⚡️ From CERN with energy! Our team is at Open Science Fair 2025, where researchers, developers, educators, and policy-makers unite to accelerate Open Science through collaboration. #OpenAIRE #OSFair2025 #OpenScience #CERN #FAIR #opensciencecommunity

I'm wondering if COAR Notify (linked data notifications and activity streams) could be a good technical mechanism to enable or support the COMET model (www.cometadata.org/the-comet-mo...), as a way to share metadata enrichments in a transparent, decentralized, and community-driven way.

EPFL, ETH Zurich & CSCS just released Apertus, Switzerland’s first fully open-source large language model. Trained on 15T tokens in 1,000+ languages, it’s built for transparency, responsibility & the public good. Read more: actu.epfl.ch/news/apertus...

A brilliant guide, exactly the kind we need more of! Learn how to boost the visibility of your institutional repository. The TOBI (Towards Open Bibliometric Indicators) project delivers practical tips with real-world examples. Huge thanks! doi.org/10.3929/ethz...

Je vous ai déjà dit que je vais au travail en bateau ? Quelle que soit la météo, chaque trajet est un spectacle visuel.

I highly recommend the presentation by our colleague Gaël Bernard. It demonstrates how data from an institutional repository, combined with generative AI, can help identify relevant labs and expert researchers for EU calls for proposals doi.org/10.5075/epfl...

This morning at #LIBER2025, Miriam Petrilli delivered a powerful presentation on "Adapting Infosphere: Leveraging an OER Information Literacy Platform". A great showcase of how open educational resources can transform the way we teach and support information literacy. 👏📚 infosphere.epfl.ch

In 2024, the libraries of EPFL and UNIGE joined forces to launch the “Journée romande des formateur·trices en bibliothèque”. Today at #LIBER2025, Elodie Schwob, Miriam Petrilli, and Vincenzo Palatella are proud to present a poster showcasing the journey behind this collaborative success. 🚀📚

The COAR Power Networking session at #LIBER2025 was especially popular since I was joined by COAR Executive Board member, Nathalie Fargier from HAL and CCDS. Repos are going to be more important than ever in the new world of AI. Join the COAR community in charting our path forward!

I'll be giving a poster this week at #WOOC2025 in Bologna @opencitations.bsky.social @barcelonadori.bsky.social on the @datacite.org @makedatacount.bsky.social data citation corpus and its problems. The poster is on Zenodo doi.org/10.5281/zeno...

One key point we should push harder in negotiations with scientific publishers: ensure they submit rich, complete metadata to Crossref when minting DOIs (still very inconsistent across publishers), and always make OA full-text PDFs machine-readable and retrievable.

Cette slide illustre parfaitement les missions jouées de + en + par notre dépôt institutionnel en tant que trusted source. Effectivement il y une hybridation avec un RIMS/CRIS. En mm tps c'est un levier fort pour améliorer la qualité dans une logique de gouvernance des données #jetabes2025

je boue intérieurement à l'écoute de cette table ronde notamment sur la partie recrutement #jetabes2025

How does the adoption of preprinting differ between European countries? Preprint adoption is significantly higher in Western and Northern European countries than in their Southern and Eastern European neighbors. Switzerland has the highest preprint adoption in Europe.

On est pas mal avec Infoscience : DSpace-CRIS est compatbible avec le schema CERIF (modèle entité-relation), on a une intégration ORCID-EPFL, on utilise ROR (mais pas encore pour le niveau Labos). On a un pipeline qui alimente depuis plusieurs sources (wos, scopus, crossref, openalex, datacite)

POSI : des principes à suivre pour les infrastructures de science ouverte

Il y a encore pas mal de choses bizarres dans OpenAlex. Par exemple cette entité source : "Deleted Journal" qui renvoie + de 500 000 resultats dont 90 000 en 2024... openalex.org/works?page=1...
