Wir unterstützen den „Call to Action“ von OpenAIRE, LIBER, COAR & SPARC: openaire.eu/the-future-of-euro

Repositorien sind ein entscheidendes Werkzeug für die Open-Science-Transformation. Die Entwicklungen rund um KI verstärken die Relevanz von Repositorien als kuratierte Sammlungen von wissensch. Inhalten. Sie ermöglichen mehr Impact, Inklusivität, Vertrauen und Innovation.

Um Repositorien entsprechend zukunftssicher zu machen, wurden 7 Säulen formuliert.

Update. Bad news from the #NEH for #KnowledgeCommons (and the rest of us).

"On April 2, 2025, we received notification that our NEH Infrastructure and Capacity Building Challenge Grant, awarded in 2020, was terminated effective immediately…On April 10, 2025, we received further…notification that our contract to provide the NEH’s Designated Public-Access #Repository was also being terminated…This loss is devastating…both for the financial impact it represents…but also for the unceremonious end to a goal we’d set for ourselves years ago…Not to mention the bigger picture here: that designated public-access repository is no longer needed, because it is assumed that the NEH will no longer be funding research, and thus there will be no results of research to make publicly accessible."

PS: All the agencies covered by the #OSTP #NelsonMemo must designate #OpenAccess repositories for their OA content. NEH was the only agency to designate a repo not hosted by the govt. All the other agency repos will be hosted by the govt, where they will be subject to political censorship or takedowns.

The #data team I lead for the #Australian Plant Phenomics Network (plantphenomics.org/) is seeking two additional #Python #developers as part of our efforts to build end-to-end pipelines for #FAIR #research data.

One will focus on interfaces between our nodes and #S3 #repository storage at #Pawsey and #NCI.

The other will build tools to help nodes package complex data using RO-Crate.

The preferred location is Adelaide.

Interesting... In a #git repository, I found a directory called .history that replicates the structure of the repository but with backups of all the files, ending with a timestamp before the file extension. E.g., backend/device.py is replicated as .history/backend/device_20250126172553.py. And there are many more files like this. Surely this was created in an automated fashion. But with which software? Does anybody know?

― I should advise awaiting an official announcement before attempting to use overlay repos such as these.

Come work with me and the team!!
We're advertising for a 'Digital Library Systems Developer' to join the Digital Library team at the University of Glasgow.

This is an exciting opportunity to contribute to our new programme of innovation within the digital library, #repository, and #OpenResearch space. Detail below. Happy to take informal enquiries btw.

New study: "We find that the early release of a publication as a #preprint correlates with a significant positive citation advantage of about 20.2% (±.7) on average. We also find that sharing #data in an online #repository correlates with a smaller yet still positive citation advantage of 4.3% (±.8) on average. However, we do not find a significant citation advantage for sharing #code."

journals.plos.orgAn analysis of the effects of sharing research data, code, and preprints on citationsCalls to make scientific research more open have gained traction with a range of societal stakeholders. Open Science practices include but are not limited to the early sharing of results via preprints and openly sharing outputs such as data and code to make research more reproducible and extensible. Existing evidence shows that adopting Open Science practices has effects in several domains. In this study, we investigate whether adopting one or more Open Science practices leads to significantly higher citations for an associated publication, which is one form of academic impact. We use a novel dataset known as Open Science Indicators, produced by PLOS and DataSeer, which includes all PLOS publications from 2018 to 2023 as well as a comparison group sampled from the PMC Open Access Subset. In total, we analyze circa 122’000 publications. We calculate publication and author-level citation indicators and use a broad set of control variables to isolate the effect of Open Science Indicators on received citations. We show that Open Science practices are adopted to different degrees across scientific disciplines. We find that the early release of a publication as a preprint correlates with a significant positive citation advantage of about 20.2% (±.7) on average. We also find that sharing data in an online repository correlates with a smaller yet still positive citation advantage of 4.3% (±.8) on average. However, we do not find a significant citation advantage for sharing code. Further research is needed on additional or alternative measures of impact beyond citations. Our results are likely to be of interest to researchers, as well as publishers, research funders, and policymakers.

"Scientists, artists, and archivists are panicking about #EpicGames’ deprecating of Sketchfab, the internet’s leading #repository for #OpenAccess #3D models, saying that the uncertain future of the platform under Epic Games’ ownership could break or limit access to hundreds of thousands of free 3D models, severely impacting their role in education, research, and conservation."

On b), the inference is that too many institutions do not give due attention to the importance of #persistence of the #scholarly record, or recognise the importance of #repository or digital library collections as something to be managed responsibly over time. The former = huge implications for research verification, reproducibility, etc. The latter = an abdication of a what is normally a core 'librarian' instinct.

@paulwalk

For reasons that may become clearer at a later time, I was minded to revisit a paper from #OpenRepo2024 by @paulwalk -- 'Analysis of OpenDOAR Data'. Paul interrogates #OpenDOAR data and uncovers worrying findings about, a) currency of OpenDOAR data, but perhaps more worrying, b) that almost half of all #repositories do not have a functioning OAI-PMH endpoint.
