On Monday the Rogue Scholar science blog archive launched a dedicated API. Today I am reporting on the first Jupyter notebook using that API to generate an overlay blog post. An overlay blog post applies the idea of an overlay journal to science blog posts, and the Rogue Scholar API – in combination with content that has an open license (CC-BY) – makes that easy.
Agreement to combine and publicly distribute data about tens of thousands of retracted research papers, and grow the service together. The Center for Scientific Integrity, the organisation behind the Retraction Watch blog and database, and Crossref, the global infrastructure underpinning research communications, both not-for-profits, announced today that the Retraction Watch database has been acquired by Crossref and made a public resource. An agreement between the two organisations will allow Retraction Watch to keep the data populated on an ongoing basis and always open, alongside publishers registering their retraction notices directly with Crossref.

The Rogue Scholar science blog archive has launched a dedicated API today, publicly available at https://api.rogue-scholar.org and complementing the website. Rogue Scholar had an API before but with two important limitations. <strong> Serverless </strong> . The API at https://rogue-scholar.org/api uses serverless technology, which isn't a good fit for long-running resource-intense processes.
