  1. Friday afternoon, finally all CS academics have time to work on papers, which somewhat predictably leads to #DBLP having a 503-moment. Send hug-ops!

  2. Today at UdS we celebrate the 80th birthday of #Dagstuhl 's founding director Reinhard Wilhelm. Among his many merits, he played a crucial role in creating a permanent home for #dblp at Dagstuhl.

  3. Switched from #duckduckgo to #ecosia. Search results seem (subjectively) better, but I'm really missing the !dblp shortcut (other shortcuts exists, though). #dblp

  4. Today, the #dblp team celebrated in style the #milestone of 2^23 = 8,388,608 publications, which was reached last week. ;)

  5. #dblp - I need to 😅 - fortunately, archive.org could display the archive of the mirror sites - However, all of them are down.

    dblp2.uni-trier.de (Trier 2)

  6. @vardi indexing and metadata is still in the hands of the big publishers (#scopus and #webofscience, for instance). We need to double down on open alternatives (such as #dblp). It would have been a positive surprise if #ACM would have led the way here, but obviously they decided to go in a different direction.

  7. @adamshostack @vardi @tychotithonus I believe our publications should not be in the hand of a single institution. #arXiv, #OpenResearchEurope (open-research-europe.ec.europa) or even better a distributed/federated repository run by universities would be a better solution. In terms of editing, at least in CS, publishers don’t add value but friction (it’s outsourced to underpaid workers who add unnecessary mistakes and are impossible to communicate with), so this step can probably discarded. Indexing is still largely controlled by the big publishers (#scopus), so we need open alternatives (such as #dblp).

  8. The #dblp computer science bibliography faces a strong demand. But its net budget is shrinking. This is why we humbly ask for your kind support in the form of a donation to Schloss #Dagstuhl LZI.

    If you value our work and want to help ensure the ongoing maintenance, improvement, and future growth of dblp, learn more or donate here:

    Thank you very much!

  9. @forster There is a massive flood of requests to #dblp coming from all directions. We are usually able to cope most days, but not so much the past four days. We are sorry, and we are actively working on it.

    Like many other sites, we have seen an unnatural increase in traffic (for us, by a factor of about 25) since around September 2024. It might be ill-guided AI bots or malicious DDoS; it's hard to tell. And, frankly, in the end: What's the difference? ~MRA

  10. We are glad to join the celebration of the "\(2^5\) years of #dblp - \(2^{23-\varepsilon}\) publications" anniversary of our partner service in computer science!
