#scientificdata — Public Fediverse posts

Live and recent posts from across the Fediverse tagged #scientificdata, aggregated by home.social.

  1. When it comes to key scientific data, being open isn’t enough — they need to be FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable).

    Watch the full walkthrough on what FAIR data are and how to publish them here:

  2. A new preprint on @arxiv_cs argues that centralized scientific databases are too vulnerable to politics, funding cuts, and cyberattacks. The authors propose a Global Federated Architecture (GFA) — a hybrid model that combines the resilience of federated systems with the transparency of decentralized technologies to safeguard open science data as a global public good.

  3. 🚨🌍 NEW ARTICLE 🌍🚨

    We geocoded the #mobility of over 2 million #Erasmus students across #Europe from 2014 to 2022 with @miladmzdh Oula Inkeröinen & Olle Järv. The data descriptor article is published in #ScientificData, and is an output from the #MobiTwin project.

  4. Long Fridays at work have become all too common, but at least this time, we overcame a data issue with Social Connectedness Index data, and I managed to review and accept proofs for an upcoming #ScientificData article.

  5. Trump’s War on Science: How His Policies Affect Canadian Research.... "directly harm(ing) hundreds of ongoing #Canadian #climate #research projects, as well as #Canada’s efforts to monitor #climatechange and safeguard the public from climate disasters."

  6. #NASA Partners With #Microsoft to Open Up Valuable Space Data to the Public

    Through a new partnership with #Microsoft, #NASA wants to "democratize" access to its #scientificdata with the help of #AI.

  7. Excited to share that I'm now a member of the CF Conventions Committee! 🎉

    CF (Climate and Forecast) conventions standardise how scientific data and metadata are stored in NetCDF files, ensuring consistency and machine readability. Looking forward to contributing and collaborating with the community to shape its future! 🌍

  12. Long-term data collection + high resolution + alpine habitats + #OpenAccess = GREAT! 🥳

    Our colleagues from #Eurac #AlpineEnvironment published a #DataPaper in #ScientificData with a bunch of climatic data along an elevational gradient.

    The data come from an LT(S)ER area in #Vinschgau, #SouthTyrol, #italy

  14. A Gentle Introduction to GDAL Part 8 - Reading Scientific Data Formats

    --
    “Among its many well-known capabilities, GDAL has a hidden superpower — the ability to read scientific data formats like Hierarchical Data Format (HDF), Network Common Data Form (NetCDF), and Gridded Binary (GRIB). Many essential climate and satellite datasets created by the likes of NASA, NOAA, the World Meteorological Organization (WMO), and the European Space Agency (ESA) are stored and distributed in one of these formats. They contain records of everything from global temperatures to land cover to ocean salinity. Unfortunately, many people who’d be interested in using these data don’t even know they exist…”

  15. Hello. My colleague Luke just joined Mastodon !

    Give him a follow (here and on YouTube) for recipes, tips and tricks handling #FAIR #ScientificData with #Python and R (among other things).

  16. "Helicopter science" and datasets: Sarah Bratt and colleagues studied the use of Global South (GS) data by Global North researchers (in 3200 Scientific Data papers) , using OpenAlex and an LLM, ReFinEd, to identify entities in Geonames.

    The % of GS authors on GS data papers has risen, but on papers using GS data only 35% have a GS researcher as 1st or last author.

  17. Ireland et al. reviewed the reproducibility of geophysical research and found, despite requirements to make data available, that most of the time data used in studies were not accessible, limiting the opportunity to verify their findings.

  18. #academic #scientificdata We have loads of data around the lab. It's challenging knowing who has what where. Is there some (#freesoftware, #Python preferred) tool so that we can organise this? Should allow listing and querying metadata and hopefully, retrieving stuff via web. Chaos of formats including geospatial as well as CSV etc @pybonacci

  19. FAIR principles go-fair.org/fair-principles/ are a guide for making more useable. Some sites that aspire to these goals for data include:

    Planetary Data System pds.nasa.gov/

    SPASE spase-group.org/

    Heliophysics Data Portal heliophysicsdata.gsfc.nasa.gov/

    Coordinated Data Analysis Web cdaweb.gsfc.nasa.gov/

    NASA Open Data Portal data.nasa.gov/

    There are hundreds of sites with tools, standards references, and repositories. What are your favorites?

    "A comprehensive suite of #earthquake catalogues for the 2016–2017 Central #Italy seismic sequence"
    nature.com/articles/s41597-022

    We provide and document a #dataset of six catalogs for this sequence, which were developed with a variety of methods ranging from real-time to advanced #MachineLearning procedures.
