The yearly report of the @tibhannover has been published, and I'm very happy that the #BarcelonaDeclaration on #OpenResearchInformation (ORI) has such a prominent place in it: https://www.tib-report.eu/en/2024#mehropenness

A bit below you can find a section on 15 years of @datacite , which was co-funded by TIB, and is a key actor in ORI, too: https://www.tib-report.eu/en/2024#jahredatacite

I'm looking forward to 2025, which will bring a lot more activities in this field.
