Background Scholarly metadata, deposited by thousands of our members and made openly available can act as “trust signals” for the publications. It provides information that helps others in the community to verify and assess the integrity of the work.

As part of the ARIA Engineering Ecosystem Resilience program, we've been convening a series of workshops here at the Cambridge Conservation Initiative to explore the potential of combining two very radically different approaches to modeling. Joe Millard wrote this to frame the discussion: We held two separate workshops to explore this;

Das Projekt OA Datenpraxis verfolgt das Ziel, die Open-Access-Transformation in Deutschland voranzubringen, indem der Umgang mit Publikations- und Kostendaten untersucht und unterstützt wird.

A new Consensus Study Report from the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine is now available: The Age of AI in the Life Sciences: Benefits and Biosecurity Considerations.

I serve on the advisory board of Language Science Press, a high quality open access publisher in linguistics. I alo co-edit a book series with the press. A recent query to the board concerned AI in submissions. I share my answer here because it may be useful beyond the LangSciPress community. Lightly edited to make more sense as a standalone post. I support the Press taking a clear stance in this matter. I think synthetic text (AI slop, i.e.

But as I went through it, I realized something surprising: I have never felt as stressed in retail as I did waiting for a paper to be reviewed. Naturally, my scientist brain started drawing parallels between the two worlds. Some funny.

For open science to advance, it is essential to monitor its practices to meaningfully assess whether they are achieving their intended goals for research and society. The Open Science Monitoring Initiative (OSMI) was established to help the community assess the adoption and impact of open science across the research ecosystem and beyond.

International criminal law has made remarkable progress in recognizing gender-based crimes, yet conviction rates alone cannot capture the meaning of justice for survivors.
