For the publication metadata nerds: I tried to create clarity (ahum) by visualising the generation of various metadata and their flow through the scholarly publishing system. The links goes to the online version that is fully animated, as well as additional versions. Wonder if you think this is useful.

Die fedikarte.de war eine Website, die eine Straßenkarte abbildete, auf der sich #Fediverse Nutzer:innen eintragen konnten.

Stefan konnte die Seite nicht weiterbetreiben. Ich habe Domain & Software von ihm übernommen.

Die #Software liegt nun in einem Git-#Repository und wartet darauf, mindestens zwei neue Maintainer:innen zu finden. codeberg.org/HDValentin/Fedika

Gibt es eins, das hier Lust hat, dies weiter zu betreuen oder neu zu machen? Oder kennst Du eins, dem Du es weitersagen magst?

"neither Mendeley nor EndNote’s App functions recognized dataset DOIs" ...which is rather astonishing, for 'in-app' #DOI look-ups. #Zotero, #Paperpile & #Sciwheel are at least at the forefront though more to be done.

I would comment that analysis of 'plugin' import of #dataset metadata into ref managers more complex to understand; highly dependent on the structured data exposed by host #repository.

Update. Bad news from the #NEH for #KnowledgeCommons (and the rest of us).
about.hcommons.org/2025/04/17/

"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.

New study: "Despite having a #repository mandate since 2016, #NSF #compliance rates remain low."

Journal of Librarianship and Scholarly CommunicationOpen But Hidden: Open Access Gaps in the National Science Foundation Public Access RepositoryIntroduction: In 2022, the U.S. government released new guidelines for making publicly funded research open and available. For the National Science Foundation (NSF), these policies reinforce requirements in place since 2016 for supported research to be submitted to the Public Access Repository (PAR). Methods: To evaluate the public access compliance of research articles submitted to the NSF-PAR, this study searched for NSF-PAR records published between 2017 and 2021 from two research intensive institutions. Records were reviewed to determine whether the PAR held a deposited copy, as required by the 2016 policies, or provided a link out to publisher-held version(s). Results: A total of 841 unique records were identified, all with publicly accessible versions. Yet only 42% had a deposited PDF version available in the repository as required by the NSF 2016 Public Access Policy. The remaining 58% directed instead to publisher-held versions. In total, only 55% of record links labeled “Full Text Available” directed users to a publicly accessible version with a single click. Discussion: Records within PAR do not clearly direct users to the publicly accessible full text. In almost half of records, the most prominently displayed link directed users to a paywall version, even when a publicly available version existed. Records accessible only through the CHORUS (Clearing House for the Open Research of the United States) initiative were further obscured by requiring specialized navigation of publisher-owned sites. Conclusion: Despite having a repository mandate since 2016, NSF compliance rates remain low. Additional support and/or oversight is needed to address the additional requirements introduced under the 2022 memo.

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.

Another reason to host open content on #OpenInfrastructure 404media.co/email/c98f7ffc-8a7

"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."

404 MediaArchivists Say Fortnite Developer Threatens 'Cultural Heritage'Sketchfab users who champion open access are worried that Epic Games’ ownership and transition to Fab puts thousands of 3D models used for science and preservation at risk.
