Barcelona Declaration on Open Research Information@barcelonadori.bsky.social ยท 2mo ago

๐Ÿงฉ Open funding metadata is not a niche technical issue. Funding Metadata WG Coordinator @hldejonge.bsky.social recently explored why funding metadata should be a priority rather than an afterthought in a Research Professional News opinion piece: ๐Ÿ”— www.researchprofessionalnews.com/rr-news-euro...

Funding metadata is no nicheโ€”it shows what research spending does - Research Professional News

Disclosing funding information, crucial for transparency, should be standard in publications, says Hans de Jonge

If only there were a way for AI to check if a citation was hallucinated. Or to vet the provenance of a putative scholarly publication. If only there were some sort of infrastructure to support this: asimovaddendum.substack.com/p/the-collab...

The Collaborative Exoskeleton of AI Science

There is a lot of hope that AI will advance the progress of science, but unfortunately, the collision between AI and scientific publishing has not gone well.

Metadata as infrastructure Curation as design requirements not afterthoughts Reference materials as validation and benchmarking requirements This has to be the way moving forward

Sure, but in the UK the PACE Act and GDPR means the Police have to go through legal channels to request footage. What I'm saying is that can easily change, especially if your Goverment/Agencies do not respect laws. Probably best to just not have the tech at all.

All done with the tacit approval of the @royalsociety.org, an organisation that has sadly lost its way and yet still claims to speak for the scientific community. It doesn't speak for me.
