At the end of October, I submitted a paper that’s been hanging over me for a couple of years. I’ve been in the habit of tracking nearly all my submissions since I started out in palaeontology, it happens that this one is number 50 in the list. It feels like an interesting time to stop and take stock of them all.

\n
\"\"

NHMUK PV R5937, “The Archbishop”, cervical vertebra S (probably C7). A. Reconstruction of right lateral view with neural spine, prezygapophysis, diapophysis, parapophysus, condyle and cervical rib restored. Most anatomical features are as in the reconstruction of Cervical V: only unique elements are labelled. B. Left lateral view. C. Dorsal view with anterior to the right. D. Posterior view. E. Right lateral view. F. Anterior view. Scale bar 20 cm.
And, no, the recently submitted paper in question is not the Archbishop description. I just tossed this image in because, hey, this is Sauropod Vertebra Picture of the Week.

\n

Before I get into the details of what happened to those submissions, I want to note that of the 31 papers listed in my CV, eight are not listed in my submissions database. Five of them I didn’t track because I was not the lead author and so not involved in the submission process (Sharing: public databases combat mistrust and secrecy; Running a question-and-answer website for science education: first hand experiences; Neural spine bifurcation in sauropod dinosaurs of the Morrison Formation: ontogenetic and phylogenetic implications; The Anatomy and Phylogenetic Relationships of \"Pelorosaurus\" becklesii (Neosauropoda, Macronaria) from the Early Cretaceous of England; The Moral Dimensions of Open). And three more don’t appear because they were minor works that didn’t go through the full formal review process (The Open Dinosaur Project; Better ways to evaluate research and researchers; Comment (Case 3700) \u2013 Support for Diplodocus carnegii Hatcher, 1901 being designated as the type species of Diplodocus Marsh, 1878).

\n

That means that the 50 submissions I have in my database represent only 23 published papers \u2014 a hit-rate of less than 50%. What’s going on?

\n

Well, first, my submissions list includes three “published” papers that aren’t on my CV: a Europasaurus entry in the Encyclopaedia Britannica, a nomenclatural correction to my Giraffatitan JVP paper, and the Barosaurus neck preprint. So that means 26 of the 50 submissions are published.

\n

What about the rest?

\n

Five more submissions are still open: the Barosaurus neck paper based on that preprint, still in review limbo after eight years; an accepted chapter in a long-delayed edited volume; a paper on Joni Mitchell that was given Major Revisions from a humanities journal for (I thought) spurious reasons; an anatomy paper at PeerJ whose revisions should soon be finished; and the newly submitted paper that I mentioned at the top of the page.

\n

Four more submissions, I have just abandoned. One was the original submission of what became Almost all known sauropod necks are incomplete and distorted, which I later resubmitted as new after I stalled for six years on responding to reviews. Another was a short note correcting a nomenclatural error in a Nature paper, which was basically ignored. Two more are chapters for the Phylonyms volume, which … well, that’s a long and depressing story for another day.

\n

That leaves 15 submissions that were rejected. Some of these are dead forever: for example, the first palaeo paper I ever submitted, a dinosaur diversity analysis, which I ended up “publishing” as a sort of post-preprint ten years later. Some I gave up on after rejection, such as an attempt to reconcile phylogenetic and Linnaean taxonomy (rejected twice), a brief summary of dinosaur diversity that I optimistically sent to Science when I was young and stupid, and an RWA-era comment on what a “private-sector research work” is (three times at different journals!).

\n

The other eight rejections, more happily, having been rejected from one or more journals eventually found homes elsewhere: my first (eventually) published paper, on phylogenetic nomenclature of diplodocoids; the Xenoposeidon description, our neck-posture paper (twice!), Why Giraffes Have Long Necks (also twice!), the Brontomerus description, and the paper on vertebral orientation (rejected from PeerJ as “out of scope”, idiotically).

\n

So the final score comes out as follows:

\n\n

What to make of all this?

\n

One thing to think about here is whether 50% is actually a decent batting average. Maybe a 50-50 chance of any given submission making it into the journal in question is not too bad?

\n

And the reason why that may be so is that persistence tends to pay off: of my ten rejected manuscripts, more than half have gone on to be published elsewhere \u2014 garnering 400 citations so far (42, 57, 156, 95, 48 and 2, in chronological order). That is a happy thought to have in mind the next time I run into a rejection.

\n

Another encouraging observation is that the rejections have tended to be concentrated towards the earlier part of my career: 14 of them in the eight years from 2004 to 2012, and only one in the twelve years since. I think there are three reasons for this, two of them good and one bad.

\n
    \n
  1. I’ve got better at writing papers. That’s good.
    2. \n
  2. I’ve got better at judging what to submit and where. I’ve stopped aiming optimistic opinion pieces at Science and Nature and Biological Reviews. That’s good, too.
    3. \n
  3. I’m better known now, and that’s bad. Or, at least, it’s bad that being better known means I get better outcomes.
    4. \n
\n

As scientists of course we strive to evaluate every work on its merits, not according to the name or status of the author, and deliberate actions are often taken to make sure that’s what’s done. For example, the reviewers don’t know who wrote the abstracts submitted to get a talk at SVP or SVPCA. And yet, and yet. The truth is that I have had a few ad-hominem reviews, and I’m sorry to say they were all concentrated in the first few years of my career.

\n

Dear SV-POW! readers: don’t be That Guy. When you’re asked to review a manuscript by someone you’ve never heard of, put the fact that you’ve never heard of him or her aside, and review the damn manuscript, not the author. That’s not too much to ask.

\n

Anyway, that’s my fifty submissions in 20 years. (In fact, now I come to check the dates, I see that today is exactly the 20th anniversary of getting back the Reject Without Review verdict on the first palaeo paper I even submitted!). Let’s hope I can get more efficient in the next 20.

\"BookThis self-published book is a bit of a mixed bag. There has been a lot of thought put into it but, in the process of explaining the author's theories, they've forgotten that brevity makes a book like this readable and enjoyable.

\n\n

It could really have done with a strong editor to tighten things up. The first two chapters are filler. There's a mini introduction to evolution and the basics of the theory of knowledge. I'm not really sure what they're doing there. It seems to be an attempt by the author to prove that he knows what he's talking about. While a short lesson in thermodynamics may be useful, it's just overkill here. The start of chapter three is in thrall to the Cult of St Jobs of Apple, but then finally starts talking about food production. Which is where things get interesting.

\n\n

The book takes a long time to get to its central point - raising and slaughtering animals for meat is inefficient. It's a poor use of energy, water, crops, and space. We should be able to do better.

\n\n

But then the book goes a bit off-piste. It returns to a graduate level intro to synthetic biology and modern day genetic manipulation. Again, interesting up to a point, but goes too far into the weeds for a book for the general public. There are some weird and inappropriate comments scattered through the chapters - he casually dismisses the concerns GMO opponents have about proprietary and secretive practices without ever acknowledging them. Similarly, he unfairly lumps vegans in with antivaxers. Despite hundreds of citations throughout the book, there's no footnote for that!

\n\n

Then there's a bizarre section on meditation. I sort of get the tie in to hedonism and desires but again feels like a brain dump of padding out content.

\n\n

Finally, we get an excellent chapter on \"beyond food\". He raises some interesting and exciting questions about the limits of our culinary imaginations. Why are we recreating burgers and steak when we could be making something better?

\n\n

Annoyingly, it only lightly touches on the history of meat-replacement technology. For example, there's a paragraph about the technology behind Quorn - but nothing about how the population boom in the mid-20th century led to fears of mass starvation.

\n\n

Can we \"3D print\" something similar to steak? Can we genetically engineer yeast to produce protiens similar to cheese? This book makes a powerful argument that the tech is nearly here and that it is a moral necessity.

\n\n

I've been a vegetarian since the turn of the century - and I've tried loads of \"meat substitutes\". A Quorn burger, once drenched in ketchup, mustard, and pickles, doesn't taste any different from a beef burger. I've eaten the Beyond Meat burgers and, again, they're hardly any different from the existing veggie-burgers.

\n\n

I get the need to make food for efficiently. And for new flavours, better textures, and more nutrition. The book does a reasonable job for explaining how we're going to get there. We're moving to a world where Synthetarianism is becoming mainstream. This raises interesting ethical questions. Sadly, the book doesn't touch on the ethics of this.

\n\n

Reduction of meat consumption is probably necessary for our future on this planet - and our eventual off-world adventures. Once you get into this book, there are some excellent ideas and some fascinating science - but you'll need to skim through a lot before you reach the payoff.

Journal lists in OpenAlex\n \n\n\n\n

\n

\nOpenAlex shared a blog post last week about their implementation of journal lists: \nhttps://blog.openalex.org/trusted-journal-lists-come-to-openalex/. OpenAlex previously had 'in_scopus' as a variable (which is no longer available) as well 'in_core' to indicate inclusion in the 'core journal list' from the Leiden Ranking (Open Edition). Since September 2026, coverage has been extended to include first 22 and now 61 journal lists of all stripes.

\n

What to think?\n \n\n\n\n

\n

Personally, I am of two minds about this - on one hand, having this information available as open data, and made interoperable with the other data in OpenAlex, is useful and meeting a need that has been articulated often by users. Also, the fact that OpenAlex implements a broad set of lists (including e.g. LatIndex, SciELO and AJOL) does allow people to take their own responsibility for what they choose to use, shows the diversity in indexes/journal lists, and can help expand the concept of 'visibility' beyond 'included in Web of Science or Scopus'.

\n

On the other hand, OpenAlex positions this as a trust signal, which I think can be problematic, and mixes different types of lists, which compounds the issue - crucially including many national research evaluation lists.

\n

Mixed messaging\n \n\n\n\n

\n

In the blog post, it is claimed that 'allow lists' (whitelists by any other name \ud83c\udf39) are the preferred approach to assess the 'trustworthiness' of a journal. Ironically, \nThinkCheckSubmit is quoted to justify this, which instead advocates assessment at journal level, and does not mention or advocate using whitelists as proxies.

\n

More importantly, the inclusion of national research evaluation lists mixes (proxy) assessment of trustworthiness with assessment of prestige. The use of such lists for decisions on funding and evaluation goes directly against \nDORA. The inclusion of them as proxies of trustworthiness is questionable in my opinion, and it could be argued that the inclusion of these lists further entrenches the use of journal lists in research assessment.

\n

Where does responsibility lie?\n \n\n\n\n

\n

Of course it can be argued that OpenAlex' role is not to explicitly support responsible research evaluation, and that, in their words 'Judgment stays with the people who made the list\", as well as those that use the list(s).

\n

I am broadly suportive of that from an open research information perspective. However, I do think that the use of journal list still deserves critical reflection and that it is important to be aware of the nature and purpose of various lists, and how that affects their inclusion criteria. OpenAlex takes on some responsibility on this when they integrate these lists - and could, for example, include such information, either as a list typology or by including a list's own description as a variable in the source list entity.

\n read this article in english\n

Der allj\u00e4hrlich von der UNESCO ausgerufene World Day for Audiovisual Heritage am 27. Oktober bietet diesmal Anlass, eine historische Medizinfilmsammlung vorzustellen, die zum Filmerbe der G\u00f6ttinger IWFWissen und Medien gGmbH (vormals Institut f\u00fcr den Wissenschaftlichen Film \u2013 IWF) an der TIB geh\u00f6rt.

\n

Mit ihren rund 1.200 Titeln zur Humanmedizin deckt sie \u00fcber 100 Jahre Medizin- und Filmgeschichte ab. Erste Aufnahmen eines chirurgischen Eingriffs wurden bereits zu Beginn des 20. Jahrhunderts erstellt, die letzten Filme entstanden erst vor knapp 20 Jahren.

\n

Inhaltlich verteilt sich die Sammlung \u00fcber das gesamte Spektrum der Grundlagen wie Anatomie, Pathologie, Physiologie, Zytologie bis hin zu den klinischen F\u00e4chern wie Innere Medizin, Chirurgie, Gyn\u00e4kologie, P\u00e4diatrie, Neurologie und Psychiatrie.\u00a0Was die Medizinfilme so besonders macht: Sie geben authentische Einblicke in eine Welt, die sich normalerweise hinter verschlossenen T\u00fcren abspielt.

\n

Klinische Krankheitssymptome werden in einer Vielzahl der Filme anhand echter Fallbeispiele demonstriert, Untersuchungen, Behandlungen und Operationen an realen Patient:innen gezeigt. Selbst in Notarztwagen, psychiatrische Kliniken und Obduktionss\u00e4le werden Einblicke gew\u00e4hrt. F\u00fcr Medizinstudierende bieten solche Aufnahmen eine wertvolle Erg\u00e4nzung ihrer praktischen Ausbildung. Zugleich er\u00f6ffnen sie wichtige Perspektiven f\u00fcr die (medizin-)historische Forschung.

\n

Verantwortungsvolle Bereitstellung des sensiblen Filmerbes

\n

Metadaten und Abstracts der IWF-Medizinfilme k\u00f6nnen bereits vielfach \u00fcber das TIB AV-Portal recherchiert werden \u2013 vgl. die spezifische Suche mit einschl\u00e4gigen Filtern. Die Filme selbst werden sukzessive digitalisiert und bereitgestellt, soweit dies rechtlich m\u00f6glich ist.

\n

Hierzu geh\u00f6ren vor allem Titel ohne Personenaufnahmen (zum Beispiel Lymphgef\u00e4\u00dfmotorik von 1961) sowie sehr alte Titel, bei denen die Rechte der abgebildeten Personen bereits erloschen sind (zum Beispiel Tracheostoma von 1925). Durchaus bekannt und viel gesehen ist auch Der Muskelmann Wilhelm Emter aus L\u00f6rrach von 1925:

\n
\n

 

\n

Eine Vielzahl der Digitalisate darf jedoch aus pers\u00f6nlichkeits- und datenschutzrechtlichen Gr\u00fcnden nicht ohne Weiteres \u00fcber das TIB AV-Portal zug\u00e4nglich gemacht werden. Patient:innen geh\u00f6ren zur Gruppe der sensiblen Personen und genie\u00dfen daher einen besonderen Schutz.

\n

Die hohe Authentizit\u00e4t der Filme stellt die TIB vor Herausforderungen: Einerseits soll der Fachwelt eine zeitgem\u00e4\u00dfe digitale Filmnutzung erm\u00f6glicht werden, andererseits m\u00fcssen die Rechte der gefilmten Personen gewahrt bleiben.

\n

Logo des REMEDY-Projekts an der TIB
\n

An dieser Stelle setzt das Projekt REMEDY an, das 2025 gestartet ist. Es schafft die Voraussetzungen, um die Medizinfilme k\u00fcnftig rechtskonform und verantwortungsvoll \u00fcber das TIB AV-Portal bereitzustellen. Hierf\u00fcr wird ein rechtliches Risikoabsch\u00e4tzungskonzept erarbeitet, ein Paket an technischen Schutzma\u00dfnahmen geschn\u00fcrt sowie ein eigenes Tool zur irreversiblen Anonymisierung entwickelt.

\n

Dabei leistet REMEDY Grundlagenarbeit: Die Ergebnisse sollen nachnutzbar sein, damit auch andere sensible Filmsammlungen davon profitieren k\u00f6nnen (zum Beispiel Ethnologiefilme oder Unterrichtsfilme mit Kindern).

\n

Das Projekt wird von der Deutschen Forschungsgemeinschaft gef\u00f6rdert und l\u00e4uft noch bis Mitte 2027. Es ist Teil der DFG-Pilotphase Digitalisierung und Bereitstellung (noch) rechtebewehrter Objekte, in der 13 Projekte vernetzt sind, die an \u00e4hnlichen Fragestellungen arbeiten.

\n

Im TIB-Blog wird REMEDY weiter \u00fcber Neuigkeiten berichten.

As an academic, I receive a number of cold emails from prospective PhD students. I am always happy to hear from genuine students who are interested in working with me. However, a significant fraction of these emails are simply spam. I call them PhDishing emails.

\n\n\n\n

A few years back, PhDishing emails were easy to spot because they were totally untargeted. The emails were typically “Dear Professor” or if their mail merge program used your name, the text had no personalisation. The sender was “interested in my research” without saying what it was. Nor would they say how their experience (usually in an unrelated area) led them to write to me.

\n\n\n\n

These cold emails, sent to many lab heads at once, could be deleted with impunity. I had a simple rule: they hadn’t crafted an email to me, so I was not obligated to respond. DELETE. Cold emailers who wrote a genuine email, received a reply whether they were a suitable candidate or not.

\n\n\n\n

The advent of LLMs has substantially changed the game. Now, the PhDishing emails are verbose, syntactically perfect and personalised with a summary of my research interests that are clearly hoovered from my website and homogenised into bland prose. In short, LLM use considerably ups the ante. It is now hard to tell if the sender is a genuine candidate who has used an LLM in a misguided attempt to write a cold email, or is no different from the spammers of old.

\n\n\n\n

I’ve noticed these LLM-generated emails are a kind of boilerplate – which I suppose is not too surprising.

\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

I find paragraph 3 to be the closest thing to a “tell”. The vibe is that the candidate has their own research direction and would like to benefit from my lab to further their own research goals. This is both unrealistic and undesirable.

\n\n\n\n

First, at this level, candidates typically have a maximum of two years’ research experience, usually much less. By definition this experience is within another lab, addressing that group’s research goals. The notion that the candidate has ownership over that research is not realistic. At this stage, they should embark on a PhD and begin to form their research ideas. Second, why would I accept a student who would come and work on an unrelated topic? It’s true that the dream candidate should be able to work independently and have their own ideas, but they cannot be on a different research trajectory. LLMs – currently at least – seem to think that this is a winning formula for a cold PhDishing email.

\n\n\n\n

Am I being unfair here? A genuine candidate may be uncertain about how to write an approach email or not be confident in their written English and seek the assistance of an LLM. Those things shouldn’t be a barrier preventing people from contacting me. However, is it too much effort to sense check what you are about to send? I don’t think so. Would I want to work with someone who does not agree?

\n\n\n\n

To any genuine applicants who may be reading this and want to join my research group: please just write your own email. With your own words. Typos and all. I don’t care. These days it will make you stand out.

Some days I buy into the AI as Normal Technology argument that and popularized in their essay by the same title.

Then I'll read something like Anthropic's S-1 filing, and the founder's letter that precedes it. Anthropic is not pitching investors \"AI as normal technology.\" In the S-1 they describe ambitions for biology that go way beyond helping scientists write code and summarize papers.

On discoveries it says it has already made:

We have started to directly make biological discoveries with Claude: among them is the discovery of a molecular machine that might have the potential to be developed into a novel biotechnology tool, perhaps for gene editing.

On what it expects to follow:

First, we believe that AI will profoundly accelerate the rate of progress in biology and medicine, potentially curing diseases that have plagued humanity for millennia, including cancer, Alzheimer's disease, heart disease, rare genetic diseases, and the major infectious diseases.

On biological misuse:

AI can be misused by those who wish to do harm, for example to conduct cyberattacks or to design biological weapons. We have strict guardrails and trusted access programs that are designed to block misuse of our technology while still enabling positive applications.

And on the incentives of the company developing it:

AI has unusually large externalities, both positive and negative. Cultivating the positive externalities, and defending against the negative ones, is to some degree in tension with the natural incentives of a for-profit company, and with the standard governance structure of a publicly traded company.

On economic disruption:

The incredible economic value of AI may come with economic disruption, similar to what has happened with previous technologies but greater in magnitude.

On empowering bad governments:

Authoritarian governments may use AI to create high-tech surveillance states, deepen repression, and make themselves much more difficult to dislodge.

It's fine to be skeptical of some of their claims. But at the same time, take seriously what Anthropic is asking investors to believe: that the technology they're developing could cure diseases and create biological weapons, could result in economic abundance or upheaval, could empower democratic and authoritarian governments alike. And that ordinary, normal technology commercial incentives are almost certainly inadequate to manage the consequences.

I don't think this is the S-1 of a normal technology.

We believe that Al is one of the most consequential technologies in human history. If managed well, it could rapidly accelerate scientific innovation, greatly increase economic growth rates, bring cures for major diseases within reach, and solve problems that have resisted generations of human effort.

The newly founded Competence Center at the Leibniz Joint Lab Data Science & Open Knowledge supports companies in Lower Saxony in terms of secure data exchange along the value chain

Never before was the world so networked as it is today. Digitalization offers countless opportunities for new business models. Data as a strategic resource can be decisive for the success of companies. Reliable and secure access to and handling of data is therefore of crucial importance for the future of our economy and society.

\n

Key technology for innovative applications\u00a0 in Artificial Intelligence (AI)

\n

Why are data sovereignty and data-based business models important for the competitiveness of the German and international economy? How does secure data exchange between companies generate new value creation potential? And how can secure data exchange between companies be made possible? The International Data Space Association (IDSA) provides answers to these and other questions: Together with its members from industry and research, it is developing a secure, trustworthy architecture for data exchange along cross-company value chains. It thus creates a basis for digitization and more efficient design of industrial production and business processes. It opens up potential for new value creation scenarios.

\n

In particular the non-profit association IDSA would like to establish a standard, namely a de-facto standard for a safe data place and a sovereign data transfer, which will be used by enterprises across industries and countries. The goal is to establish globally valid rules and guidelines for data sovereignty: Who is allowed to do what with which data in which context?

\n

„Companies in Germany and Europe need a strategic tool with which they can securely exchange and combine their data in value creation networks. This is the fundamental prerequisite for innovation and the basis for modern business models,“ says Prof. Dr. Boris Otto, Deputy Chairman of the Executive Board of IDSA and Managing Director of the Fraunhofer Institute for Software and Systems Engineering ISST.

\n

Virtual space for data exchange

\n

The goal: A network of reliable, securely exchangeable data that contributes to more efficient value creation in all domains of the economic activity. In the future, companies will be able to exchange their data in a virtual data space and thus make it usable for other companies. The sovereignty over one’s own data has to be respected and safeguarded; the trustworthy cooperation and integration as well as security have to be guaranteed. „The International Data Spaces make it easier for companies to exploit the potential of digitization for their business models without giving up control over their data,“ explains Otto.

\n

This can be illustrated very clearly by the use cases from the IDS.

\n

However, there is still a long way to accomplish the open data space. One step in this direction is the establishment of the IDS Competence Centre in Lower Saxony at the Leibniz Joint Lab Data Science & Open Knowledge of the L3S Research Center of Leibniz Universit\u00e4t Hannover (LUH) and the TIB \u2013 Leibniz Information Centre for Science and Technology. Both entities contribute their knowledge and their extensive research and technology competencies in the domain of data science, which they want to transfer to interested companies and cooperation partners. The official founding event, entitled „International Data Spaces (IDS) for Industry 4.0“, took place at the TIB on 19 June 2019. It was part of the TIB and L3S „Research Meets Business“ series of events aimed at helping companies implement digitization via research and innovation.

\n

„It is great that a regional competence center of the International Data Space Association has been founded at the L3S Research Center in Hannover“, explained Dr. Sabine Johannsen, State Secretary in the Ministry of Science and Culture of Lower Saxony, at the official founding event at the end of June. At the moment, a lot is happening in Lower Saxony to shape digitization initiatives. Johannsen continued that it is important for science and industry to exchange ideas and inventions, because this is the only way to turn ideas and inventions into marketable products.

\n

The focus of this event was the IDS and the foundation of the regional competence center: Prof. Dr. Boris Otto focused at his keynote on the „IDS as a smart data infrastructure for future AI applications“. Further presentations focused on data integration in industry 4.0 and semantic data integration in IDS, for instance the following keynotes on „Data integration in industry 4.0“ by Prof. Dr.-Ing. Berend Denkena (Institute of Manufacturing Engineering and Machine Tools, LUH), „Semantic Data Representation in IDS“ by Dr. Sebastian Tramp (eccenca GmbH) and the „EU Project Boost 4.0 (Big Data for Factories) and Semantic Data Networking for IDS“ by TIB's Director Prof. Dr. S\u00f6ren Auer. Moreover AI was an important element of this event with the lectures on „How AI changes the automotive industry“ by Dr. Michael Nolting (Head of Digital Services & Data Analysis at Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles) and „IIP-Ecosphere \u2013 a novel AI ecosystem for networking industry, SMEs and research“ by Dr. Claudia Nieder\u00e9e (L3S).

\n

International, national, regional: IDSA Competence Center Lower Saxony

\n

With the International Data Spaces becoming increasingly popular at national, European and international level, it is a direct result that IDSA’s regional competence centres and innovation hubs are currently also emerging. In the meantime, 100 member institutions from industry and research are actively involved in the IDSA. Together they are working on the further development of the IDS reference architecture and the IDS standard. In order to support the members with know-how, to advance the joint work and to exchange experiences, the IDSA establishes a close network. The nodes in this network are the IDSA competence centere. The IDSA would like to establish these centers primarily at economic and social „hot spots“. Hannover is such a hot spot: as the capital of Lower Saxony, a major city with over half a million inhabitants, and as a globally renowned location for science, industry and trade fairs.

\n

„With the new IDSA Competence Center in Hannover, we want to help companies in Lower Saxony build on trustworthy data infrastructures to implement new business models and innovations through artificial intelligence (AI) in production and other data-driven business areas,“ says Prof. Dr. Wolfgang Nejdl, Managing Director of the L3S Research Center.

\n

„Particularly in Lower Saxony, data exchange along the industrial value chains plays a central role and in our Joint Lab we look forward to working together with companies in the region,“ says TIB's Director Prof. Dr. S\u00f6ren Auer.

\n

„The IDSA Competence Center in Lower Saxony constitutes an interface between industry, research and science. It aims to support the introduction of new AI technologies and business models, the digitisation and the exchange of best practices, standards and data. In this way, Lower Saxony will play an even more important role in the European and international network by ensuring the sustainability and competitiveness of the regional industry,“ says Alexandra Garatzogianni, Senior Project Manager for Research and Innovation at the TIB and the L3S Research Centre and responsible for the Lower Saxony IDSA Competence Centre.

\n

From reference model to open data marketplace

\n

IDSA has been developing a reference architecture for a secure data space since 2016 \u2013 for a future open data marketplace, various requirements must be met: Requirements for such a protected data space must be identified and aligned, so that data from different segments can be shared and exchanged internationally based on predefined rules and regulations. In addition, requirements for the development and operation of such a data space must be defined and recommendations for action must be provided for the companies. The IDSA currently has more than 100 members from 20 countries. These include software and system providers, large medium-sized companies such as Boehringer, Rittal, SICK or Schaeffler, groups such as Allianz, Bosch, IBM or Volkswagen, research institutions such as Fraunhofer, the Institute for Microtechnology at Braunschweig Technical University or TNO, the Dutch Organisation for Applied Natural Science Research. In the (so-called) „IDS Communities“, the members promote the application of the IDS reference architecture and the establishment of the IDS standard. There are the communities such as „Industrial“, „Logistics“ and „Medical“ as well as the SME Alliance for small and medium-sized enterprises.

\n

With „IDS_ready“, the new seal for trustworthy data exchange, the IDS concept is now also ready for commercial use. The IDS architecture can be used by companies outside of the association. This is a big step in the way to a secure and trustful data exchange in the industry.

\n

TIB and L3S: Support for institutions in Lower Saxony

\n

In the IDSA Competence Centre in Lower Saxony, best practices will be exchanged, concrete use cases will be processed, user requirements will be defined and aligned for the future data marketplaces. Furthermore information events and training courses offered to interested organisations from industry, research and administration will be offered. Additionally, the IDS data architecture will be used as a basis for new AI applications such as intelligent production. Intelligent data networking in production processes involving suppliers and specialized service providers will then enable new analysis and forecasting services, for instance in terms of optimizing maintenance intervals or quality management.

\n

In particular, TIB will support semantic data networking using vocabularies and ontologies. The close collaboration of TIB with IDSA will ensure that the data infrastructure \u2013 where possible and useful – is compatible with the IDS reference model, where ontologies are also used for semantic data networking. In concrete terms, this means that information between different companies in a value chain is not only easier to exchange, but can also be processed in a way that is comprehensible to machines and people using semantic descriptions.

\n

As a scientific library and research institution, TIB can contribute its expertise and role as a German information centre for the digitisation of science and technology to the IDSA. The L3S contributes its expertise from digital transformation as well as data and web science. Knowledge transfer in business, policy and society is a central component of the activities of the TIB and the L3S. In this way, synergies can be formed and the IDS can be further developed. One of the first tasks of the IDSA Competence Centre is to develop training courses for regional companies and to work on specific applications. Further steps will then be taken to increasingly network relevant stakeholders, as well as data and processes so that an open data space will be created at the end which guarantees reliable and secure access to and processing of data.

The aim of the Joint Lab is to research methods that make it possible to support the work of researchers in science and industry in the digital world. In addition to classical publications in document form, videos, research data, software or knowledge graphs must also increasingly be taken into account. Research areas include digital libraries, visual analytics, open science, information retrieval, web science and web archives, data mining and human-computer interaction.

\n

The Joint Lab is headed by Prof. Dr. S\u00f6ren Auer, Director of the TIB and holder of the chair „Data Science & Digital Libraries“ at Leibniz Universit\u00e4t Hannover. Prof. Dr. Wolfgang Nejdl, Director of the Research Center L3S, is the scientific contact person at Leibniz University.

At the end of October, I submitted a paper that’s been hanging over me for a couple of years. I’ve been in the habit of tracking nearly all my submissions since I started out in palaeontology, it happens that this one is number 50 in the list. It feels like an interesting time to stop and take stock of them all.

\n
\"\"

NHMUK PV R5937, “The Archbishop”, cervical vertebra S (probably C7). A. Reconstruction of right lateral view with neural spine, prezygapophysis, diapophysis, parapophysus, condyle and cervical rib restored. Most anatomical features are as in the reconstruction of Cervical V: only unique elements are labelled. B. Left lateral view. C. Dorsal view with anterior to the right. D. Posterior view. E. Right lateral view. F. Anterior view. Scale bar 20 cm.
And, no, the recently submitted paper in question is not the Archbishop description. I just tossed this image in because, hey, this is Sauropod Vertebra Picture of the Week.

\n

Before I get into the details of what happened to those submissions, I want to note that of the 31 papers listed in my CV, eight are not listed in my submissions database. Five of them I didn’t track because I was not the lead author and so not involved in the submission process (Sharing: public databases combat mistrust and secrecy; Running a question-and-answer website for science education: first hand experiences; Neural spine bifurcation in sauropod dinosaurs of the Morrison Formation: ontogenetic and phylogenetic implications; The Anatomy and Phylogenetic Relationships of \"Pelorosaurus\" becklesii (Neosauropoda, Macronaria) from the Early Cretaceous of England; The Moral Dimensions of Open). And three more don’t appear because they were minor works that didn’t go through the full formal review process (The Open Dinosaur Project; Better ways to evaluate research and researchers; Comment (Case 3700) \u2013 Support for Diplodocus carnegii Hatcher, 1901 being designated as the type species of Diplodocus Marsh, 1878).

\n

That means that the 50 submissions I have in my database represent only 23 published papers \u2014 a hit-rate of less than 50%. What’s going on?

\n

Well, first, my submissions list includes three “published” papers that aren’t on my CV: a Europasaurus entry in the Encyclopaedia Britannica, a nomenclatural correction to my Giraffatitan JVP paper, and the Barosaurus neck preprint. So that means 26 of the 50 submissions are published.

\n

What about the rest?

\n

Five more submissions are still open: the Barosaurus neck paper based on that preprint, still in review limbo after eight years; an accepted chapter in a long-delayed edited volume; a paper on Joni Mitchell that was given Major Revisions from a humanities journal for (I thought) spurious reasons; an anatomy paper at PeerJ whose revisions should soon be finished; and the newly submitted paper that I mentioned at the top of the page.

\n

Four more submissions, I have just abandoned. One was the original submission of what became Almost all known sauropod necks are incomplete and distorted, which I later resubmitted as new after I stalled for six years on responding to reviews. Another was a short note correcting a nomenclatural error in a Nature paper, which was basically ignored. Two more are chapters for the Phylonyms volume, which … well, that’s a long and depressing story for another day.

\n

That leaves 15 submissions that were rejected. Some of these are dead forever: for example, the first palaeo paper I ever submitted, a dinosaur diversity analysis, which I ended up “publishing” as a sort of post-preprint ten years later. Some I gave up on after rejection, such as an attempt to reconcile phylogenetic and Linnaean taxonomy (rejected twice), a brief summary of dinosaur diversity that I optimistically sent to Science when I was young and stupid, and an RWA-era comment on what a “private-sector research work” is (three times at different journals!).

\n

The other eight rejections, more happily, having been rejected from one or more journals eventually found homes elsewhere: my first (eventually) published paper, on phylogenetic nomenclature of diplodocoids; the Xenoposeidon description, our neck-posture paper (twice!), Why Giraffes Have Long Necks (also twice!), the Brontomerus description, and the paper on vertebral orientation (rejected from PeerJ as “out of scope”, idiotically).

\n

So the final score comes out as follows:

\n\n

What to make of all this?

\n

One thing to think about here is whether 50% is actually a decent batting average. Maybe a 50-50 chance of any given submission making it into the journal in question is not too bad?

\n

And the reason why that may be so is that persistence tends to pay off: of my ten rejected manuscripts, more than half have gone on to be published elsewhere \u2014 garnering 400 citations so far (42, 57, 156, 95, 48 and 2, in chronological order). That is a happy thought to have in mind the next time I run into a rejection.

\n

Another encouraging observation is that the rejections have tended to be concentrated towards the earlier part of my career: 14 of them in the eight years from 2004 to 2012, and only one in the twelve years since. I think there are three reasons for this, two of them good and one bad.

\n
    \n
  1. I’ve got better at writing papers. That’s good.
    2. \n
  2. I’ve got better at judging what to submit and where. I’ve stopped aiming optimistic opinion pieces at Science and Nature and Biological Reviews. That’s good, too.
    3. \n
  3. I’m better known now, and that’s bad. Or, at least, it’s bad that being better known means I get better outcomes.
    4. \n
\n

As scientists of course we strive to evaluate every work on its merits, not according to the name or status of the author, and deliberate actions are often taken to make sure that’s what’s done. For example, the reviewers don’t know who wrote the abstracts submitted to get a talk at SVP or SVPCA. And yet, and yet. The truth is that I have had a few ad-hominem reviews, and I’m sorry to say they were all concentrated in the first few years of my career.

\n

Dear SV-POW! readers: don’t be That Guy. When you’re asked to review a manuscript by someone you’ve never heard of, put the fact that you’ve never heard of him or her aside, and review the damn manuscript, not the author. That’s not too much to ask.

\n

Anyway, that’s my fifty submissions in 20 years. (In fact, now I come to check the dates, I see that today is exactly the 20th anniversary of getting back the Reject Without Review verdict on the first palaeo paper I even submitted!). Let’s hope I can get more efficient in the next 20.

\"BookThis self-published book is a bit of a mixed bag. There has been a lot of thought put into it but, in the process of explaining the author's theories, they've forgotten that brevity makes a book like this readable and enjoyable.

\n\n

It could really have done with a strong editor to tighten things up. The first two chapters are filler. There's a mini introduction to evolution and the basics of the theory of knowledge. I'm not really sure what they're doing there. It seems to be an attempt by the author to prove that he knows what he's talking about. While a short lesson in thermodynamics may be useful, it's just overkill here. The start of chapter three is in thrall to the Cult of St Jobs of Apple, but then finally starts talking about food production. Which is where things get interesting.

\n\n

The book takes a long time to get to its central point - raising and slaughtering animals for meat is inefficient. It's a poor use of energy, water, crops, and space. We should be able to do better.

\n\n

But then the book goes a bit off-piste. It returns to a graduate level intro to synthetic biology and modern day genetic manipulation. Again, interesting up to a point, but goes too far into the weeds for a book for the general public. There are some weird and inappropriate comments scattered through the chapters - he casually dismisses the concerns GMO opponents have about proprietary and secretive practices without ever acknowledging them. Similarly, he unfairly lumps vegans in with antivaxers. Despite hundreds of citations throughout the book, there's no footnote for that!

\n\n

Then there's a bizarre section on meditation. I sort of get the tie in to hedonism and desires but again feels like a brain dump of padding out content.

\n\n

Finally, we get an excellent chapter on \"beyond food\". He raises some interesting and exciting questions about the limits of our culinary imaginations. Why are we recreating burgers and steak when we could be making something better?

\n\n

Annoyingly, it only lightly touches on the history of meat-replacement technology. For example, there's a paragraph about the technology behind Quorn - but nothing about how the population boom in the mid-20th century led to fears of mass starvation.

\n\n

Can we \"3D print\" something similar to steak? Can we genetically engineer yeast to produce protiens similar to cheese? This book makes a powerful argument that the tech is nearly here and that it is a moral necessity.

\n\n

I've been a vegetarian since the turn of the century - and I've tried loads of \"meat substitutes\". A Quorn burger, once drenched in ketchup, mustard, and pickles, doesn't taste any different from a beef burger. I've eaten the Beyond Meat burgers and, again, they're hardly any different from the existing veggie-burgers.

\n\n

I get the need to make food for efficiently. And for new flavours, better textures, and more nutrition. The book does a reasonable job for explaining how we're going to get there. We're moving to a world where Synthetarianism is becoming mainstream. This raises interesting ethical questions. Sadly, the book doesn't touch on the ethics of this.

\n\n

Reduction of meat consumption is probably necessary for our future on this planet - and our eventual off-world adventures. Once you get into this book, there are some excellent ideas and some fascinating science - but you'll need to skim through a lot before you reach the payoff.

Journal lists in OpenAlex\n \n\n\n\n

\n

\nOpenAlex shared a blog post last week about their implementation of journal lists: \nhttps://blog.openalex.org/trusted-journal-lists-come-to-openalex/. OpenAlex previously had 'in_scopus' as a variable (which is no longer available) as well 'in_core' to indicate inclusion in the 'core journal list' from the Leiden Ranking (Open Edition). Since September 2026, coverage has been extended to include first 22 and now 61 journal lists of all stripes.

\n

What to think?\n \n\n\n\n

\n

Personally, I am of two minds about this - on one hand, having this information available as open data, and made interoperable with the other data in OpenAlex, is useful and meeting a need that has been articulated often by users. Also, the fact that OpenAlex implements a broad set of lists (including e.g. LatIndex, SciELO and AJOL) does allow people to take their own responsibility for what they choose to use, shows the diversity in indexes/journal lists, and can help expand the concept of 'visibility' beyond 'included in Web of Science or Scopus'.

\n

On the other hand, OpenAlex positions this as a trust signal, which I think can be problematic, and mixes different types of lists, which compounds the issue - crucially including many national research evaluation lists.

\n

Mixed messaging\n \n\n\n\n

\n

In the blog post, it is claimed that 'allow lists' (whitelists by any other name \ud83c\udf39) are the preferred approach to assess the 'trustworthiness' of a journal. Ironically, \nThinkCheckSubmit is quoted to justify this, which instead advocates assessment at journal level, and does not mention or advocate using whitelists as proxies.

\n

More importantly, the inclusion of national research evaluation lists mixes (proxy) assessment of trustworthiness with assessment of prestige. The use of such lists for decisions on funding and evaluation goes directly against \nDORA. The inclusion of them as proxies of trustworthiness is questionable in my opinion, and it could be argued that the inclusion of these lists further entrenches the use of journal lists in research assessment.

\n

Where does responsibility lie?\n \n\n\n\n

\n

Of course it can be argued that OpenAlex' role is not to explicitly support responsible research evaluation, and that, in their words 'Judgment stays with the people who made the list\", as well as those that use the list(s).

\n

I am broadly suportive of that from an open research information perspective. However, I do think that the use of journal list still deserves critical reflection and that it is important to be aware of the nature and purpose of various lists, and how that affects their inclusion criteria. OpenAlex takes on some responsibility on this when they integrate these lists - and could, for example, include such information, either as a list typology or by including a list's own description as a variable in the source list entity.

Cover des Filmkatalogs f\u00fcr Medizin des IWF
\n read this article in english\n

Der allj\u00e4hrlich von der UNESCO ausgerufene World Day for Audiovisual Heritage am 27. Oktober bietet diesmal Anlass, eine historische Medizinfilmsammlung vorzustellen, die zum Filmerbe der G\u00f6ttinger IWFWissen und Medien gGmbH (vormals Institut f\u00fcr den Wissenschaftlichen Film \u2013 IWF) an der TIB geh\u00f6rt.

\n

Mit ihren rund 1.200 Titeln zur Humanmedizin deckt sie \u00fcber 100 Jahre Medizin- und Filmgeschichte ab. Erste Aufnahmen eines chirurgischen Eingriffs wurden bereits zu Beginn des 20. Jahrhunderts erstellt, die letzten Filme entstanden erst vor knapp 20 Jahren.

\n

Inhaltlich verteilt sich die Sammlung \u00fcber das gesamte Spektrum der Grundlagen wie Anatomie, Pathologie, Physiologie, Zytologie bis hin zu den klinischen F\u00e4chern wie Innere Medizin, Chirurgie, Gyn\u00e4kologie, P\u00e4diatrie, Neurologie und Psychiatrie.\u00a0Was die Medizinfilme so besonders macht: Sie geben authentische Einblicke in eine Welt, die sich normalerweise hinter verschlossenen T\u00fcren abspielt.

\n

Klinische Krankheitssymptome werden in einer Vielzahl der Filme anhand echter Fallbeispiele demonstriert, Untersuchungen, Behandlungen und Operationen an realen Patient:innen gezeigt. Selbst in Notarztwagen, psychiatrische Kliniken und Obduktionss\u00e4le werden Einblicke gew\u00e4hrt. F\u00fcr Medizinstudierende bieten solche Aufnahmen eine wertvolle Erg\u00e4nzung ihrer praktischen Ausbildung. Zugleich er\u00f6ffnen sie wichtige Perspektiven f\u00fcr die (medizin-)historische Forschung.

\n

Verantwortungsvolle Bereitstellung des sensiblen Filmerbes

\n

Metadaten und Abstracts der IWF-Medizinfilme k\u00f6nnen bereits vielfach \u00fcber das TIB AV-Portal recherchiert werden \u2013 vgl. die spezifische Suche mit einschl\u00e4gigen Filtern. Die Filme selbst werden sukzessive digitalisiert und bereitgestellt, soweit dies rechtlich m\u00f6glich ist.

\n

Hierzu geh\u00f6ren vor allem Titel ohne Personenaufnahmen (zum Beispiel Lymphgef\u00e4\u00dfmotorik von 1961) sowie sehr alte Titel, bei denen die Rechte der abgebildeten Personen bereits erloschen sind (zum Beispiel Tracheostoma von 1925). Durchaus bekannt und viel gesehen ist auch Der Muskelmann Wilhelm Emter aus L\u00f6rrach von 1925:

\n
\n

 

\n

Eine Vielzahl der Digitalisate darf jedoch aus pers\u00f6nlichkeits- und datenschutzrechtlichen Gr\u00fcnden nicht ohne Weiteres \u00fcber das TIB AV-Portal zug\u00e4nglich gemacht werden. Patient:innen geh\u00f6ren zur Gruppe der sensiblen Personen und genie\u00dfen daher einen besonderen Schutz.

\n

Die hohe Authentizit\u00e4t der Filme stellt die TIB vor Herausforderungen: Einerseits soll der Fachwelt eine zeitgem\u00e4\u00dfe digitale Filmnutzung erm\u00f6glicht werden, andererseits m\u00fcssen die Rechte der gefilmten Personen gewahrt bleiben.

\n

An dieser Stelle setzt das Projekt REMEDY an, das 2025 gestartet ist. Es schafft die Voraussetzungen, um die Medizinfilme k\u00fcnftig rechtskonform und verantwortungsvoll \u00fcber das TIB AV-Portal bereitzustellen. Hierf\u00fcr wird ein rechtliches Risikoabsch\u00e4tzungskonzept erarbeitet, ein Paket an technischen Schutzma\u00dfnahmen geschn\u00fcrt sowie ein eigenes Tool zur irreversiblen Anonymisierung entwickelt.

\n

Dabei leistet REMEDY Grundlagenarbeit: Die Ergebnisse sollen nachnutzbar sein, damit auch andere sensible Filmsammlungen davon profitieren k\u00f6nnen (zum Beispiel Ethnologiefilme oder Unterrichtsfilme mit Kindern).

\n

Das Projekt wird von der Deutschen Forschungsgemeinschaft gef\u00f6rdert und l\u00e4uft noch bis Mitte 2027. Es ist Teil der DFG-Pilotphase Digitalisierung und Bereitstellung (noch) rechtebewehrter Objekte, in der 13 Projekte vernetzt sind, die an \u00e4hnlichen Fragestellungen arbeiten.

\n

Im TIB-Blog wird REMEDY weiter \u00fcber Neuigkeiten berichten.

As an academic, I receive a number of cold emails from prospective PhD students. I am always happy to hear from genuine students who are interested in working with me. However, a significant fraction of these emails are simply spam. I call them PhDishing emails.

\n\n\n\n

A few years back, PhDishing emails were easy to spot because they were totally untargeted. The emails were typically “Dear Professor” or if their mail merge program used your name, the text had no personalisation. The sender was “interested in my research” without saying what it was. Nor would they say how their experience (usually in an unrelated area) led them to write to me.

\n\n\n\n

These cold emails, sent to many lab heads at once, could be deleted with impunity. I had a simple rule: they hadn’t crafted an email to me, so I was not obligated to respond. DELETE. Cold emailers who wrote a genuine email, received a reply whether they were a suitable candidate or not.

\n\n\n\n

The advent of LLMs has substantially changed the game. Now, the PhDishing emails are verbose, syntactically perfect and personalised with a summary of my research interests that are clearly hoovered from my website and homogenised into bland prose. In short, LLM use considerably ups the ante. It is now hard to tell if the sender is a genuine candidate who has used an LLM in a misguided attempt to write a cold email, or is no different from the spammers of old.

\n\n\n\n

I’ve noticed these LLM-generated emails are a kind of boilerplate – which I suppose is not too surprising.

\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

I find paragraph 3 to be the closest thing to a “tell”. The vibe is that the candidate has their own research direction and would like to benefit from my lab to further their own research goals. This is both unrealistic and undesirable.

\n\n\n\n

First, at this level, candidates typically have a maximum of two years’ research experience, usually much less. By definition this experience is within another lab, addressing that group’s research goals. The notion that the candidate has ownership over that research is not realistic. At this stage, they should embark on a PhD and begin to form their research ideas. Second, why would I accept a student who would come and work on an unrelated topic? It’s true that the dream candidate should be able to work independently and have their own ideas, but they cannot be on a different research trajectory. LLMs – currently at least – seem to think that this is a winning formula for a cold PhDishing email.

\n\n\n\n

Am I being unfair here? A genuine candidate may be uncertain about how to write an approach email or not be confident in their written English and seek the assistance of an LLM. Those things shouldn’t be a barrier preventing people from contacting me. However, is it too much effort to sense check what you are about to send? I don’t think so. Would I want to work with someone who does not agree?

\n\n\n\n

To any genuine applicants who may be reading this and want to join my research group: please just write your own email. With your own words. Typos and all. I don’t care. These days it will make you stand out.

Some days I buy into the AI as Normal Technology argument that and popularized in their essay by the same title.

Then I'll read something like Anthropic's S-1 filing, and the founder's letter that precedes it. Anthropic is not pitching investors \"AI as normal technology.\" In the S-1 they describe ambitions for biology that go way beyond helping scientists write code and summarize papers.

On discoveries it says it has already made:

We have started to directly make biological discoveries with Claude: among them is the discovery of a molecular machine that might have the potential to be developed into a novel biotechnology tool, perhaps for gene editing.

On what it expects to follow:

First, we believe that AI will profoundly accelerate the rate of progress in biology and medicine, potentially curing diseases that have plagued humanity for millennia, including cancer, Alzheimer's disease, heart disease, rare genetic diseases, and the major infectious diseases.

On biological misuse:

AI can be misused by those who wish to do harm, for example to conduct cyberattacks or to design biological weapons. We have strict guardrails and trusted access programs that are designed to block misuse of our technology while still enabling positive applications.

And on the incentives of the company developing it:

AI has unusually large externalities, both positive and negative. Cultivating the positive externalities, and defending against the negative ones, is to some degree in tension with the natural incentives of a for-profit company, and with the standard governance structure of a publicly traded company.

On economic disruption:

The incredible economic value of AI may come with economic disruption, similar to what has happened with previous technologies but greater in magnitude.

On empowering bad governments:

Authoritarian governments may use AI to create high-tech surveillance states, deepen repression, and make themselves much more difficult to dislodge.

It's fine to be skeptical of some of their claims. But at the same time, take seriously what Anthropic is asking investors to believe: that the technology they're developing could cure diseases and create biological weapons, could result in economic abundance or upheaval, could empower democratic and authoritarian governments alike. And that ordinary, normal technology commercial incentives are almost certainly inadequate to manage the consequences.

I don't think this is the S-1 of a normal technology.

We believe that Al is one of the most consequential technologies in human history. If managed well, it could rapidly accelerate scientific innovation, greatly increase economic growth rates, bring cures for major diseases within reach, and solve problems that have resisted generations of human effort.

Die TU Berlin verk\u00fcndet auf ihrer Website die Ernennung eines Teams von insgesamt sechs Open-Science-Beauftragten:

\n

\"Als erste Universit\u00e4t in Deutschland hat die TU Berlin ein interdisziplin\u00e4res Team von Open-Science-Beauftragten ernannt. Die Expert*innen aus Forschung und Wissenschaftsinfrastruktur sollen die offene Wissenschaft an der Universit\u00e4t weiter voranbringen und das Pr\u00e4sidium bei strategischen Entscheidungen beraten.\"

\n

Mit der Neu-Ernennung werde die bisherige Funktion der Open-Access-Beauftragten weiterentwickelt und der gewachsenen Bedeutung von Open Science in Forschung und Lehre Rechnung getragen, so die TU.

\n

\n

Mit Open Science erweitert sich das Handlungsfeld deutlich, denn neben Open Access werden auch der offene Zugang zu Forschungsdaten, Forschungssoftware und Lehrmaterialien sowie weitere Praktiken, die Transparenz, Nachnutzbarkeit und Qualit\u00e4t von Forschung st\u00e4rken, ein Thema. Gleichzeitig bedankt sich die TU Berlin bei Prof. Dr. Vera Meyer, die als Open-Access-Beauftragte der TU Berlin seit 2016 entscheidend dabei mitwirkte, Open Access an der TU Berlin zu verankern und durch ihr Engagement zu bereichern.

\n

Zur Abbildung der thematischen und disziplin\u00e4ren Breite des Handlungsfelds Open Science setzt die TU Berlin f\u00fcr drei Jahre folgende Beauftragte ein:

Never before was the world so networked as it is today. Digitalization offers countless opportunities for new business models. Data as a strategic resource can be decisive for the success of companies. Reliable and secure access to and handling of data is therefore of crucial importance for the future of our economy and society.

\n

Key technology for innovative applications\u00a0 in Artificial Intelligence (AI)

\n

Why are data sovereignty and data-based business models important for the competitiveness of the German and international economy? How does secure data exchange between companies generate new value creation potential? And how can secure data exchange between companies be made possible? The International Data Space Association (IDSA) provides answers to these and other questions: Together with its members from industry and research, it is developing a secure, trustworthy architecture for data exchange along cross-company value chains. It thus creates a basis for digitization and more efficient design of industrial production and business processes. It opens up potential for new value creation scenarios.

\n

In particular the non-profit association IDSA would like to establish a standard, namely a de-facto standard for a safe data place and a sovereign data transfer, which will be used by enterprises across industries and countries. The goal is to establish globally valid rules and guidelines for data sovereignty: Who is allowed to do what with which data in which context?

\n

„Companies in Germany and Europe need a strategic tool with which they can securely exchange and combine their data in value creation networks. This is the fundamental prerequisite for innovation and the basis for modern business models,“ says Prof. Dr. Boris Otto, Deputy Chairman of the Executive Board of IDSA and Managing Director of the Fraunhofer Institute for Software and Systems Engineering ISST.

\n

Virtual space for data exchange

\n

The goal: A network of reliable, securely exchangeable data that contributes to more efficient value creation in all domains of the economic activity. In the future, companies will be able to exchange their data in a virtual data space and thus make it usable for other companies. The sovereignty over one’s own data has to be respected and safeguarded; the trustworthy cooperation and integration as well as security have to be guaranteed. „The International Data Spaces make it easier for companies to exploit the potential of digitization for their business models without giving up control over their data,“ explains Otto.

\n

This can be illustrated very clearly by the use cases from the IDS.

\n

However, there is still a long way to accomplish the open data space. One step in this direction is the establishment of the IDS Competence Centre in Lower Saxony at the Leibniz Joint Lab Data Science & Open Knowledge of the L3S Research Center of Leibniz Universit\u00e4t Hannover (LUH) and the TIB \u2013 Leibniz Information Centre for Science and Technology. Both entities contribute their knowledge and their extensive research and technology competencies in the domain of data science, which they want to transfer to interested companies and cooperation partners. The official founding event, entitled „International Data Spaces (IDS) for Industry 4.0“, took place at the TIB on 19 June 2019. It was part of the TIB and L3S „Research Meets Business“ series of events aimed at helping companies implement digitization via research and innovation.

\n

„It is great that a regional competence center of the International Data Space Association has been founded at the L3S Research Center in Hannover“, explained Dr. Sabine Johannsen, State Secretary in the Ministry of Science and Culture of Lower Saxony, at the official founding event at the end of June. At the moment, a lot is happening in Lower Saxony to shape digitization initiatives. Johannsen continued that it is important for science and industry to exchange ideas and inventions, because this is the only way to turn ideas and inventions into marketable products.

\n

The focus of this event was the IDS and the foundation of the regional competence center: Prof. Dr. Boris Otto focused at his keynote on the „IDS as a smart data infrastructure for future AI applications“. Further presentations focused on data integration in industry 4.0 and semantic data integration in IDS, for instance the following keynotes on „Data integration in industry 4.0“ by Prof. Dr.-Ing. Berend Denkena (Institute of Manufacturing Engineering and Machine Tools, LUH), „Semantic Data Representation in IDS“ by Dr. Sebastian Tramp (eccenca GmbH) and the „EU Project Boost 4.0 (Big Data for Factories) and Semantic Data Networking for IDS“ by TIB's Director Prof. Dr. S\u00f6ren Auer. Moreover AI was an important element of this event with the lectures on „How AI changes the automotive industry“ by Dr. Michael Nolting (Head of Digital Services & Data Analysis at Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles) and „IIP-Ecosphere \u2013 a novel AI ecosystem for networking industry, SMEs and research“ by Dr. Claudia Nieder\u00e9e (L3S).

\n

International, national, regional: IDSA Competence Center Lower Saxony

\n

With the International Data Spaces becoming increasingly popular at national, European and international level, it is a direct result that IDSA’s regional competence centres and innovation hubs are currently also emerging. In the meantime, 100 member institutions from industry and research are actively involved in the IDSA. Together they are working on the further development of the IDS reference architecture and the IDS standard. In order to support the members with know-how, to advance the joint work and to exchange experiences, the IDSA establishes a close network. The nodes in this network are the IDSA competence centere. The IDSA would like to establish these centers primarily at economic and social „hot spots“. Hannover is such a hot spot: as the capital of Lower Saxony, a major city with over half a million inhabitants, and as a globally renowned location for science, industry and trade fairs.

\n

„With the new IDSA Competence Center in Hannover, we want to help companies in Lower Saxony build on trustworthy data infrastructures to implement new business models and innovations through artificial intelligence (AI) in production and other data-driven business areas,“ says Prof. Dr. Wolfgang Nejdl, Managing Director of the L3S Research Center.

\n

„Particularly in Lower Saxony, data exchange along the industrial value chains plays a central role and in our Joint Lab we look forward to working together with companies in the region,“ says TIB's Director Prof. Dr. S\u00f6ren Auer.

\n

„The IDSA Competence Center in Lower Saxony constitutes an interface between industry, research and science. It aims to support the introduction of new AI technologies and business models, the digitisation and the exchange of best practices, standards and data. In this way, Lower Saxony will play an even more important role in the European and international network by ensuring the sustainability and competitiveness of the regional industry,“ says Alexandra Garatzogianni, Senior Project Manager for Research and Innovation at the TIB and the L3S Research Centre and responsible for the Lower Saxony IDSA Competence Centre.

\n

From reference model to open data marketplace

\n

IDSA has been developing a reference architecture for a secure data space since 2016 \u2013 for a future open data marketplace, various requirements must be met: Requirements for such a protected data space must be identified and aligned, so that data from different segments can be shared and exchanged internationally based on predefined rules and regulations. In addition, requirements for the development and operation of such a data space must be defined and recommendations for action must be provided for the companies. The IDSA currently has more than 100 members from 20 countries. These include software and system providers, large medium-sized companies such as Boehringer, Rittal, SICK or Schaeffler, groups such as Allianz, Bosch, IBM or Volkswagen, research institutions such as Fraunhofer, the Institute for Microtechnology at Braunschweig Technical University or TNO, the Dutch Organisation for Applied Natural Science Research. In the (so-called) „IDS Communities“, the members promote the application of the IDS reference architecture and the establishment of the IDS standard. There are the communities such as „Industrial“, „Logistics“ and „Medical“ as well as the SME Alliance for small and medium-sized enterprises.

\n

With „IDS_ready“, the new seal for trustworthy data exchange, the IDS concept is now also ready for commercial use. The IDS architecture can be used by companies outside of the association. This is a big step in the way to a secure and trustful data exchange in the industry.

\n

TIB and L3S: Support for institutions in Lower Saxony

\n

In the IDSA Competence Centre in Lower Saxony, best practices will be exchanged, concrete use cases will be processed, user requirements will be defined and aligned for the future data marketplaces. Furthermore information events and training courses offered to interested organisations from industry, research and administration will be offered. Additionally, the IDS data architecture will be used as a basis for new AI applications such as intelligent production. Intelligent data networking in production processes involving suppliers and specialized service providers will then enable new analysis and forecasting services, for instance in terms of optimizing maintenance intervals or quality management.

\n

In particular, TIB will support semantic data networking using vocabularies and ontologies. The close collaboration of TIB with IDSA will ensure that the data infrastructure \u2013 where possible and useful – is compatible with the IDS reference model, where ontologies are also used for semantic data networking. In concrete terms, this means that information between different companies in a value chain is not only easier to exchange, but can also be processed in a way that is comprehensible to machines and people using semantic descriptions.

\n

As a scientific library and research institution, TIB can contribute its expertise and role as a German information centre for the digitisation of science and technology to the IDSA. The L3S contributes its expertise from digital transformation as well as data and web science. Knowledge transfer in business, policy and society is a central component of the activities of the TIB and the L3S. In this way, synergies can be formed and the IDS can be further developed. One of the first tasks of the IDSA Competence Centre is to develop training courses for regional companies and to work on specific applications. Further steps will then be taken to increasingly network relevant stakeholders, as well as data and processes so that an open data space will be created at the end which guarantees reliable and secure access to and processing of data.
