“Datatype is an OpenType variable font that turns simple text expressions into inline charts. No JavaScript, no images, no rendering library — just type the syntax and Datatype’s ligature substitution does the rest.” [franktisellano.github.io]

OpenAlex just launched OpenAlex Query Language (OQL) in *alpha*. This is a powerful and expressive query language that allows you to run queries you couldn't do before. I think evidence synthesis is definitely one of the big use cases as you see big improvements e.g proximity, nesting and/or etc(1)

Our preprint was also featured in a short piece on citations to China by @economist.com www.economist.com/science-and-...

Too much Chinese science is ignored by the West

A bad reputation and cultural ignorance are probably responsible

💡 Belated new preprint alert! We analysed geographical biases in scientific collaboration and citations. We find that distance continues to shape collaboration, but citations less so. Both show country-level biases. How about US-China relations? 🧵 arxiv.org/abs/2604.01602

there is a significant number of scholars/scientists who (still) blog. A lot of early semantic web and #openscience discussions happened on this open "platform". Rogue Scholar (@rogue_scholar) is archiving new and old blogs, and just passed the 50 thousand blog posts. All citable by @crossref […]

Open Access Licences and Open Metadata in Transformative Agreements – Scholarly Communication Analytics

I analyse Crossref metadata for around 250,000 journal articles published between 2019 and 2025. The analysis reveals that contractual language alone is insufficient to ensure implementation: coverage of specific metadata elements varied considerably across publishers and agreements, and explicit provisions do not consistently translate into higher coverage. A notable near-absence of ROR ID coverage across most agreements highlights gaps that undermine institutional attribution in research assessment and bibliometric analyses, while CC BY licence adoption is highest where agreements mandate it as the sole permissible licence.

Can fully recommend! Great way to learn new ways to do large-scale bibliometrics analyses using multiple datas sources!

SSRN, the social-sciences preprint site, has five times higher hallucinated/fake citations than arXiv, bioRxiv etc, according to a new study (not yet peer-reviewed). By @stokel.bsky.social | @nature.com www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Hallucinated citations highest in social sciences preprints site

More than 140,000 fake citations across four research repositories were identified in papers and preprints published in 2025 alone.

This preprint on hallucinated citations suggests a greater problem on SSRN (reaching 1.9% of total by August 2025) than arXiv, bioRxiv, or PMC (variously 0.2-0.4%). Intriguing if methods hold up; study restricts itself to looking for references with non-existent titles. arxiv.org/abs/2605.07723
