Can somebody please explain to me why there is a fundraising campaign ongoing for #zbmed when #OpenAlex is already up an running ?
https://openalex.org/
https://www.zbmed.de

Are we again spreading money in Europe over multiple solutions ?
Or is there a fundamental difference between these two publication databases ?

The PubMed trap: Germany’s dangerous data poker in medicine.

#ZBMED is clearly very sensitive to the community concern about being suddenly left high & dry: They are moving as quickly as they can to have an emergency substitute as soon as possible, even though that would of necessity be a very no-frills, basic service
