John Lewis, Data Operations Manager at Cambridge University Press, tells us why and how Cambridge uses ROR in this latest installment of our short case study series.

Will Landau presentó recientemente el R-multiverse, una nueva forma de publicar paquetes de R durante una “conversación con la comunidad” de rOpenSci ¹ .Después de ese evento, una sesión de cotrabajo permitió una conversación aún más intensa entre Will y el equipo de administración de R-multiverse, Jeroen Ooms y Maëlle Salmon, y personas interesadas de la comunidad.

Will Landau recently introduced the R-multiverse, a new way to publish R packages, during an rOpenSci community call. ¹ After that event, a coworking session allowed even more discussion between Will, his R-multiverse fellow administrators Jeroen Ooms and Maëlle Salmon, and community members.

Two parts of the Library of Identification Resources have gotten major updates in the last year. First, the taxon coverage field (also labeled “For identifying …” in some places) is now linked to external databases, namely Wikidata and GBIF. Second, the scoring and sorting of search results in the Find resources tool was made more transparent and visible.

As a nonprofit membership association and open infrastructure provider for research organizations around the world, DataCite’s day-to-day operations and strategic directions are actively shaped by ongoing community engagement and input.  DataCite steering and working groups are one of the primary ways in which community members can get more involved in our work.

Wednesday 22nd October 2025—Crossref, the open scholarly infrastructure nonprofit, today releases an enhanced dashboard showing metadata coverage and individual organisations’ contributions to documenting the process and outputs of scientific research in the open.

This month, a quiet yet momentous event occurred in DataCite infrastructure: the registration of our 100 millionth DOI.  100 million is a huge number. And it says a lot about global adoption of DataCite and the scale of our community and infrastructure.  But the bigger story behind this exciting headline is about what this number represents. So we are marking the milestone with a few reflections about its broader significance.

With this blog post, the science blog archive Rogue Scholar starts the formal process to adhere to the Principles of Open Scholarly Infrastructure (POSI). To do so, an organization has to perform a self-audit of its compliance with the principles, with a focus on principles and not hard rules. POSI was updated to version 2.0 this October, with the changes marked up in a separate document.

The Arab States Research and Education Network (ASREN) and the Synchrotron-light for Experimental Science and Applications in the Middle East (SESAME) have partnered to advance open science and research data management in the region. Through support from DataCite’s Global Access Fund (GAF), this collaboration focuses on building the technical infrastructure needed to support experimental data in line with the FAIR principles.
