Hi everyone, I'm a researcher currently working on a project about Professor Raymond Dart. I've learned that the University of the Witwatersrand (Wits) holds digital archives that include original photographs of him, but I've been unable to access these materials. Does anyone have experience with Wits' digital repositories or know which department or individual I should contact to request access? Any guidance or advice would be greatly appreciated! Thank you! Matteus

This article shows how The Public Knowledge Project was among the pioneers in promoting the open science we all enjoy today. Interesting insights by John Willinsky :

Schubert et al. (2024) reveal the successes and challenges faced by organizations in adhering to reforestation best practices. While many acknowledge the importance of measurable goals and community involvement, only a few provide detailed monitoring and long-term plans. Only 38% of organizations in the study report quantitative measures of the benefits to local communities.

I would like to make a suit for this paper on the form of an open review of about FAIR principles papers:

FAIRification can be schematized as a wheel describing iterative quality steps that need to be approved by the community throughout the process. This schema displays the “preparing” and “training” phases as conditions of pre-FAIRification. The pre-FAIRification processes must be community-approved at each iteration. The FAIRification steps ‘check’ and ‘adjust’ implementation must be approved by the community before a new iteration.
