The DataCite community includes repositories that have overcome obstacles that the whole community faces to create metadata that are very complete for four FAIR use cases. Over 3000 DataCite repositories were analyzed and ten Bright Spots are recognized for outstanding completeness above 49%. Congratulations and thanks to these repositories as great examples for all of us.
One thing I was still missing in BioHackrXiv was a place with an overview of: 1. all biohackathons, 2. all preprints linked to a biohackathon, 3. an RSS feed for new papers of a biohackathon.
The WATOC congresses occur every three years.

Meine Hauptaufgabe bei WiNoda ist es, Selbstlernkurse zu verschiedenen Themen zu erstellen, die wir via Moodle zur Verfügung stellen wollen.

Anmerkung zu dieser Rubrik: Das Open Research Office Berlin erstellt monatlich eine Übersicht über Termine und Veranstaltungen zu Open Access und Open Research in Berlin bzw. an Berliner Einrichtungen. Der Fokus liegt dabei auf unseren Partnereinrichtungen und auf Veranstaltungen, die sich an die Öffentlichkeit richten bzw. die offen sind für Angehörige der Wissenschafts- und Kulturerbeeinrichtungen in Berlin.
Today’s piece is a guest post by Alex Obadia. Alex is a new program director at the UK’s Advanced Research and Invention Agency (ARIA). As Alex puts it, his focus is “currently on designing new enabling trust primitives for a world where many more substrates (e.g. DNA, materials, thoughts) are programmable.” I met Alex last month at the ARIA Summit.
Thirty years after my first contact with computational (ir)reproducibility, I am happy to note that many things have improved. Reproducibility, computational and otherwise, is increasingly recognized as an important aspect of scientific quality control, and mostly considered worth striving for.
