To be part of the rOpenSci Champions program has been an experience of professional growth and an opportunity to contribute to the rOpenSci community . I learned about R package development while working on a tool to facilitate access to census data from Argentina.
In early 2023, CWTS introduced a new organisational structure of so-called focal areas to address the challenges outlined in its knowledge agenda. As discussed in a previous post, the knowledge agenda is not another research agenda, but rather combines research and intervention around the mission of CWTS to better understand how research is practiced and governed, and how it serves society. The focal area Evaluation &
As a 2024-5 Open Future Fellow, I explored AI across the research and publishing lifecycle. The output of this research is available as a report here: https://openfuture.eu/publication/governing-the-scholarly-ai-commons Summary: In recent years, commercial publishers and information analytics companies have increased their reliance on AI-based technologies to conduct a range of tasks across the research lifecycle.
