Major step for Open Science infrastructure

Open Science NL is investing €35 million to support 45 projects that reinforce the digital backbone for open research practices. In our interview with Hans de Jonge (Director, @OpenScienceNL we examine the strategic goals, community engagement, and relevance of this initiative for the broader European research landscape.

New frog from #madagascar just snuck in:

Brachytarsophrys wui

Treatment: https://treatment.plazi.org/id/7191F853-62A6-5190-97FC-CAFDBA47261A

The study shows that around half of supposedly "open" repositories are not technically open at all - their OAI-PMH endpoints are broken, outdated, or misconfigured:

https://doi.org/10.1177/01655515251396902

For me, this paper is not a revelation, but a confirmation of a simple point: open science does not start with policies or declarations. It starts with routine infrastructural work - making sure that the basic protocols actually work.

❄️ Winter Data Wonder #3 – Meet the New FAIR Check

The updated FAIR Check from NFDI4Culture makes it easier to assess how Findable, Accessible, Interoperable and Reusable your data are.
The new version is more intuitive and interactive, featuring a FAIRness wheel, progress bars, info boxes and a save function.
Originally designed for the humanities, it’s useful far beyond that community.

“Imagine metabolomics data that smoothly moves between tools—no conversions, no barriers.”

At the ELIXIR BioHackathon, NFDI4Chem joined 40+ experts testing mzTab-M with real datasets. 20 successful tool-to-tool exchanges strengthened interoperability and revealed where standards must evolve. A solid step toward FAIR, reproducible MS workflows. 🔬📄
