Das Webinar der @KFiD_GS zur Vorstellung des Offenen Registers für Auszeichnungen und Preise ( #ORAP) beginnt gerade. Ich freue mich sehr, dass es damit nun losgeht. Solch ein Register ist wirklich ein Desiderat und es ist extrem erfreulich, dass die KFID hier in Richtung #OpenResearchInformation denkt!
First look into the awards category of #OpenAlex. From a German perspective, it seems pretty useless so far. Only EU projects seem to be connected to German research institutions. And there is only one #DFG project with at least one work connected after 2003: https://openalex.org/awards?page=1&filter=funder.id:f4320320879,funded_outputs_count:1-,start_year:2003- - and only connected works for 2000-2002. Lots of DFG projects have strange titles. BMFTR projects have neither dates nor titles: https://openalex.org/awards?page=8&filter=funder.id:f4320321114&sort=start_year:desc
There is a lot to improve.
We would like to invite you to a webinar about structured citations in OJS 3.6., which is the basis for open citations from #OJS, and a key outcome of our KOMET project. Gazi Yücel will present on this on Jan 14 at 6:00 PM GMT+1.
Register for free at https://www.eventbrite.ca/e/pkp-webinar-structured-citations-in-ojs-36-tickets-1976978404627
It's one of the key outcomes from the KOMET project, and we are really happy it will be part of the next OJS release to improve #OpenResearchInformation for up top 50k ( #OpenAccess) journals around the world!
@OpenAlex seems to have some problems today. It's really slow. Just in time for a short presentation about it today at @tibhannover.
The CNRS is breaking free from the Web of Science
"From January 1st 2026, the CNRS will cut access to one of the largest commercial bibliometric databases, Clarivate Analytics' Web of Science, along with the Core Collection and Journal Citation Reports."

Moving funding metadata forward: key takeaways from our Barcelona Declaration round table (co-organised with @crossref)
🟣 🟡
New blog by @HLdeJonge drawing on work from Working Group 3 (Funding metadata).
• ~25% of Crossref records include funding info
• 45 funders using Grant IDs (250k+ links)
• Openness broadly valued; publishers face tech hurdles
• Standardised statements + coordination will speed progress

1/2 Launching the BD/OA2020 Joint Task Force on Negotiating Openness of Publication Metadata
We will work on: a negotiation framework & model clauses · tools/templates · real-world pilots · community capacity-building.
“Many deals still leave basic metadata closed—universities can’t fully track their outputs.” @LudoWaltman
2/2 “Establishing a negotiation framework and supporting resources will empower negotiators to set clear, consistent expectations.” — Miranda Bennett
