Jonathan Tennant, PhD, was a paleontologist, an Open Scholarship activist and advocate, a founder of Open Science MOOC (open educational platform), PaleorXiv (open publication platform), he was an author of numerous books, scientific articles, public talks and presentations for science reformation. He inspired a lot of people to join the movement for better science. Jon tragically died on the 9th of April 2020 in Bali. One year later his family, friends, colleagues and supporters remember his legacy and life.

– Sister Rebecca’s appeal:

https://www.gofundme.com/f/4acpr2-JonTennant

Earlier, you kindly fulfilled our appeal to you for funds to repatriate our family member and friend, Dr. Jon Tennant (https://www.gofundme.com/f/repatriation-burial-costs-fund-for-jon-tennant). Your generosity has enabled us to start this painful but vital process. At present (01.6.20) Jon is still in Bali as the current pandemic is slowing down usual processes.

The present call for funds aims at covering partially the legal fees associated with bringing clarity to the accusations Jon faced over the last months of his life.

To recap, Jon was a tireless and selfless advocate for open science. However, late in his productive life, he experienced a significant amount of cyber-mobbing on Twitter, in large part due to the procedural opacity of a supposedly caring and protective organization (more info following this link : https://jontennant.substack.com/p/the-opencon-saga-5-month-update).

Over the last months, Jon Tennant also spoke of the effects of bullying, mobbing and cancel culture from the human side, as he experienced it in its most strong effects : https://jontennant.substack.com/p/cancel-culture-makes-everything-look-worse-than-it-is ; https://jontennant.substack.com/p/what-academic-mobbing-feels-like).

Because information has not been shared with us we have not been allowed to follow the usual administrative steps to achieve truth and justice. We hope still to be able to do this.

We believe that Jon’s memory deserves clarification on the accusations targeting him. Clarity in such matters is essential to close up speculations and allow his family and the broader scientific community to set a final learning point behind this case. We hence consider a series of legal steps to attain that goal. Our lawyers estimated the costs of the foreseen steps at £24 000. Your donations will only be used for costs associated information gathering and possibly tweet removal. None of the money you donate will be used to sue people or organizations. Your kind support in this endeavor is greatly appreciated. We have set the fundraiser at £10,000 due to left over funds from the previous fundraiser and other donations that have already been put aside.

We hope our effort, with your generosity, can make the open science communities further reflect on practices and involvement in cases of bullying and harassment. We hope to honour Jon’s memory by making steps towards justice in this regard! If this fundraiser doesn’t meet the required amount, we will cancel it and all donations will be returned to you.

Jon Tennant and the unsustainable virus of closed science @Protohedgehog #JonTennant

/ citizen science, corwdsearcher, open access, open books, open data, open education, open journals / Commenti disabilitati su Jon Tennant and the unsustainable virus of closed science @Protohedgehog #JonTennant

In this unforgettable year for the number of deaths of the pandemic the academic and scientific world loses a protagonist and champion in its professional field, a victim escaped the CoronaVirus but not to a fate as tragic as incomprehensible for a society like ours, unable to open its eyes to a new approach to sustainable research and science freely shared with citizens. April 9 is the 100th day of leap year 2020, while the WHO has more than 1,500,000 Covid-19 infections and at least 95,000 victims, in Bali, Indonesia, the scientist Jon Tennnant falls victim to a motorcycle accident.

In today’s society, unfortunately, few people are aware of his commitment and his battles for the opening of data, for the sharing of research methods, for the accessibility of publications produced in research institutions and universities, funded by citizens who repay both those who produce content and those who market it on the web and on paper.



Open Science MOOC is one of Jon’s masterpieces, an online course open to all to involve citizens in Open Science.

The Open Science movement has its roots in the “Bermuda Principles”: in 1996 the scientific community imposed rules to publicly share the results of research on the human genome. Two years later the “Open Source Initiative” movement was born, from which derive today’s myriads of open Apps and Software, including Linux/Unix. Following in these footsteps the scientific community founded the OA (open access) Initiative, with the manifesto signed in Budapest in 2002, the guidelines to open scientific, medical and health content to the Internet community are disseminated. The cornerstone of OA is to provide the public with free and unlimited access to academic research, especially if publicly funded, multiplying the possibilities for dissemination and scientific collaboration.

This recent paper summarizes the spirit with which Jon Tennant participated in Open Science:


Traditional methods of scholarly publishing and communication are ineffective in meeting the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The SARS-CoV-2pandemic has demonstrated that, in times of need, the global research community can activate and pool its knowledge and resources to collaborate on solving problems. The use of innovative Web-based technologies, including open source software, data-sharing archives, open collaboration methods, and the liberation of thousands of relevant research articles from proprietary sources show us that the fundamental components of a fully open system are readily available, technologically efficient and cost-effective. If we are to achieve the SDGs by 2030, systematic reform and explicit adoption of open scholarship strategies at scale is necessary. We propose that the United Nations and parallel entities take a position of leadership by creating or funding an organization or federated alliance of organizations to implement these reforms.

The activist has left to all citizens of the world the inestimable legacy of Citizen Science, with the paradox of not appearing in WIKIPEDIA throughout his career, as short as it is precious for the world of knowledge and scientific research. It will remain forever his contribution and his motto:

CREATING BETTER SCIENCE FOR A BETTER SOCIETY

 International Workshop on Misinformation, Computational Fact-Checking and Credible Web

Our society is struggling with an unprecedented amount of falsehood which harms wealth, democracy, and health.

Debunking misinformation and disinformation calls for interdisciplinary collaboration of and advancements in multiple areas, including journalism, communication studies, law and public policy, psychology, and political science. Computing technology plays a crucial role in it. The last few years have witnessed a substantial growth in efforts at computational fact-checking, of which many are data-driven, AI-powered, and include human in the loop. These efforts tackle various fronts, such as the detection of fabricated news, rumors, and spam on social media, automation in fact-checking, flagging clickbait articles, and discovering fake accounts and malicious social media bots.

Advancements in algorithms and AI have raised significant ethics concerns regarding fairness, transparency, trust, and misuse. The concerns are particularly pertinent to fact-checking—while fact-checkers discern truth from falsehood, who is there to check them? Furthermore, the harm of misuse of AI is already manifested in this arena. For instance, creators of falsehoods may optimize for their objectives using approaches steered by algorithms. Finally, maintaining a high bar of ethics in research itself, particularly ensuring the reproducibility of research results, is vital to the health of the enterprise.

The success of tackling misinformation lies not only in methodology and technology but also education. To help cultivate a society that is more robust to falsehoods, to break “filter bubbles” and “echo chambers”, we must raise the awareness of all aspects about misinformation and we must train a generation of Web users that are well versed in media literacy, data literacy, and logic and fallacy.
