I have been working as a Director General at the KB for almost two months now. Just too early for an overall reflection, but also already that long that I can say that it feels very good to walk around the building, talk to the colleagues in the KB, and slowly (that is far from finished!) get to know the networks and organizations. The KB is the national library of the Netherlands and is there for everyone.

Dear rOpenSci friends, it’s time for our monthly news roundup! You can read this post on our blog.Now let’s dive into the activity at and around rOpenSci!

Revolutionising On-Device AI: High-Performance, Low-Resource Language Models for Edge Computing

La  Web es dinámica, cambia constantemente acorde con las tendencias y las necesidades, en los pocos años que la he utilizado para hacer investigación digital, he visto constantemente la aparición de nuevas tecnologías y la desaparición de otras, las modas van y vienen, pero las utilidades clásicas perduran.

Matt Boyd, Nick Wilson TLDR/Summary Two Tales of the Apocalypse In the book The Knowledge Lewis Dartnell speculates on how someone might rebuild civilisation from scratch after an apocalypse. The essential minerals he mentions, in rough order of priority, include those needed for agriculture (potassium, nitrogen, and phosphorus for fertiliser), food preservation (salt), thermal energy … Continue reading "The Critical Minerals That Matter: Aotearoa/NZ’s Basic Needs in a Global Catastrophe"

Dr. Sandra Gisela Martín from the re3data Editorial Board delivered a featured lecture, “re3data: Global Registry of Research Data Repositories”, at the Second Meeting of Colombian Institutional Repository Managers and Open Science (II Encuentro de Gestores de Repositorios Institucionales de Colombia y Ciencia Abierta, ERICCA 2024), which was held in Cartagena, Colombia, September 25-27. Convened by the Colombian Ministry of Science, Technology

One of the key benefits of having openly accessible metadata for a scholarly record is to easily identify and expose the relations among works—for example, investigations conducted in different domains that cite the same literature, results reported by different teams that drew from the same datasets, or projects outputs delivered years ago that inspired new experiments or methodology. These relations have always existed, but are often hidden due to variable archiving conventions and siloed preservation and communication practices. With properly implemented persistent identifier (PID) workflows, however, they can be readily discovered and be fed back into the research process, supporting evidence-based assessment.

The Falepili Union is a security, development, and migration treaty signed in November 2023 between Australia and Tuvalu. Due to rising sea levels and subsequent displacement of people, the aim of the agreement was to counter the effects of climate change and, in particular, to offer the citizens of Tuvalu a way to relocate to Australia.

Hey there, science and policy enthusiasts! It's Titus here, and I'm thrilled to bring you this special edition newsletter on a topic that's close to my heart: the Biological Weapons Convention (BWC). Remember last week’s issue, when I promised more on the BWC soon?
