We just published a JOSIS paper on what spatial data science languages have in common and what they still need. Insights from across the R, Python & Julia ecosystems.

I have been approached by an editor of #JOSS (https://fediscience.org/@joss@fosstodon.org) who told me about #JOSE (https://jose.theoj.org/ - for which I could not find a Mastodon handle).

The idea is to provide a low-hurdle academic reward for open access educational material -- with a particular computational emphasis.

Thing is, that you hardly get an academic “paper” if you develop teaching material. So, this might be appealing for some folk here. 😉

Dear scientists, could we please agree on a "publication window"? Like one or two months a year in which you are allowed to publish. Then, during the rest of the year we can peacefully read those publications without new ones coming out every day. My list of downloaded, unread PDFs is really getting too long now! 📚

🎖 I am happy to officially share I received the Outstanding Student and PhD candidate Presentation (#OSPP) Award at the @EuroGeosciences conference this year for my poster titled: "Geomorphic landform monitoring with raster and vector data cubes".

We're delighted to announce that "Scaling Up with R and Arrow", by Nic Crane, Jonathan Keane and Neal Richardson is now available online at http://www.arrowrbook.com. In the book, we cover a lot of the practical details and theory behind working with Arrow in R. The paper version will be available soon! #rstats #apachearrow
Scaling Up With R and Arrow

It’s never been more evident that for-profit publishing simply does not align with the aims of scholarly inquiry

Academic journals are a lucrative scam – and we’re determined to change that

Giant publishers are bleeding universities dry, with profit margins that rival Google’s. So we decided to start our own, says academic Arash Abizadeh

Interested in #spatial #networks, #openstreetmap data, and #rstats ? Last week I presented the #sfnetworks package at #useR2024 and gave a simplified example of how it can be used to analyze OSM-based street networks. You can find a notebook with the code on GitHub: https://luukvdmeer.github.io/UseR2024/notebook.html

Working on the first #LiteratureReview paper of my PhD, it stroke me that besides #GoogleScholar the commonly recommended search interfaces #WebofScience and #Scopus are behind paywalls. What are the alternatives if you want to support #openscience and #reproduciblescience in an interdisciplinary study?
