Interested to learn how institutions around the world are connecting research through open infrastructure? On 24 April 2025, we hosted a webinar featuring three Global Access Fund (GAF) Awardees and their journeys in making research outputs more visible and impactful. Whether you missed the event or want to revisit the highlights, this blog summarizes the insights shared by our speakers.

The post Connecting Communities Through Open Infrastructure appeared first on DataCite.

Can creativity and science go together?

Uno de los errores más comunes en la transmisión de textos son las omisiones causadas por un salto visual del copista ( parablepsia ). Sobre ellas escribí una entrada hace algunos años.

In this series of posts about the electronic effects in small sulfur rings[cite]10.59350/rzepa.28615[/cite] I have explored increasingly large induced geometric effects. Here is the largest so far, for the compound S ₇ I ¹⁺ [cite]10.1021/ic50225a048[/cite] The calculated geometry[cite]10.14469/hpc/15236[/cite] is shown below, with the crystallographic values in parentheses – the two matching very well.

Der 14. Workshop der DINI Arbeitsgruppe Kompetenzzentrum Interoperable Metadaten (KIM) fand dieses Jahr wieder an der Uni Mannheim statt. Der jährliche Wechsel zwischen einer Veranstaltung vor Ort und eines Onlineformats hat sich mittlerweile etabliert und wurde auch von den diesjährigen Teilnehmenden als sehr passend empfunden.

The second trailer for Jurassic World Rebirth is out today, and there’s my baby at 1:35! I am completely certain that at some point the tide of Aquilops -themed merch will overwhelm my ability to keep up — not to mention your interest in keeping up with this blog — but for now I am happily in squee-land. Fortunately Mike is keeping the site turning over with some actual science content.

While threats to national and international heritage as a result of geopolitical tensions and cybersabotage have increased significantly, Dutch heritage institutions are insufficiently prepared for disasters, digital or physical attacks.

This overview is based on Open Access data for publications from 2024 only, providing a snapshot rather than a trend analysis. The data include four document types—articles, Books, Book Chapters, and Reviews—to more accurately reflect disciplinary publishing cultures. Data was taken from OpenAlex on May 14, 2025.

There’s a quiet revolution underway in how we think about global power. In the 20th century, alliances were built on the movement of oil, steel, and troops. In the 21st century, they’re being rebuilt on the movement of cells, code, and biological knowledge. This isn’t a metaphorical shift. It’s literal.

The two previous  posts[cite]10.59350/rzepa.28515[/cite],[cite]10.59350/rzepa.28407[/cite] on the topic of anomeric effects in 7-membered sulfur rings illustrated how orbital interactions between the lone pairs in the molecules and S-S bonds produced widely varying S-S bond lengths in the molecules, some are shorter than normal (which is ~2.05Å for e.g. the S ₈ ring) by ~ 0.1Å and some are longer by ~0.24Å.
