How can community-informed metadata guidance become practical repository improvements? In this guest post, LMU Munich shares how the PID Network Germany pilot supports better DOI metadata workflows through the DataCite Metadata Generator - a reusable tool for metadata creation and validation with integrated PID support: https://doi.org/10.5438/acdm-0120

Dear scientific publishers:
Please 🛑 STOP 🛑 inserting spaces after each period and slash in a #DOI in a reference list.
DOIs are (some sort of) web links, not regular sentences. Therefore, it's doi.org/abc.de, not:
doi. org/ abc. de

The United Nations' 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development highlights the importance of energy-efficient software to reduce the global carbon footprint. Programming languages and execution models strongly influence software energy consumption, with interpreted languages generally being less efficient than compiled ones. Lua illustrates this trade-off: despite its popularity, it is less energy-efficient than greener and faster languages such as C. This paper presents an empirical study of Lua's runtime performance and energy efficiency across 25 official interpreter versions and just-in-time (JIT) compilers. Using a comprehensive benchmark suite, we measure execution time and energy consumption to analyze Lua's evolution, the impact of JIT compilation, and comparisons with other languages. Results show that all LuaJIT compilers significantly outperform standard Lua interpreters. The most efficient LuaJIT consumes about seven times less energy and runs seven times faster than the best Lua interpreter. Moreover, LuaJIT approaches C's efficiency, using roughly six times more energy and running about eight times slower, demonstrating the substantial benefits of JIT compilation for improving both performance and energy efficiency in interpreted languages.

"Science has a [...] set of infrastructure for handling identity, provenance, integrity, and discoverability. Systems like arXiv, DOIs, CrossRef, Datacite, ORCID, OpenAlex, ROR, Retraction Watch, and PubMed form a kind of collaborative exoskeleton for scientific publishing and by extension, for modern scientific knowledge. Much as Github has been adapted for AI development, this infrastructure needs to be adapted for AI use in science."
