Great thoughful blog post from @jeroenbosman and @Jeroenson on @upstream: The resilience of open science in times of crisis.

Graphical model of resilience aspects during a threat/intrusion event. It connects 5 types of threats (potential threat, actual threat, encounter/attack, incursion and destruction) to 5 resilience aspects (prevention, protection, resistance, withstanding, repair) that together form options for resilience for systems, communities and individuals

If your company depends on open source software, you probably […]

Great to see Pangaea / Helmholtz @helmholtz involved in this - and simultaneouly intrigued on the details, esp. where it says 'formally working with [NOAA]"?

Also good to see the update re: public data.

In thinking about alternatives for #pubmed (coverage and functionalities) I wondered how many PubMed records of recent years don't have a DOI.

Numbers for (journal) articles, reviews, preprints and retractions from 2022-2024, from OpenAlex (pub and source types are OpenAlex' classification)

Table of (journal) articles, reviews, preprint and retraction with pmid only or with pmid & doi.

Table rows:
