Everything is #openscience first, and his thesis contains, besides a hefty publication list, also a nice section of other research output https://objectstore.surf.nl/mastodon/media_attachments/files/114/766/893/766/464/823/original/38b834219d2d4ace.png npub18sc6msmlkncy3m4ehp6qg0367zt86edrrf4wfad3q83wywmmw0rqyaa6va Egon Willighagen scientific discussion moved from "letters to the editor" to PubPeer. There is a lot to be said about that, but one thing that must be said is that PubPeer can disappear. But Letters to the Editor are preserved, for better or worse. if not mistaken, it was @nprofile…qpa7 that pointed me at #ICCS2025 to a 1977-1978 discussion via such letters. I looked them up, and annotated some of the citations with the Citation Typing Ontology, made @nprofile…q2lc and put them in @nprofile…jvpm #openscience #cheminformatics https://objectstore.surf.nl/mastodon/media_attachments/files/114/726/471/768/979/262/original/2a3bbf8df860e235.png npub18sc6msmlkncy3m4ehp6qg0367zt86edrrf4wfad3q83wywmmw0rqyaa6va Egon Willighagen Fwd: "The women honoured in flowering plant genera: From myth to reality" https://doi.org/10.1002/ppp3.70050 "In this study, we analyse a dataset of flowering plant genera named for women both real and mythical to understand historical and social patterns in naming genera to honour women." #openscience https://objectstore.surf.nl/mastodon/media_attachments/files/114/705/745/484/709/722/original/b860525e7ded33c7.jpg npub18sc6msmlkncy3m4ehp6qg0367zt86edrrf4wfad3q83wywmmw0rqyaa6va Egon Willighagen Note to self: urgently check all papers published with Elsevier "Elsevier AI summary ‘trashed researcher’s work’ and took weeks to fix" https://www.timeshighereducation.com/news/ai-summary-trashed-authors-work-and-took-weeks-be-corrected npub18sc6msmlkncy3m4ehp6qg0367zt86edrrf4wfad3q83wywmmw0rqyaa6va Egon Willighagen very exciting that the Journal of Cheminformatics ([email protected] ) authors continue to submit CiTO annotation :) https://doi.org/10.1186/s13321-025-01009-0 That brings it to 24 journal articles and 35 preprints.

Congrats to her and her collaborators and supervision team! npub18sc6msmlkncy3m4ehp6qg0367zt86edrrf4wfad3q83wywmmw0rqyaa6va Egon Willighagen I have an open (educational) resource around the @nprofile…zddu and one GitHub action checks the links. Since I cite literature where that makes sense, a good number of HTTP links are to scientific literature. Those DOI links fail with the error in the screenshot.

The approach is simple, compatible with the Springer Nature platform. SN could have made it fly. The uptake was promising, but not deemed a success. One problem was (even this year) the problematic production phase, where CiTO annotation is caught in many other problems there. #cito #publishing #springerNature #FAIR https://objectstore.surf.nl/mastodon/media_attachments/files/113/088/948/605/502/315/original/7ae68a7017bf7469.png npub18sc6msmlkncy3m4ehp6qg0367zt86edrrf4wfad3q83wywmmw0rqyaa6va Egon Willighagen @npub16nf…q6as but easy to solve.
