Warum wir Forschungs-Daten aus...
to any academics who want their work to outlast their current hype cycle, the next publisher downsizing, or government book burning: - make your work available for free. - as a PDF or HTML document (or, fine, JATS) - from a URL that requires no login or javascript to access. having your work only available behind some heinous publisher paywall or 'enhanced reader' is a straightforward statement that you don't care about your work being part of the shared pursuit of human understanding. it is, in fact, your job to make sure that your work available. sincerely, someone trying to preserve your work.

Whether it's #SafeguardingResearch archives, planning #EuroStack architecture, maintaining research code on #Forgejo or engaging local communities in sensor network maintenance; there's no downside to preparation
You don't say "It Can't Happen Here" but you're making space to think about it, while getting the day job done

Au weia! Was soll man da noch sagen 🙄😬
Ich teile die Frustration! Ich persönlich habe seit mehr als 12 Jahren versucht, Bewusstsein für das was jetzt #safeguardingresearch heisst zu wecken, z.T explizit mit PubMed als Beispiel. Ich kann nur feststellen, dass ich damit vollständig versagt habe. Auch im Nachhinein fällt mir aber auch nichts ein, was ich ausser trommeln und schreien hätte machen können?
