My paper is out in @bigdatasoc.bsky.social : “Emergency curation as anticipatory maintenance: Lessons from the 2016/2017 #DataRescue movement.” doi.org/10.1177/2053...
Newly updated OpenAIRE graph dataset (snapshot date 2026-01-29) now available on Google Big Query as part of ORION collective orion-dbs.community
Thanks @openaire.bsky.social @openairegraph.bsky.social for making the dataset available to share!
Promotional graphic for ER&L Fest 2026 featuring the session “Beyond the Black Box: Advancing Openness of Publication Metadata.” The event takes place on Tuesday 3 March, 9:00–9:50 (UTC-6) in Austin, Texas, USA. The design uses a purple background with yellow and white text. A small map of the United States highlights Texas with a location marker and the words “Join us.” The Barcelona Declaration on Open Research Information is listed as the organizing initiative, along with a link to learn more about ER&L Fest.

Miranda Bennett and Colleen Campbell (OA2020 / Barcelona Declaration Joint Task Force) discuss how libraries can push for open publication metadata through negotiation and coordinated action.

Small publishers face threat from scale, not open access - Research Information https://www.researchinformation.info/news/small-publishers-face-threat-from-scale-not-open-access/
🌌 Today, ORION was launched, an initiative to bring together Open Research Information (ORI) resources in a cloud-based solution. CWTS is involved with multiple colleagues, including our data science team.
💻 Check out the initiative's website and blog post! 👇
What's better than an open research information resource? Multiple open research information resources that can be combined together!
Happy to participate in ORION, an effort to coordinate making ORI resources available in the cloud, with initial (!) focus on BigQuery

Today we're starting ORION, an effort to coordinate making #openresearchinformation resources available, with an initial focus on Google BigQuery. We are keen to coordinate with all who are interested in supporting a community effort towards availability and reusability!

AI agent goes nuts on open source maintainer after having its pull request denied. This is a pretty insane story. Open source development as we've been used to for the last few decades is likely over. 1/

We need to talk about better metadata in Crossref and DataCite. ROR id, ORCIDs, the lot.
In an age of AI bots that attack our open infrastructure, we also need to discuss whether papering over the gaps with industrial grade website scraping is appropriate or sustainable.
✨ NEW blog post: Being open isn't enough - true "research information citizenship" requires building & maintaining a robust, genuinely #OpenResearch infrastructure, writes our VP of Research Futures, Simon Porter.
💡 Here's what it will take to achieve: https://ow.ly/6U3Y50YcJ3J

First shot, first goal!
"We believed contributions such as interactive articles and visualizations were held back by not being seen as real publications...we no longer believe this...the bottleneck is the amount of effort and the unusual combination of scientific and design expertise required" distill.pub/2021/distill...
Ten simple rules for teaching data science arxiv.org/abs/2602.02874
1: Teach data science by doing data analysis
2: Use participatory live coding
3: Give tons of practice and timely feedback
4: Use tractable or toy data examples
5: Use real and rich, but accessible data sets
Big New Project Release! 📣
I'm very excited to share this long-form highly interactive data (visualization)-driven article on Neglected Tropical Diseases that I worked on for The END Fund. It takes a deep dive into NTDs and the millions of people affected every day

📣 Our introduction to structural causal models in science studies is now published:
doi.org/10.1162/QSS....
@tklebel.bsky.social and I tried to make our introduction as accessible as possible. We illustrate the theory by three case studies based on a simulated model of Open Science. 🧵(1/6)
Improving the #OpenAlex document type classification is needed. Meeting abstracts and book reviews are very often grouped under "article", skewing the counts. This new classifier from Nick Haupka is a good contribution toward fixing that problem.
Na das wäre was!
Jetzt noch anmelden für die Tagung "KI in Bibliotheken weiterdenken". Am 29. und 30. Januar 2026 kommen bei uns in Frankfurt Fachleute aus Bibliotheken, Archiven und Gedächtnisinstitutionen zusammen: www.dnb.de/DE/Kulturell...
There seems to be a decrease in the coverage of affiliation metadata in #OpenAlex, particularly with regard to journal articles published by Elsevier since 2024. Only around 6% of Elsevier articles published in 2025 have affiliation metadata.

Big new blogpost!
My guide to data visualization, which includes a very long table of contents, tons of charts, and more.
--> Why data visualization matters and how to make charts more effective, clear, transparent, and sometimes, beautiful.

Great, congratulations.🎉
