Great interview with our Office for Open Research Data Stewardship Coordinator, Tristan Martin, talking about all things #datastewardship. I had a brilliant time last month supporting the Data Stewardship project's first event in an exciting new event series called Research Data Conversations.
Tristan Martin offers a glimpse into his pivotal role at the Office for Open Research, highlighting the exciting projects he's driving in the #DataStewardship sphere. As a community leader, he's committed to nurturing a spirit of cooperation & creativity.
Meet the Data Stewardship Community Lead
In this interview we get to know more about Tristan Martin, his role in the Office for Open Research and the plans for the Data Stewardship community he leads.

This is ridiculous. Indexes not even allowed to store the _abstracts_ of papers. That is, the thing that lets you ascertain if you want to read the full article.
After Springer in 2022, now Elsevier forbids OpenAlex to store abstracts of Closed Access papers.

We think this is a worrying trend, hindering the discoverability of research. @relx.bsky.social Is this what you mean with 'Empowering Open Science' ?
