"Beyond typical #openscience questions, the report asks: Is global science equally open to learning from different experiences, questioning established assumptions, and open to hearing outside perspectives that challenge existing norms.

#CFRR is unique bc of its reliance on #OpenData #OpenAlex and other open data sources: critical bc it enables rigorous interrogation of the results/conclusions. Kudos to the team for leaning into that kind of transparency.

Across much of Africa we don't have the comprehensive, long term data to answer these meta-science questions: #Stellanbosch #HeideHackmann #China #CFRR - this is actually a threat to Africa bc our research continues to be invisible and so its hard to make the case for sustained investment.
