I like this idea for a #LettersToTheEditor #preprint server.
link.springer.com/article/10.1

"Such a preprint server would offer three major benefits…: format-free ease of swift communication, increased author visibility and accountability, and avoiding the homelessness of unpublished [letters]."

PS: I've sent letters to journals that had policies not to publish them, but without saying so anywhere. Once I sent a letter to a new journal that had never received or published one and needed time to think about it. Right now #SocialMedia takes up this slack and does a pretty good job. But posting letters as preprints would give authors more space, prevent even published letters from languishing behind #paywalls, and offer better opportunities for #PIDs, #metadata, and #discoverability.

SpringerLinkReinventing the Letter to the Editor in Science: A Dedicated Preprint Server - Publishing Research QuarterlyAlthough letters to the editor (LTEs, or Correspondence) have a wide range of communicative functions within science, they also present several drawbacks, three of which we highlight: editorial ambiguity, technological limitations and skewed perceptions about their format. An assessment of Scopus (September 16, 2023) indicated that letters account for 1.7% to 3.2% per year, relative to articles and reviews, suggesting that the LTE field is undeveloped. We argue that the creation of a new preprint server, which we name CoArXiv or LettersArXiv, would allow LTEs—with timely and valuable knowledge and insight—to be posted in much the same way as other preprints, and would be one way to overcome needed reform of LTE-publishing culture, ultimately expanding the range of science communication channels for multidisciplinary research. We consider that such a preprint server would offer three major benefits for scientific research: format-free ease of swift communication, increased author visibility and accountability, and avoiding the homelessness of unpublished LTEs.

The first
@crossref #metadata sprint concluded successfully! We spent two days in the National Museum of Natural Sciences in Madrid working on different questions, problems, challenges, and gaps in the scholarly record.

Working next to a beautiful paleontological collection made me think about Dobzhanky's words about evolution; without it, biology would be a collection of isolated observations. Why do species share traits? Why do some structures persist while others disappear? Evolution ties it all together...

Similarly, without metadata, the scholarly record would be an overwhelming sea of disconnected texts, data, and ideas... who wrote this? When was it published? How does it relate to other works? Metadata provides the context and connections that realize the #ResearchNexus.

A hot topic in #GLAMR -- and this paper makes a good fist of understanding AI's limitations. Large differentials between #ChatGPT, and #CoPilot / #Gemini.

"this [study] underscores the continued importance of human labor in subject #cataloging work [...] #AI tools may prove more valuable in assisting catalogers especially in subject heading assignment, but continued testing & assessment will be needed..."

Here’s which messaging app is most secure, according to experts

Signal is widely considered the most secure consumer messaging app because third parties can verify its security claims, and the company does not have access to metadata about your conversations

The Power of Metadata – HMC at Girls Day 2025 👭 📝

Our #HMC colleagues from Hub Matter at @hzbde hosted their first metadata-themed workshop for Girls Day at #HZB!

They introduced Data & Information Science to 11 curious girls from Berlin and played a fun, newly developed metadata game. 😊

Big thanks to our brave participants for exploring this exciting field with us – we had a blast! 💙

Looking forward to next year! ✨
