🇪🇺Misleading headlines: #chatcontrol is not dead, it is being privatized! 🚨

EU governments voted today for:
🔍 Warrantless mass surveillance
🆔 Mandatory ID for everyone (End of anonymity)
🚫 Digital house arrest for teens

The fight continues! 👇 […]

3 minutes can be long or short depending on the context. That is why this year's DataCite community survey is the shortest we ever built & should take you 3 minutes at max. This will help us for 2026 or rather 525,600 minutes. 😉 Thanks a lot for your support! Please share if you love short surveys!

Enhancing repository integration with Crossref - Crossref
Repositories are home to a wide range of scholarly content; they often archive theses, dissertations, preprints, datasets, and other valuable outputs. These records are an important part of the research ecosystem and should be connected to the broader scholarly record. But to truly serve their purpose, repository records need to be connected to each other, to the broader research ecosystem, and to the people behind the research. Metadata is what makes that possible. Enhancing metadata is a way to tell a fuller, more accurate story of research. It helps surface relationships between works, people, funders, and institutions, and allows us as a community to build and use a more connected, more useful network of knowledge - what Crossref calls the ‘Research Nexus’.
