MetaROR’s approach to Crossref DOI registration

Innovation in scientific publishing and its implications for Crossref DOI registration practices - MetaROR’s approach

doi.org/10.64000/vfe...

Together with @andre-brasil.bsky.social I just published this blog post about @crossref.bsky.social DOI registration practices for @metaror.bsky.social.

We just tipped over 24,000 active organisational members and also reached 165 countries with the addition of the *University of Nouakchott*, bringing representation and governance from *Mauritania* for the first time! A big welcome to them 🇲🇷 🤩

OpenAI launches Prism, a new AI workspace for scientists | TechCrunch OpenAI has launched a new scientific workspace program called Prism, which integrates AI into existing standards for composing research papers.

Nooooooo! No thanks. Nope. techcrunch.com/2026/01/27/o...

Join us tomorrow to learn about Crossref's Grant Linking System/Grant DOIs and hear how the open grant metadata created by our funder members is being put to good use in Dimensions and Altmetric.

Oh good! It takes a bit of time - quite engrossing - but also depends on the topic; sporty ones I deffo never get haha

Graphic announcing new language versions of the Barcelona Declaration on Open Research Information. The image reads “Now available in Arabic · Japanese · Romanian” and “18 languages and growing”. Speech bubbles display greetings in different languages, including “Salut”, “こんにちは” (Japanese), and “مرحبا” (Arabic), on a light background with abstract line patterns in purple and yellow.

🌍 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐁𝐚𝐫𝐜𝐞𝐥𝐨𝐧𝐚 𝐃𝐞𝐜𝐥𝐚𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐢𝐬 𝐧𝐨𝐰 𝐚𝐯𝐚𝐢𝐥𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐞 𝐢𝐧 𝐀𝐫𝐚𝐛𝐢𝐜, 𝐉𝐚𝐩𝐚𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐞, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐑𝐨𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐢𝐚𝐧
Hello | مرحبًا | こんにちは | Salut

With these new translations, the Declaration is now available in 𝟏𝟖 𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐮𝐚𝐠𝐞𝐬, supporting engagement with open research information across regions and contexts.

Sure, but in the UK the PACE Act and GDPR means the Police have to go through legal channels to request footage. What I'm saying is that can easily change, especially if your Goverment/Agencies do not respect laws. Probably best to just not have the tech at all.

Yep, it’s happening. As predicted.

All done with the tacit approval of the @royalsociety.org, an organisation that has sadly lost its way and yet still claims to speak for the scientific community. It doesn't speak for me.

Corrections, biases, and humility in science: Tuan V. Nguyen escaped Vietnam in 1981 as part of the mass “boat people” exodus of refugees, taking to dangerous waters just a few months after his older brother tried the same and disappeared. Today, he's a professor and bone researcher in Australia.

Congratulations!!

Have you met the Wikipede? In another universe, maybe it has been Wikipedia's logo for over two decades. Community members submitted many designs, proposed changes, and debated them openly 🧵⬇️ (1/5)

Here's how the Earth article looked in 2001 when Wikipedia was a month old, long before Wikipedians realized their fledgling online encyclopedia would be read and edited by astronauts in space someday

Some guest editors pack special issues with their own articles Thousands have penned more than one-third of a journal issue, raising conflict-of-interest concerns

#SpecialIssues have fueled the growth of some of the largest #OpenAccess publishers. Does a journal that allows a #GuestEditor to both plan a special issue and write many articles in it have a conflict of interest? #scicomm #peerreview @science.org www.science.org/content/arti...

Yay! All good luck to your new venture!
