXiv on kasvanut vuosien mittaan jättiläiseksi, joka on viime vuosina synnyttänyt samalla periaatteella toimivia palveluita myös muille tieteenaloille. Kasvu on asettanut myös omat haasteensa arXivin ylläpidolle, sekä teknisessä että hallinnollisessa mielessä. Tässä artikkelissa bibliometriikan asiantuntija Eva Isaksson taustoittaa arXivin syntyhistoriaa, kehitystä ja nykypäivän haasteita.
From research services to open science discussions – a summary of Think Open blog in 2018
This blog post brings together all articles in English published in the Think Open blog last year. A large number of blog posts dealt with services for researchers, but there was also broader discussions on open science and digitalisation in the blog. The researcher will continue to be at the heart of the Think Open, but what kind of articles you wish to read in 2019?
New preprint repositories OSF and Science Open – a quick test
Preprint-repositories provide an opportunity for quick publication. We tested two archives, OSF Preprints and Science Open Preprints. This is the abstract of the original post (in Finnish).
