Einführung Seit der Veröffentlichung der Empfehlungen zur Spezifikation des Kerndatensatz Forschung (KDSF) durch den Wissenschaftsrat 2016 wird die Einführung von Forschungsinformationssystemen als zentrale Nachweis- und Berichtsinstrumente zu den eigenen Forschungsaktivitäten und -ergebnissen an vielen Hochschulen intensiv diskutiert.

The Gender Inequalities in Science workshop took place at Leiden University on 7th-8th October 2019, organized jointly by CWTS and Elsevier’s International Center for the Study of Research (ICSR). For two days, researchers from different research institutions, universities and science stakeholders discussed issues concerning gender in science from diverse perspectives and contexts.

There is more than one sort of scientific research infrastructure: those that provide technology and computational capacity, and those that are supplied by the community who works with it (Baron et al., 2017). We suggest that computing research infrastructures provide an information environment that support effective research, but of themselves are insufficient to provide the insights and understanding we desire.

"Welcome to the quackathon!". That is how we invited researchers from the CWTS to an afternoon workshop during our yearly first research retreat. But what on earth was that supposed to mean? The reference to a hackathon is fairly obvious. In a hackathon, programmers come together to jointly work on a computer problem and try to solve it during the meeting. We have programmers at our centre.

Rationale Readers of this blog will be familiar with Open Citation Identifiers (OCIs), described in an earlier post and formally defined in [1]. OCIs enable bibliographic citations, treated as first class information entities, to be uniquely identified and referenced, and are used to identify the >624 million individual citations indexed in the latest release of COCI, the OpenCitations Index of Crossref open DOI-to-DOI citations, as

“It all started with a pang of jealousy,” says Asura Enkhbayar when asked what inspired him to start Open Science […]

The infrastructures that natural sciences run on are many and varied. A mixed garden of tailormade instruments and laboratories designed to handle highly specific tasks.

The creation of the Open Biomedical Citations in Context Corpus (CCC) is the goal of a one-year project funded by the Wellcome Trust. The aim is to create a new open corpus of bibliographic and citation data that contain detailed information about individual in-text reference pointers in biomedical journal articles.

We are now proud to announce the third release of COCI, which contains more than 624 million DOI-to-DOI citation links coming from both ‘the ‘Open’ and the ‘Limited’ sets of Crossref reference data.
