Das Assad-Regime war kaum gestürzt, da erklangen bereits die ersten politischen Forderungen nach einer Rückführung syrischer Geflüchteter aus Europa. Die Grundlage für ihren Schutzstatus sei mit dem Ende des Bürgerkriegs in Syrien nicht mehr gegeben.

Bibliographic databases should support innovation and experimentation. Here, we offer four criteria for innovation-friendly bibliographic databases. We urge the global research community to use databases that support and do not hinder innovation in scholarly communication and research assessment.

Continuing our discussion of galaxy formation and evolution in the age of JWST, we saw previously that there appears to be a population of galaxies that grew rapidly in the early universe, attaining stellar masses like those expected in a traditional monolithic model for a giant elliptical galaxy rather than a conventional hierarchical model that builds up gradually through many mergers.

Powerful predators, giant centipedes inhabit diverse environments worldwide, from deserts to rainforests, thriving in damp, dark places near their prey.

A Revolution Beneath the Surface In the quiet corners of fermenters and bioreactors, a revolution unfolds. It doesn’t grab headlines like rocket launches or AI breakthroughs, but its implications may ripple just as far. Biomanufacturing—the use of biological systems to produce materials, medicines, and energy—is reshaping how we live, how we work, and how we sustain ourselves.

Tourists and travelers often look for unexplored and untouched destinations. It’s the thrill of experiencing something truly unique that drives us to these places. The unspoilt country, which I recently had the pleasure of visiting, is one such hidden gem. Imagine waking up to the astounding beauty of raw nature, with the unexpected surprise of having a gentle giant, an elephant, knocking on your doorstep.

The INFORMATE Project has combined three data sources to explore how the global research infrastructure might help the US National Science Foundation (NSF) and other federal agencies identify and characterize the impact of their support. The data sources are the NSF Award Database, the NSF Public Access Repository (PAR), and the global research infrastructure as viewed through CHORUS.

Last week I wrote about the options we have for including DOIs in RSS feeds. This week is implementation time. Starting today, the Atom feed of this blog includes the DOI in the Atom<id> metadata field.

por Alicia Salmerón Explorar la historia de la circulación de impresos –de su traducción, a veces, así como de su impresión y distribución–, y de la manera en que fueron recibidos, leídos y discutidos constituye una auténtica aventura.

Zum Jahreswechsel läuft der urheberrechtliche Schutz von Werken der jeweils vor siebzig Jahre verstorbenen Urheber*innen aus. Auch 2025 gehen wieder zahlreiche Werke in die Gemeinfreiheit über, unter anderem von Frida Kahlo und Henri Matisse. Unterschiedliche Schutzdauern erschweren jedoch die Gemeinfreiheit. Jedes Jahr am 1. Januar ist der „Tag der Gemeinfreiheit“ – im englischen Sprachraum auch als „Public Domain Day“ bekannt.
