"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.

WACREN is pleased to announce an open call for piloting #RUMBU - a shared, community-governed #repository platform for Nigerian 🇳🇬 institutions. ‘RUMBU’ aims to bridge the infrastructure gap in Nigeria's research landscape, to foster collaboration, enhance #research visibility, and ensure compliance with global #openscience standards.

Shearer, K., Rodrigues, E., Manola, N., Malaguarnera, G., Pronk, M., & Proudman, V. (2025). REPOSITORIES: Key Infrastructure For Μaintaining European Research Εxcellence. Zenodo. doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.1511984

🙌 Treat repositories as critical research infrastructure and ensure dedicated institutional budget

🙄 The usual AI blah-blah

🕳️ Mentions cyber incidents, data loss, and technological obsolescence but fails to address censorship and willful deletion

ZenodoREPOSITORIES: Key Infrastructure For Μaintaining European Research ΕxcellenceFollowing the launch of the joint strategy by OpenAIRE, LIBER, SPARC Europe, and COAR in 2023, aimed at strengthening the European repository network and the publication of the initial report on the survey of the European repository landscape in December 2023, the group proceeded to conduct a community consultation, in two waves, that was completed at the end of 2024.   The final results of this study capture important insights from the repository community, shedding light also on emerging trends, challenges, and opportunities in shaping the European Open Science landscape. This report, named IMPACT-REPO Action Plan is the culmination of over two years of work to document the current state of repositories in Europe and identify key roles and functionalities for the future; it highlights the importance of a robust repository network for safeguarding Europe’s research production and advancing scientific excellence in Europe, despite the low awareness about the important role repositories they play in the European research ecosystem.   The IMPACT-REPO Action Plan aims to address this lack of visibility by articulating four key portraits of the role of repositories: Repositories for impact, inclusiveness, trust, and innovation; it also illustrates the key contributions of repositories in open science, while at the same time identifying points of action that will help ensure the viability of European repositories in the future to come.

I would like to upload the code to storyseedlibrary.org/ Solarpunk art library publicly and accept Pull Requests with any suggestions / submissions people have.

The repository is roughly ~200 MB, can grow up to ~500 in the future.

What would be the best platform to do it, balancing Solarpunk's #floss philosophy with user-friendliness?

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.
