We’re thrilled to share that Anton Boudreau Ninkov , Research Associate at the ScholCommLab, has been elected President of the Canadian Association for Information Science / l’Association canadienne des sciences de l’information (CAIS/ACSI) for the 2025–2026 term. In this blog post, Anton reflects on what this role means to him and outlines the key goals he aims to pursue during his presidency.

Im Jahr 2024 unterstützte der Publikationsfonds des Landes Brandenburg Open-Access-Publikationen von Wissenschaftler*innen aus verschiedenen Fachbereichen. Diese Titel repräsentieren eine breite Palette von Disziplinen und sind Zeugnis der vielfältigen Forschungslandschaft des Landes. In den letzten Wochen haben wir Ihnen einige dieser Veröffentlichungen in unserem Blog nähergebracht.

This is part 4 of a series on uv. Other posts in this series: uv, part 1: running scripts and tools uv, part 2: building and publishing packages uv, part 3: Python in R with reticulate I’ve never been a big fan of notebooks, and I’m not the only one. Out of order code execution, hidden state, difficulty diffing in version control, output bloat, etc.

Das Open-Access-Büro Berlin hat sich im Jahr 2025 umbenannt: Es heißt nun Open Research Office Berlin – Landeskoordinierungsstelle für offene Wissenschaft in Berlin .

As we’ve said before, we believe that publishing multilingual resources can lower the barrier to access to knowledge, help democratize access to quality resources and increase the possibilities of contributing to software and open science projects.Our ongoing efforts at multilingual publishing are crucial work for rOpenSci’s mission.When discussing this project at conferences and elsewhere, we start an important conversation with people less
