new: 'One Million IUPAC names #3: the 200 thousand milestone and 1 million IUPAC names" doi.org/10.59350/6f7he-kxt56 chem-bla-ics.linkedchemistry.i

"I could not find the time earlier to report (reason), but three weeks ago we passed the fourth milestone release of the CCZero IUPAC names found in literature collection. This release contains 200026 IUPAC names, 168702 unique names, reflecting 116207 unique InChIKeys. Time for an update of the One Million IUPAC names project."

Neuromatch

Since 2020, Neuromatch has trained 11,625 students across 122 countries, with 54% from low- and middle-income economies. We have also hosted 17 language pods to help meet the needs of students.
This is what global access to computational science looks like!

"We can't respect copyright," said Big AI firms. "It's impossible!"

Meanwhile, researchers: *builds 8TB ethical dataset using only licensed content* 🤓

Funny how "impossible" becomes "done" when someone actually tries. Bonus: Their 7B parameter model performs similarly to Meta's Llama 2.

slashdot.orgAI Firms Say They Can't Respect Copyright. But A Nonprofit's Researchers Just Built a Copyright-Respecting Dataset - SlashdotIs copyrighted material a requirement for training AI? asks the Washington Post. That's what top AI companies are arguing, and "Few AI developers have tried the more ethical route — until now. "A group of more than two dozen AI researchers have found that they could build a massive eight-t...

"This survey aims to gather perspectives on achieving truly equitable global open access as outlined in the OASPA ‘Next 50%’ project primer available via the Zenodo repository: doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.1546331.

Your responses will inform discussions about reassessing what "open" truly means and on creating a more inclusive knowledge ecosystem. This will support a more holistic transition to open access."

ZenodoProject primer - Setting the stage for a 'different conversation' about open accessThe Open Access Scholarly Publishing Association (OASPA) is launching a new project for 2025, bringing together publishing organisations with those who pay for, fund and invest in scholarly communication. This initiative, delivered in collaboration with Research Consulting, builds on OASPA's research and outputs of the past few years, following over 3,000 downloads of these recommendations on financial and workflow barriers. This project primer is intended to frame a range of current challenges and takes you through three aspects of openness that need to be combined to provide a truly equitable scholalry communication system. At the end of the document, we pose several questions that we would like readers to carefully consider prior to attending project workshops or providing feedback via our open survey (accepting responses till 11 July 2025). Our goal is to help stakeholders across the scholarly publishing community embrace a more inclusive vision of open access - one that distributes benefits and responsibilities fairly, based on collectively determined priorities.

For the "Wikidata and Research" conference, I experimented with a "digital first" style of a poster:
doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.15591699 (LaTeX source included).

Everything blue is linked to the source URL, thereby providing a #rabbithole experience that paper-first posters (or bitmap thumbs) don't. Got positive feedback from in-person participants (for whom I provided a QR code) but would appreciate further thoughts from folks here.

ZenodoWikidata And Research As Reflected in Wikidata Status Updates 2012-2025A poster for the Wikidata and Research conference taking place in Florence on 5-6 June 2025. It represents research-related content of the Wikidata:Status updates that have been published weekly since April 2012. Its section structure replicates some key elements of these reports, and the content within each section is ordered chronologically, oldest first. Everything blue is linked, and the links from the core part of the poster link to the corresponding status update. The poster is provided both in PDF format and with the LaTeX source file. The poster PDF is also available on Wikimedia Commons via https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Wikidata_And_Research_As_Reflected_in_Wikidata_Status_Updates_2012-2025.pdf.
