Digital Science’s #ResearchTransformation report is now available: “Change in the era of Al, open and impact.” This report is based on the experiences of the academic community with insights gathered through a global survey and in-depth interviews. It deals with the impact of research transformation on the academic community, makes future predictions and proposes solutions. 🔗 Read the full report here: https://lnkd.in/eNXr9uRz The report has five key takeaways: 1. Open Research is transforming research, but barriers remain 🔓 2. Research metrics are evolving to emphasize holistic impact and inclusivity 📊 3. AI’s transformative potential is huge, but bureaucracy and skills gaps threaten progress 🤖 4. Collaboration is booming, amid increasing concerns over funding and security 🤝 5. Security and risk management need a strategic and cultural overhaul 🔐 Digital Science’s new Executive Vice President of Academic, Jonathan Breeze, says the report “gives the whole sector a deeper understanding of the fast-changing needs of academia”.

Coming soon: The State of Open Data 2024: Bridging policy and practice in data sharing. This year, we’ve taken a new approach to the #StateOfOpenData and have conducted an investigation into what is driving successful data sharing in repositories. The findings will be presented in a report later this year, that you can now register to receive when it's available: https://lnkd.in/eieA2Fmv Hear from Mark Hahnel and Graham Smith on how we’ve approached the analysis this year ⬇️ The State of Open Data is an annual collaboration between Figshare, Digital Science and Springer Nature. #StateOfOpenData #OAWeek #ResearchTransformation

Join us for a webinar on Thursday, October 10 at Noon ET where we will discuss “Enhancing Public Access to USDA-Funded Scientific Data with Ag Data Commons” Register here: https://lnkd.in/d_qvErzq The Ag Data Commons is a catalog and repository for public access to data products from USDA-funded or co-funded research. In January 2024, the Ag Data Commons migrated to a new platform provided by Figshare to better meet demand for library services that support compliance with the USDA's Public Access policy. In this webinar the Figshare team will highlight open data trends and discuss the ongoing collaboration with NAL to enhance public access to USDA-funded scientific research data through the Ag Data Commons. We will also discuss how the platform supports funders and institutions in achieving the FAIR principles for research data.
