This week the Rogue Scholar science blog archive has launched a new feature: contributor roles. Blog posts can now have contributor roles attached to each author, and this information is shown in the Rogue Scholar and Crossref metadata. We have discussed contributor roles for blog posts for several months, in particular with the rOpenSci team.

DOI: 10.60804/5×77-bq53 Many institutions are looking at their evaluation processes with the goal of making assessment more reflective of the variety of researchers’ contributions and also more aligned to open scholarship. A key area of attention as part of assessment reform relates to the recognition of a diversity of open...

In the previous post, I was commenting that the transition state for borohydride reduction of a ketone contained some close contacts between the hydrogen of the borohydride and the hydrogen of water.
Courir est un bon moment pour réfléchir, particulièrement dans un événement sportif se décrivant comme vert. Les organisateurs décrivent des initiatives comme la plantation d’arbres localement et aussi à l’étranger sous le slogan ‘2km parcourus = 1 arbre planté‘. Ils mènent aussi des initiatives de plogging, et décrivent des engagement de RSE louables.
The DataCite team traveled to Brisbane for the International Data Week 2025, the leading international conference on research data. It is jointly organised by the International Science Council’s Committee on Data (CODATA) and World Data System (WDS), and the Research Data Alliance (RDA). It was a great opportunity to connect with familiar and new faces.
A lot of things are less than ideal in the world at the moment, but I can’t help but be amazed at what one can do with a static website. WebR through quarto-live allows you to run R (you can also run Python with pyodide) in the browser. No server required. Like below: eyJhdHRyIjp7ImVkaXQiOnRydWUsImV2YWwiOnRydWV9LCJjb2RlIjoiMisyIn0= I can’t help but feel this is a little like magic.
Comparing housing prices over time is difficult because of all the heterogeneity in housing that can both affect prices and vary over time. The typical solution to this problem is to use a hedonic price index that attempts to model the relationship between housing characteristics and price, and uses this to control the change in these characteristics over time.
Introduction References are an essential part of bibliometric research. For example, references are required to calculate bibliometric indicators such as the journal impact factor and the h-index. University rankings also rely on a proper recording of references, as the number of citations a institution receives is usually used as a criterion. The coverage of references within a bibliometric database therefore plays a significant role.
Am 19. September 2025 führten die DFG-geförderten Projekte OA Datenpraxis, openCost und Transform2Open gemeinsam den Workshop „Praktiken und Infrastrukturen des Open-Access-Monitorings“ auf den Open-Access-Tagen 2025 durch (Pampel et al. 2025). Nach einer kurzen Vorstellung der beteiligten Projekte diskutierten mehr als 30 Teilnehmende aktuelle Fragestellungen des Open-Access-Monitorings im Format World Café.
