Time for Scopus to act! ✅

psych-DS is a community project (originating at the SIPS @improvingpsych conference) that aims to standardize #dataset formats and #metadata for psychological science.

They have reached a big milestone: the initial release of the Psych-DS structure has been fully implemented as a validator (essentially a "spellcheck" that determines if a dataset matches the standard)

Research Organization Registry

The Data Science team at @crossref has released an open dataset centering on research organizations in Crossref #metadata. In the dataset, nearly 95 million organization assertions include a ROR ID discovered by an automated affiliation matching strategy developed in collaboration with ROR. What an enormously valuable -- yet free -- resource! community.crossref.org/t/a-new

#perch (formerly called #taggart) just had its 1.0.0 release, and you can use it to bulk-edit the basic #id3 #metadata of #music from the #tui!
