We are looking for two PhD students interested in the regulation of habit formation. Habits are useful to decrease cognitive load, but carry the risk of becoming stereotyped and hard to control – it’s hard to shake a bad habit.
DOI: 10.60804/0sak-7g76 We are pleased to announce the launch of the ‘Implementing data evaluation in academia’ Working Group, a partnership between Make Data Count and HELIOS Open.
On Friday the 13th of December 2024 our PhD student Linda Berube had her viva voce examination and was awarded a PhD with minor corrections in Human-Computer Interaction Design!
Since 2009, I have published over 125 articles on this blog, creating a space where my work intersects with the rigor of academic research and the applied challenges of industry. This platform has grown beyond a personal archive. It has become a resource for researchers, industry practitioners, and students alike. It currently attracts more than 18k monthly visitor from across the globe.
Open community resources are increasingly used to promote open research practices, and are themselves an open practice. They are a powerful way to create shared ownership of a resource and provide agency to add or change them. However, they also present new struggles around embedding them in institutional practice, which we experienced in our own work.
Do you think the FAIR principles for Research Software are working? The FAIR Principles for Research Software were published in March 2022 and described in a paper in October 2022.
Einen Datensatz für KI-Training zu erstellen, fällt unter die urheberrechtliche Ausnahmeregelung für Text- und Data-Mining (TDM), so das Hamburger Landgericht. Im Urteil blieb allerdings die Frage offen, ob das eigentliche KI-Training ebenfalls unter die TDM-Schranke fällt. Für die Formulierung des Nutzungsvorbehalts gab das Gericht indes einige Anhaltspunkte.
In the rapidly evolving landscape of research, the importance of high-quality metadata and persistent identifiers (PIDs) cannot be overstated. PIDs and metadata are the connective tissue that binds together diverse research outputs, enabling discovery, accessibility, and reuse. Despite their critical role, the current model for metadata creation and enrichment is fraught with inefficiencies.
DOI: 10.60804/dqm7-9687 The Make Data Count Summit 2024 took place in London earlier this month. Over two days, we explored what areas of research infrastructure, practices, evidence and evaluation we need to focus on to advance data metrics and our understanding of the reach and impact of open data.
