Today I am happy to announce the release of commonmeta-py v0.8, the next major release of the Python scholarly metadata conversion library.

Hi everyone, greetings from Karlsruhe in Germany where I am attending a conference about research data infrastructure at the moment.

Hi everyone, I hope you had a great summer. The academic year is about to start and I hope you are hungry for some knowledge :-) In today’s edition I want to introduce you to the European Open Science Cloud (EOSC). ::: {.subscription-widget-wrap attrs=“{"url":"https://fairdata.substack.com/subscribe?","text":"Subscribe","language":"en"}” component-name=“SubscribeWidgetToDOM”} Thanks for reading FAIR Data Digest!

The Rogue Scholar science blog archive received a small update today with the following changes: optionally filter blog posts by language, added support for all OECD fields of science and technology, and searching by DOI.

4 September 2023 Authors: Eric Allen Jensen, Daniel S. Katz DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.8312543 Research software is the unsung hero of modern science. Yet it often plays second fiddle to traditional scholarly outputs such as journal articles. As research grows increasingly computational, the need to recognise software contributions becomes imperative. However, there are a number of challenges that must be overcome to achieve this.

I’m revisiting the problem of taking a PDF or a scanned document and determining its structure (for example, where is the title, abstract, bibliography, where are the figures and their captions, etc.). There are lots of papers on this topic, and lots of tools.

Hi everyone, this last summer-break edition ties in with the previous edition. Last week I’ve wrote over research to make publication metadata from the free publishing service CEUR-WS available in a FAIR fashion , such that the data can be explored.

The Rogue Scholar science blog archive continues to grow. It is closing in on 50 science blogs (currently 45), 3,000 blog posts (currently 2,944, of which 2,775 have a DOI), and 250 (currently 212) blog posts with references registered with Crossref. I have set up eleven Mastodon bots for Rogue Scholar blogs after announcing the feature last week.

Dear rOpenSci friends, it’s time for our monthly news roundup! You can read this post on our blog.Now let’s dive into the activity at and around rOpenSci!rOpenSci HQ Open Call for rOpenSci Champions Program Applications!

Hi everyone, I’m on vacation now, but thanks to pre-scheduling you won’t miss out FAIR data updates! Today I want to share with you a research paper in which the authors report on the creation of large amounts of FAIR data which they host on Wikidata.
