I just saw the new board members of @ORCID_Org and immediately recognized familiar names. I am really happy to see @Lisalibrarian and Alla Zharinova of our partner library in Kyiv, the SSTL, in there.

Congratulations to them and the other candidates, of course, too: Judi Zielke, Ellen Tise, César Augusto Rendón-Valencia, María Soledad Bravo Marchant and Clare Appavoo.

It seems like #OpenAlex has a new(?) frontend, at least I didn't know about it. It's possible to filter now for different entities etc., here for example for me as an author:

Search filter: https://openalex.org/works?sort=publication_date%3Adesc&column=display_name,publication_year,type,open_access.is_oa,cited_by_count&page=1&filter=authorships.author.id%3AA5021239193

API call: https://api.openalex.org/works?page=1&filter=authorships.author.id:A5021239193&sort=publication_date:desc

Best thing: In the top right corner is a button that leads directly to the API call for this query!

Thanks, @OpenAlex!

Interesting article about #OpenCitations Meta (by the
@opencitations folks around @essepuntato:

OpenCitations Meta

OpenCitations Meta is a new database that contains bibliographic metadata of scholarly publications involved in citations indexed by the OpenCitations infrastructure. It adheres to Open Science principles and provides data under a CC0 license for maximum reuse. The data can be accessed through a SPARQL endpoint, REST APIs, and dumps. OpenCitations Meta serves three important purposes. Firstly, it enables disambiguation of citations between publications described using different identifiers from various sources. For example, it can link publications identified by DOIs in Crossref and PMIDs in PubMed. Secondly, it assigns new globally persistent identifiers (PIDs), known as OpenCitations Meta Identifiers (OMIDs), to bibliographic resources without existing external persistent identifiers like DOIs. Lastly, by hosting the bibliographic metadata internally, OpenCitations Meta improves the speed of metadata retrieval for citing and cited documents. The database is populated through automated data curation, including deduplication, error correction, and metadata enrichment. The data is stored in RDF format following the OpenCitations Data Model, and changes and provenance information are tracked. OpenCitations Meta and its production. OpenCitations Meta currently incorporates data from Crossref, DataCite, and the NIH Open Citation Collection. In terms of semantic publishing datasets, it is currently the first in data volume.

Interesting paper on "The Role of Universities in the Implementation of Persistent Identifiers (PIDs)" by @scidecode / @scinoptica citing our TAPIR project (https://projects.tib.eu/tapir):

"Another very recent example is the analysis conducted by the BMBF-funded TAPIR project led by the TIB Hannover in Germany to explore various partially automated PID-based reporting workflows."

It's referencing Conference IDs, too (see https://doi.org/10.5334/dsj-2022-011).

I was trying to find #scholarlymetadata on #CostActions in #CORDIS, but I couldn't find anything. Same for #OpenAIRE. Did I look for the wrong examples or in a wrong way, or is it really not included?

CC: @CORDIS_EU @sAuhunas @KaliuzhnaN

@OpenAlex has included a #funders entity: https://docs.openalex.org/api-entities/funders

Great news, although I'm not sure how coverage and precision can be evaluated. I didn't find links between funders and singe publications and vice versa.

Edit: The pages for single funders do not seem to work currently, too, but I'm sure this will be fixed soon: https://openalex.org/F4320321114.
