It was a huge pleasure to join the @engkiosk talking with Andy and Wolfgang about many background details of Ada & #Zangemann.

If you speak German and are interested in details about the journey or you just want to listen to a #podcast episode about #softwarefreedom that makes you feel good, this is for you.

Thanks for the fantastic collection, @publicvoit. I have recommend this to numerous people over the last years. Unfortunately the links to the CISA Report is broken as the document was taken down. Maybe you like to update the article with the link using the Wayback Machine.

Your dataset deserves a DOI — just like your paper.

A persistent identifier makes your data citable, discoverable, and linked to your publication (important aspects of the #FAIR principles). Repositories like Zenodo, or your institutional repo (should) assign DOIs automatically.

No DOI = your data might as well not exist.

Working with personal data in your research? You need to think about GDPR.

Informed consent, anonymization, data minimization — these aren't bureaucratic hurdles. They protect your participants and your research.

Plan for data protection from the start, not as an afterthought.
A Datamanagement Plan (#DMP) can assist you.

How do you manage your files? Do you use a #GUI? a #TUI?

I ❤️ terminals, #shells, and #fzf. Combined with #JohnnyDecimal, here's how I manage my files!

Good data organization isn't glamorous — but it's what makes research reproducible.

This peer-reviewed paper from the Data Science Journal provides a complete folder structure template for research projects, plus guidance READMEs and metadata templates in Markdown.
They also talk about #johnnydecimal – an approach we also like.
