I love love loved working on this paper with the @crossref.bsky.social team -- special thanks to @ginsta.bsky.social @qornik.bsky.social & Rocio Gaudioso Pedraza 😊

You might be aware that Crossref records can contain funding metadata. But how complete is their coverage? According to this new paper, an approximate 30% of funding acknowledgments do not get deposited in Crossref. 👇 Read the evaluation now on MetaROR: metaror.org/article/lost...

Open Letter: Stop the Uncritical Adoption of AI Technologies in Academia It's been a year & people tell me they've changed their mind, feel safer now to sign, etc. So I'm sharing it again for them. We're almost at 2k & anybody from anywhere can add their names. openletter.earth/open-letter-...

Everyone's talking about Pangram and other AI-detection software like GPTZero. They promise impressive accuracy at spotting AI-written text. Science journals are starting to use them. How good are they? @miryamnaddaf.bsky.social and I take a look for @nature.com 🧵 www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Good infrastructure is patient work. What does that look like where you are? Tell us in a 5–7-minute talk at the Crossref annual meeting and board election. Submit by 4 September: https://www.crossref.org/crossref-annual-meeting/ #Crossref2026 #callforabstracts #CFA #Metadata

🧩 Open funding metadata is not a niche technical issue. Funding Metadata WG Coordinator @hldejonge.bsky.social recently explored why funding metadata should be a priority rather than an afterthought in a Research Professional News opinion piece: 🔗 www.researchprofessionalnews.com/rr-news-euro...

📢 Last week, we published 𝐼𝑚𝑝𝑟𝑜𝑣𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑄𝑢𝑎𝑙𝑖𝑡𝑦 𝑜𝑓 𝑂𝑝𝑒𝑛 𝐹𝑢𝑛𝑑𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑀𝑒𝑡𝑎𝑑𝑎𝑡𝑎: 𝐴 𝐶𝑎𝑙𝑙 𝑡𝑜 𝐴𝑐𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛 Thank you to everyone who has shared, discussed, and amplified the work so far 🌍 📣 Call to Action: doi.org/10.5281/zeno... 📘 Background document: doi.org/10.5281/zeno...

If only there were a way for AI to check if a citation was hallucinated. Or to vet the provenance of a putative scholarly publication. If only there were some sort of infrastructure to support this: asimovaddendum.substack.com/p/the-collab...

At the May 19th ROR Community Call, we'll hear about the ROR-based Flemish Organization Registry and about @crossref.bsky.social's plan to implement automatic matching of funder names to ROR IDs. Join us! ror.org/events/#ror-...

Metadata as infrastructure Curation as design requirements not afterthoughts Reference materials as validation and benchmarking requirements This has to be the way moving forward

New joint guide from @crossref.bsky.social and @datacite.org, with practical information about the different #metadata elements supported by each to help consider the integrity of the scholarly record: doi.org/10.5281/zeno.... The upshot: richer metadata can help assess #researchintegrity.

Innovation in scientific publishing and its implications for Crossref DOI registration practices - MetaROR’s approach doi.org/10.64000/vfe... Together with @andre-brasil.bsky.social I just published this blog post about @crossref.bsky.social DOI registration practices for @metaror.bsky.social.

We just tipped over 24,000 active organisational members and also reached 165 countries with the addition of the *University of Nouakchott*, bringing representation and governance from *Mauritania* for the first time! A big welcome to them 🇲🇷 🤩

Yep, it’s happening. As predicted.

All done with the tacit approval of the @royalsociety.org, an organisation that has sadly lost its way and yet still claims to speak for the scientific community. It doesn't speak for me.

Corrections, biases, and humility in science: Tuan V. Nguyen escaped Vietnam in 1981 as part of the mass “boat people” exodus of refugees, taking to dangerous waters just a few months after his older brother tried the same and disappeared. Today, he's a professor and bone researcher in Australia.

Have you met the Wikipede? In another universe, maybe it has been Wikipedia's logo for over two decades. Community members submitted many designs, proposed changes, and debated them openly 🧵⬇️ (1/5)

Here's how the Earth article looked in 2001 when Wikipedia was a month old, long before Wikipedians realized their fledgling online encyclopedia would be read and edited by astronauts in space someday
