SciPost is asking the scientific community for help. Support diamond open access publishing!

The Scipost platform guarantees open access to all its journals, with no publication fees for either readers or authors. Supporting organisations fund SciPost through a cost-cutting consortial model. However, Scipost's funding model is under threat.

Es ist wieder Zeit für #fdmbasics!

Diesmal ein wiederkehrendes Thema beim #Forschungsdatenmanagement: Der #Datenschutz.

Die Handreichung „Datenschutzrechtliche Anforderungen in der empirischen Bildungsforschung“ von Alexia Meyermann und Maike Porzelt (@verbundfdb) sensibilisiert für zentrale Datenschutzfragen und bietet mit konkreten Bausteinen praxisnahe Unterstützung zur Umsetzung im Forschungsprozess. 🔧

Leadership in science is not just “nice to have” — it’s vital.

Since 2016, the GSO Leadership Academy has helped 200+ researchers define their purpose and build the skills to lead change.

This year, 25 fellows from 10 countries join the 2025 cohort — tackling topics from AI to climate justice.
Because leadership in science means accountability, action, and shaping a better system.We’re proud to support this program.

Die Tübinger Repository-Welt wird neu gebaut – mit DSpace-CRIS!
Für die Planung eines internen PCW ( Project Coordination Workshop) war dann aber gestern erstmal das LEGO alle. 😅
Aber keine Sorge: Services, Repo-Workflows mit vielen Entitäten, Backoffice, Autor:innen – wir bringen alles zusammen auf die (Repository-)Brücke und natürlich unter die Open Science Flagge.

« The integration of #Guix and #SoftwareHeritage paves the way for more transparency and verification of the whole computational environment involved in scientific research.

Scientific production should be robust to external service failures; for example, being able to audit or reuse scientific findings should not depend on the availability of platforms hosting source code.

That’s why backing package managers with Software Heritage appears vitally important. »

Thanks @swheritage for the spotlight! 😀

KonsortSWD Helpdesk ist DIPF-Projekt des Monats!

Der Helpdesk unterstützt als zentraler erster Anlaufpunkt bei der Orientierung im umfangreichen Angebot der insgesamt 40 Forschungsdatenzentren von @konsortswd. Außerdem dient er als Wegweiser beim #Forschungsdatenmanagement und bei der Archivierung von #Forschungsdaten.

Ein schönes Angebot, und das nicht nur im Mai! 😉
(Trotzdem Danke an die Kolleg*innen von @dipf_aktuell! 🤗 )
