🪤 Nearly a third of social media research has undisclosed ties to industry, preprint claims
｢ Researchers studying the impact of social media on society—everything from effects on teenagers’ mental health to the spread of misinformation—often work with the companies that run these platforms. But these ties evidently run much deeper than the scientific record acknowledges ｣
How can you link and track research outputs & activities to save time and elevate impact?
ORCID iDs and DataCite DOIs work together to make this possible! Find out how on 10 February at our webinar in honor of Love Data Week.

⚡ Cells Use ‘Bioelectricity’ To Coordinate and Make Group Decisions | Quanta Magazine
｢ Results published in Nature show that cells use bioelectricity to coordinate a complex collective behavior called extrusion, a vital process that ejects sick or struggling individual cells from tissue to maintain health and keep growth in check ｣
"With generative AI we have essentially provided a tool for conducting denial of service attacks on the infrastructure of the scientific publishing process (broadly construed). And we have done this at the time when we are seeing well-funded campaigns seeking to undermine free and independent scientific research."

🐭🎡 For years, scientists thought captive #mice ran on wheels because they were bored. But when researchers put wheels in the wild, they found that free-roaming mice, #rats, and even #frogs lined up for a turn, just for fun.

New Metadata Health Check webinars are coming up this February, with more sessions running through spring 2026. Dates and registration links: https://www.crossref.org/events/metadata-health-check-webinars/
"Imagine being an expert in your field, and working for months – maybe years – on a cutting-edge research project. And then imagine sending that research to a publisher who pays you nothing for your work. Instead, they charge you an enormous fee for the privilege of having it appear in their journal ... Unfortunately, that’s the entire business model of academic publishing."

Our Rx Inspector tool allows you to use information from your prescription label to locate the factory where a generic drug was made and see if the plant has a history of inspection violations.

The FDA won’t tell Americans where their generic drugs are made, so ProPublica built the Rx Inspector tool to show you.
Now a proposed bill would also require manufacturing location information on packaging for both generic and brand-name drugs.
