Doing Data Science on the Shoulders of Giants: The Value of Open Source Software for the Data Science Community

Open source software is ubiquitous throughout data science, and enables the work of nearly every data scientist in some way or another. Open source projects, however, are disproportionately maintained by a small number of individuals, some of whom are institutionally supported, but many of whom do this maintenance on a purely volunteer basis. The health of the data science ecosystem depends on the support of open source projects, on an individual and institutional level.

Open North – Building trust in data, for the common good

Open North is a not-for-profit organization dedicated to advancing the common good. Working alongside governments and civic-minded organizations of all sizes, we provide data expertise to enhance decision-making, drive innovation, optimize public and civic services, and address society's most pressing challenges.

Open source is the electric vehicle of digital policy

Open source is very popular these days, not least due to the open-source strategy that the European Commission announced last week as part of the tech sovereignty package. While there is a lot to criticise about that strategy (exaggerated goals, misleading numbers etc), the one thing I would like to

You are Crossref - Crossref

Crossref runs open infrastructure to link research objects, entities, and actions—creating a lasting and reusable scholarly record that underpins open science. Together with our >25,000 members in 167 countries, we drive metadata exchange and support 2.1 billion monthly API queries, facilitating global research communication, for the benefit of society.

Introducing the Open Exchange Architecture

Scientific communication still privileges narrative over utility, while the data, code, protocols, and computation that underpin modern research are pushed into hard-to-access supplements. Rowan Cockett introduces the Open Exchange Architecture (OXA), an emerging, community-driven standard designed to unbundle research from its paper-shaped container and expose the rich evidence underneath it.

Plan S and Open Access in Latin America: Interview with Dominique Babini - International Science Council
