The POSI Adopters1 called for feedback on their Proposed POSI 2.0 revisions. You might not be surprised to know that I have opinions.

Today, we’re delighted to let you know that Crossref members can now use ROR IDs to identify funders in any place where you currently use Funder IDs in your metadata.

Publishing Open Access (OA) has always been something important to me. It stems from my utopian belief that science should be for everyone and that the funders (taxpayers) should have access to it. Most of my publications are Open Access, something I was somewhat proud of as a novice researcher.

The first time I saw AlphaFold, it felt like stepping into the future, a moment where something previously thought impossible had suddenly become inevitable. AI had cracked the protein-folding problem. Well, not cracked exactly, but solved it well enough that it rewrote the playbook for structural biology. Overnight, the way we thought about proteins, drug discovery, and molecular engineering shifted. That was 2018.

Für die im September in Konstanz stattfindenden Open-Access-Tage werden ab sofort Beitragsvorschläge gesucht.

Birkenstock-Sandalen gelten nicht als Werke der angewandten Kunst und genießen somit keinen Urheberrechtsschutz. Das hat der Bundesgerichtshof nun festgestellt.
