[I used to shore dive in the Straits Of Juan de Fucca, Washington State side, and Crescent Lake - so I chose that area as a CoNED example to explore; good memories, including of the 18 Wheeler Burger with pie & coffee in Joyce, WA on drizzly days]

New blog post on @lseimpactblog about our project. Why global databases are not enough, and why national scholarly infrastructures matter more than we think.

💡 https://blogs.lse.ac.uk/impactofsocialsciences/2026/04/01/by-linking-national-scholarly-infrastructures-we-can-better-understand-the-impact-of-global-research/

The solution is not to replace global systems, but to connect national ones into a network of interoperable, open infrastructures.

By linking national scholarly infrastructures we can better understand the impact of global research - LSE Impact

Global scholarly information systems provide poor coverage for social science and humanities research taking place outside of the anglophone world and in languages other than English. Paul Donner, Stephan Stahlschmidt, Serhii Nazarovets, Igor Cojocaru, Irina Cojocaru, Marina Razmadze and Shushanik Sargsyan highlight a range of national initiatives taking place aimed at improving scholarly data for

Today, the large-scale SCORE program publishes its primary findings—865 researchers examined reproducibility, robustness, and replicability across the social and behavioral sciences, testing how well humans and machines can forecast replication outcomes.
Results are out now in three papers + five preprints published in Nature.

📈 The Architecture of Innovation: On jokes, genius, and the AI economy we haven't built yet - Heliox: Where Evidence Meets Empathy 🇨🇦‬

📖 Read: There is a moment — you've felt it — when a joke lands just right. Not a polite chuckle, not a social reflex, but the real thing: a full-body release, something almost involuntary, like a hiccup of the soul. For a split second, your b...

📢 Neue Richtlinie zur Sicherung von Forschungsdaten in Baden-Württemberg:
Um Datensouveränität zu gewährleisten, müssen Forschungsdaten zusätzlich ausgedruckt archiviert werden.

💬 „Gedruckte Daten sind unabhängig von Software, Formaten und Serverausfällen – und damit die nachhaltigste Form der Datenspeicherung“, so die Landesinitiative bwFDM. Ein entsprechender Leitfaden („Print Data Management Plan“, PDMP) werde derzeit erarbeitet.
