Today we announce a next step in our transition to open research information: CWTS will discontinue the use of Web of Science data, both in the Leiden Ranking and in the services that we offer to external organisations. Read more on our website 👉 edu.nl/vnepv @barcelonadori.bsky.social
Matilda.science is back online with all services thanks to @huma-num.bsky.social. A lot of new texts, references links and full-text indexations coming tonight.
matilda.science
Matilda will also be unavailable from tonight 5PM GMT for around 24h. Thanks to @huma-num.bsky.social and CCIN2P3 teams for their work.
Reminder! Due to the complete shutdown of @huma-num.bsky.social services on June 15th and 16th, 2026, ISIDORE will be unavailable. All information is available online at humanum.hypotheses.org/17134
If you want to avoid AI Search and metadata shortcomings, you can simply full-text search on 36M works (and counting) with Matilda.

Monthly review of the coverage of the major bibliometric databases: March 2026
Someone went to the trouble of creating 5 fake OSF accounts today, linking to 5 fake ORCID accounts, and generating 5 fake papers to submit to SocArXiv, with fake author and emails. Dude, if you are reading this, I hope you get the help you need (or a better job).
Matilda's name comes from Margaret Rossiter's work on the history of women in science. We wish to welcome any academic text, whatever its language, authors, form, output to counter Matilda's effect. If you have not read her, please do. iahr.oss-accelerate.aliyuncs.com/upload/file/...

Matilda has reached 160M deduplicated publications, among which 33M are full-text searchable. Everything is free, sharable and reusable and will remain as such under our #POSI commitments and following our mission matilda.science/mission?l=en
Matilda has adopted the Principle of Scholarly Infrastructure (POSI). For full details, see here #OpenScience matilda.science/posi?l=en
📣 Our introduction to structural causal models in science studies is now published: doi.org/10.1162/QSS.... @tklebel.bsky.social and I tried to make our introduction as accessible as possible. We illustrate the theory by three case studies based on a simulated model of Open Science. 🧵(1/6)

At Matilda, we don't use affiliation data, but we have developed a multi-source pipeline to avoid such data capture. In order to achieve @barcelonadori.bsky.social goals, we need to outweigh those who see this data produced by researchers as an asset to be enclosed. #openscience
Elsevier at its best: they only embrace #openscience when it makes money and does not endanger their assets. Now that Crossref data is CC0 and used by 3rd parties (OpenAlex, Matilda,...), they just keep data in their systems @keanbirch.bsky.social #openresearchinformation @barcelonadori.bsky.social

The harshness of grant calls in the research world: our project received the maximum grade of 100/100... and still was not funded.
Is there a relationship between the metadata publishers submit to Crossref and the submission systems they use? 🤔 We (w/ @msphelps.bsky.social) analyzed 153 publishers and 4 major systems to find out. 👉 doi.org/10.31222/osf... #OpenScience #Crossref #OpenMetadata #BarcelonaDeclaration
That is why we have multiple sources in Matilda and deduplicate to get abstracts and, more importantly, full-text indexing to achieve maximum discoverability. #openscience #openresearchinformation

Today on the blog, we feature Matilda, a bibliographic platform built specifically for open science. We spoke with project lead Didier Torny about the project, and their plans to incorporate links to datasets for the articles they index in Matilda. 👉 makedatacount.org/read-our-blo...
We will never have any AI (LLM) component inside Matilda to avoid that situation. Bibliographic search needs deterministic, transparent and reproducible processes. AI-training robots already come to the platform, which is fine, though we need to slow them down to avoid DDOS-style crashes.

Received the print copy of my book (out next week!). Obligatory shot with @theul.bsky.social in the background.
A remarkable colleague, whose work is the reason why we chose "Matilda" for our open bibliographical platform. Read not only her "Matilda effect" article, but her extensive work on the history of women in science. #STS #historyofscience
"It took her nearly two decades to find a permanent academic position. She found occasional work as a visiting professor, filling in for someone on leave for a year or two. She earned grants to fund her research... but she was often living on unemployment benefits" www.nytimes.com/2025/08/29/s...
Matilda is LLM-free so that you can always trace back any data/reference/publication to trusted sources. Of course we don't build fancy bios, we just give you the link to the author's ORCID page #openscience #opendata
Just in case there was any doubt, ChatGPT 5.0 still makes up completely random citations that don't exist and should not be used for literature search.
Not sure how many scientists here have tried Claude Code or similar command line coding assistants. I had a complicated family property tax problem that was best solved by a brute force Monte Carlo simulation approach, so I spent a few days coding up and analyzing a model with Claude Code.
