For my English-speaking friends:
The preprint of my article here covers the founding history and backgrounds of the #DataRescue collective @SafeguardingResearch and its #OpenSource platform #SciOp + includes an IT librarians take on this project: https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.19218030

This is #Fediverse history not to be forgotten, that's why it is also uploaded to SciOp itself, so feel free to seed: https://sciop.net/datasets/safeguarding-research-and-culture-sciop-article-2026-german-preprint
Thanks to @jonny for helping me out on this one :))

This paper is submitted to be published with the special issue "Out of Order: Queer, Critical and Inclusive Perspectives on Order and Disruption" of the German library journal "Bibliothek Forschung und Praxis" later this year. CfP by @fuzzyleapfrog et al. is still open until mid June if you want to contribute as well: https://doi.org/10.1515/bfp-2025-0060

If any German-speaking person has the time to translate my article, go for it, it's under CC-BY-SA-NC.

Happy #WorldBackupDay everyone :)

Safeguarding Research & Culture und SciOp: Datenrettung in Zeiten digitaler Bücherverbrennungen

Anfang 2025 sah sich die Scientific Community in den USA einer bisher in diesem Umfang nie dagewesenen politisch motivierten Datensäuberung durch die dort neu gewählte Regierung ausgesetzt. In einem Teil des alternativen sozialen Netzwerks Fediverse organisierte sich zu dieser Zeit eine Gruppe engagierter Freiwilliger, um letztendlich ein Guerillakollektiv zur Datenrettung zu bilden, das heute unter den Namen Safeguarding Research & Culture (SRC) bekannt ist. Aus dem SRC-Kollektiv heraus entstand wenig später auch die Open-Source-Software und Plattform SciOp. Diese ermöglicht mittels einer Integration von Datenkatalog und BitTorrent-Tracker eine dezentral verteilte und koordinierte Datenhaltung, an der jede Person mit der Bereitstellung von eigenem Speicherplatz und Bandbreite teilnehmen kann, um eine bessere Verfügbarkeit und zensurresistente Bereitstellung der geretteten Daten zu gewährleisten. Dieser Beitrag zeichnet die Entstehungsgeschichte des Projekts nach und stellt dessen Besonderheiten im Vergleich zu konventionellen Ansätzen und Softwarelösungen im Bibliotheksbereich heraus. Es kann aufgezeigt werden, dass im begrenzten Umfang bekannte bibliothekarische Praktiken adaptiert wurden. Im Gegensatz zu traditionellen Bibliotheken bestehen jedoch neben dem besonderen technologischen Fundament des Projekts auch deutliche Unterschiede hinsichtlich dem Sammelschwerpunkt, der Organisationspraxis und den Partizipationsmöglichkeiten.

Can your analysis be reproduced by someone else? By you, in six months?

Reproducibility isn't just about publishing code — it's about documenting your environment, your data, and every decision along the way.

Small steps: use virtual environments, pin your dependencies, write a README.

New blog post: Demystifying #ResearchData #Interoperability

Ari Asmi shares the highlights from a workshop (co-organised by the three TDCCs) on "the ugly duckling of the [#FAIRdata] acronym": Interoperability.

> Why would anyone take the effort to find obscure terms from complex technical vocabularies for our metadata, if the reason for doing this is unknown?

> (…) interoperability information is crucial for finding and reusing research data(…)

Demystifying research data interoperability

Of the FAIR principles, the ones relating to interoperability are the most challenging. Ari Asmi of the Leiden University Libraries’ Centre for Digital Scholarship is an interoperability expert and organised a workshop in February 2026, the key highlights of which are illustrated in this blog.

Want to share research data with collaborators but don't trust random cloud services?

We wrote a survival guide to data sharing services in the Rhine-Ruhr region — covering institutional repositories, discipline-specific archives, and when to use what.

In this preprint, I investigate the simultaneous use of multiple metadata schemas at research data repositories. The analysis covers how eight disciplinary research data repositories from the geosciences and social sciences use disciplinary metadata schemas and the @datacite Metadata Schema, and how two metadata records describing the same dataset compare.

What stands out in this call is the focus on explicit models, traceability, and responsibility, from provenance and uncertainty to reproducibility. Computational methods here strengthen interpretation, not replace it. #complexityscience #knowledgerepresentation #researchdata
Day 1 of the consortium: strong progress on FAIR, DMPs & interoperability. FAIR becoming operational & measurable; DMPs shifting to metrics-driven evaluation. SKG-IF advancing interoperable data with APIs in pilots. #FAIRdata #OpenScience #DMP #Interoperability #RDA #ResearchData #SKG
