We spend our lives hardening #GrapheneOS devices and routing traffic through #Tor, but what about the physical packets arriving at your front door?

In Ep 19, we step away from the screen to talk about the Paper Trail

We cover:
The MICT Program
Informed Delivery
Physical Hardening
Your mailbox shouldn't be a leak. It’s time to shred the trail.

With 180M+ records and nearly 2 billion citation links, Crossref's #metadata keeps evolving thanks to a global community of 24,000 organisations and powerful automated matching.

In our latest blog, we break down the layers of metadata enrichment and what's next for improving quality and completeness. https://doi.org/10.64000/h6w1v-r1017

Be honest, #MailboxWarriors:

How much of today’s mail was addressed to your actual legal name vs. "Current Resident" or an alias? 📬

	100% Legal Name
	Mostly Legal Name
	Mostly 'Resident'
	I use a P.O. Box

Does anyone have a guidance of useful #metadata for the documentation of #XRF datasets in #archaeology and #culturalheritage domains?

After 10 years, Crossref's Event data API endpoint will sunset on 23 April 2026. The good news: To make data citation relationships easier to find, we're launching a new data citation beta API endpoint 🎉

This new API endpoint will surface data citation relationships already present in Crossref's #metadata, making it easier to track how datasets are reused and cited. https://doi.org/10.64000/rzbn5-wjy58

Happy to share our new piece (w/ @MsPhelps) on #metadata completeness in @crossref and submission systems was published by #PLOSone. All data, code and peer review openly available. We'd be delighted to continue the conversation with publishers and submission system vendors:

Manuscript submission systems and metadata completeness in Crossref: Patterns and associations

The importance of open research information, particularly publication metadata, is widely recognised. Crossref is one of the most important infrastructures for registering open metadata as part of DOI record registration. It is widely known, however, that the metadata of many publications is far from complete, with many publishers making certain metadata openly available, but failing to do so for other metadata elements. Publishers’ ability to register this metadata with Crossref depends on their capacity to capture and retain this data in their production workflows. Manuscript submission systems are an important, yet largely overlooked, factor in the extent to which publishers make metadata available through Crossref. In this paper, we present the results of an analysis investigating the relation between the level of metadata that publishers deposit with Crossref and the submission systems that they deploy for their journals. We have looked at the 153 publishers with the largest amounts of publications in Crossref and concentrate on the four most commonly used systems: Editorial Manager, ScholarOne, Open Journal Systems (OJS) and eJournalPress. We show that some submission systems appear better suited to capturing certain metadata elements. However, there are always cases where publishers using the same system differ widely in the level of metadata they register, suggesting that technology is not the only prohibiting factor and other considerations are at play.

We spend so much time hardening our #GrapheneOS devices and sandboxing our apps, but we often leave our front doors wide open to analog tracking. 📬

In Episode 19 of Impractical Privacy, we dive into:
🔹 The MICT program
🔹 The Informed Delivery trap
🔹 Physical Defense

Your residence shouldn't be a data point on a broker's map. It’s time to shred the paper trail. ✂️
