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.

Funder information can now be added to bioRxiv preprints. Incorporation of funding organizations into the Research Organization Registry (ROR) means this is available as standardized metadata for articles.

How can you include #OpenScience practices in your teaching? Read how two Dutch professors -- Elen Le Foll and Ewout Meijer, in linguistics and psychology respectively -- asked students to preregister their term-paper analyses. Interesting idea! […]

I can’t recommend the latest #jurassicpark movie. Even for a fan, this one is by far the worst of the sequel. Professionally I liked the #openscience subplot where Scarlett Johansson and Jonathan Bailey dedicate the dinosaur DNA samples to the public domain instead of a pharmaceutical company #CC0.
