Delighted to see this news is out: @themitpress will be moving two big European Sociological Association journals from paywalled/"hybrid" (at Taylor & Francis) to diamond OA with MIT Press 🎉 🍾 💯

WE ARE HIRING

* OXFORD COLLEGE FELLOWSHIP *

Job in @OpenSAFELY @BennettOxford @JesusOxford with amazing open science tools that cover the whole population's health data securely.

It's a PERSONAL FELLOWSHIP and you get a COLLEGE affiliation.

You can do epidemiology, security research, work on a key health data policy issue, or more. As long as it fits our work.

So: YOUR brilliant research projects, 3 years, also you get the food, friendships and mediaeval lifestyle

The Leibniz Strategy Forum on Open Science will discontinue its activities on Twitter/"X" within the next few days until further notice.

Fun fact: the MP3 file format is as old today as 8-track tapes were when MP3 was invented.

Here's how the "Ship of Theseus" page looked in July 2003 when it was first created! Since then, the article has been edited 1792 times and 0% of the original phrases remain.

Persistent identifiers are the foundations of any good online strategy for cultural and knowledge organisations. Documents, digitised objects, data all need to have a trusted, permanent location so they can be found, shared and used.

Without them, your digital palace will collapse.

This guide from the Dutch Digital Heritage Network is an excellent guide to help organisations decide how they want to implement permanent identifiers.

This was important enough to merit a sort of Brexit diagram. Simple though. #Threads

Very inspiring: Sorbonne University unsubscribes from Web of Science and Clarivate's bibliometric tools, and will support open alternatives instead, in particular @OpenAlex.

‘By resolutely abandoning the use of proprietary bibliometric products, it is opening the way for open, free and participative tools.’

Hope to see more institutes follow this transition from closed to open systems for research information!

#Crossref (@crossref) has "developed a new, heuristic-based strategy for matching #journal #articles to their #preprints. It achieved the following results on the evaluation dataset: precision 0.99, recall 0.95, F0.5 0.98."

It's sharing the code on Github.

Discovering relationships between preprints and journal articles https://www.crossref.org/blog/discovering-relationships-between-preprints-and-journal-articles/

This is exactly what we need! Journals and preprint servers should link to each other, but unfortunately they fail to do so in a systematic and reliable way.

Great to see that Dominika Tkaczyk at @crossref seems to have a high-quality algorithmic solution!

And over heeee[...]eeeere (i)s Saturn.

I've created this animated chart to visualize the vast spectrum of resource types that you can choose to assign DataCite DOIs to research outputs.
The video shows how strategic partnerships, e.g. with IGSN have a real impact.
I encourage you to watch and reuse this one-minute clip 🍿 👇 🎬
