For everyone working in the field of research data management: In the News Digest you will find a link to a recording of a talk by Till Biskup, I highly recommend watching it. A must-watch for me at least.

You think about using an electronic Lab Journal (ELN), but don't know how to start?

Here is an overview over centrally hosted #ELN installations at german universities.

And there are even repositories that allow to put an embargo or limited access on the data. In case you need some access control.

It doesn't have to be a tone of work, when data sharing is the goal from the beginning. Sure, you need to adjust workflows, but eventually, you save time and make data re-use easier for yourself. And it was shown that in most cases, researchers are not providing the data if asked for it.

I think that is this my new favourite AI image...
And I am also very worried about what is happening in the background.

From a research data management perspective, I really want to thank you for publishing the data in a repository with documentation as well as using the data availability statement in the article.
I will for sure use this as an example in one of my workshops! :)

I thought I might revisit this blog post. It's been a while now so if anyone on #Chemsky has been through the ChemDraw/ChemOffice license renewal, and is free to talk about their experience, get in touch and we'll see what the state of play is. 🧪 chemistryandcomputers.wordpress.com/2022/09/30/c...
ChemDraw price jumps 500%
OK rather than string a bunch of tweets together I’m going to try and collect my thoughts here. This page will be evolving over the course of the weekend. Forgive me if it seems a bit higgled…
