Background Scholarly metadata, deposited by thousands of our members and made openly available can act as “trust signals” for the publications. It provides information that helps others in the community to verify and assess the integrity of the work.
As part of the ARIA Engineering Ecosystem Resilience program, we've been convening a series of workshops here at the Cambridge Conservation Initiative to explore the potential of combining two very radically different approaches to modeling. Joe Millard wrote this to frame the discussion: We held two separate workshops to explore this;
Das Projekt OA Datenpraxis verfolgt das Ziel, die Open-Access-Transformation in Deutschland voranzubringen, indem der Umgang mit Publikations- und Kostendaten untersucht und unterstützt wird. Das Projektteam hat nun Informations- und Lernmaterialien zu Monitoringaktivitäten mit offenen Datenquellen veröffentlicht.
