In 2020, Joachim Schöpfel and I planned to publish an anthology on research data, topics to be covered should include issues such as fake data (even then we were thinking about AI-generated data) and their detection, data markets, data reuse rates, blockchain, and health data. However, we had underestimated what had changed since 2018. Back then Open Divide – Critical Studies on Open Access, edited by Joachim and me was published.
