In the spring of 2025, the Slovenian Research and Innovation Agency (ARIS) conducted a survey on the implementation of open science principles, to obtain the data to assess the enforcement of open science in the practices of research organizations in 2024. Fifty-four block funding recipients were invited to complete the questionnaire, of which 41 (76%) responded. The survey examines the integration of the open science concept into the goals, strategy, and mission of research organizations, the provision of services compliant with open science principles within research organizations, forms of national and international cooperation in the field of open science, and quantitative indicators of open science related to open publishing, research data, and infrastructure. The survey also aims to promote the implementation of open science principles. Open science will form part of the indicators of a broader and comprehensive system for the evaluation of scientific research and research organisations within block funding, since open science principles are the key dimension of excellent and socially relevant research.

Hoaxes, myths and prejudice in science: example of Pierre Trémaux

Tvrtko-Matija Šercar

The literature review is an integral part of research. The story of Pierre Trémaux (1818–1895) illustrates how factors, such as hoaxes, fabrications, untrue stories, myths and prejudice, which have nothing to do in science, difficulties in comprehending and accepting new scientific paradigms and also slow and geographically limited dissemination of scientific findings, which results in not being familiar with scientific findings and discoveries elsewhere in the world, are harmful for the ecology of scientific communication.

Dissemination proved to be a complex process that can take very diverse paths with questionable outcomes if not shaped correctly. And there are variety of views in research communities and the society of what the dissemination is. In such a situation it is natural to develop a more solid comprehension of the concept and, based on this, a model of the environment for the dissemination.
