📢 Exciting news! #RRID (Research Resource Identifier) may soon be part of DataCite Metadata Schema! 📝 Have thoughts? Your feedback matters! Check out the Request for Comments (RFC) and share your insights by May 6, 2024! datacite.org/blog/metadata-…

datacite.orgRequesting Your Feedback on DataCite Metadata Schema Changes - DataCiteThe DataCite Metadata Working Group has been working on the next batch of Metadata Schema changes—and we need your feedback! Today, we are sharing a new Request for Comments (RFC) with several proposed changes to the DataCite Metadata Schema. Since Schema 4.5 was finalized, we have been working on numerous ideas put forward by the DataCite community—some of which are reflected in this RFC. The set of changes we are sharing here is not yet a complete schema version; rather, this RFC contains an assortment of changes that may be released in different versions—for example, some changes may be released in Version 4.6, while others may be scheduled for later versions. The implementation details and release timing of specific changes will depend on complexity, backward compatibility, and the DataCite development roadmap.

The lack of #reproducibility in #scientificresearch causes delays and wasteful spending in many labs. @sciscore tackles this issue by verifying reporting #standards, reducing incompleteness, and boosting experimental reproducibility. #RRID #OpenScience youtube.com/watch?v=rprRxe…

youtube.comHow can SciScore improve reproducibility in your research?The inability for scientists to reproduce each other’s work has significant effects on preclinical studies in both delays and expenditure. SciScore is a methods review tool designed to improve reporting standards, to minimize unnecessary delays due to incompleteness and maximise robustness, so that experiments can be reproduced optimally. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Social Media ──────────────────────────── https://www.linkedin.com/showcase/sciscore/ https://twitter.com/sciscore https://twitter.com/Anitabandrowski https://twitter.com/mathein ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Science Animated ──────────────────────────── http://www.sciani.com/ https://twitter.com/Sci_Ani https://www.facebook.com/scianimation/ https://sciani.com/terms-conditions/ ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ #antibodies #research #softwaretools ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Have you ever wondered whether a preprint has been published already? A new tool, PrePrintMatch, was created by Peter Eckmann and has been used to visualize global inequities in publishing. ow.ly/rwpf50NcuZz ow.ly/ICEV50NcuZB

ow.lyPreprintMatch: A tool for preprint to publication detection shows global inequities in scientific publicationPreprints, versions of scientific manuscripts that precede peer review, are growing in popularity. They offer an opportunity to democratize and accelerate research, as they have no publication costs or a lengthy peer review process. Preprints are often later published in peer-reviewed venues, but these publications and the original preprints are frequently not linked in any way. To this end, we developed a tool, PreprintMatch, to find matches between preprints and their corresponding published papers, if they exist. This tool outperforms existing techniques to match preprints and papers, both on matching performance and speed. PreprintMatch was applied to search for matches between preprints (from bioRxiv and medRxiv), and PubMed. The preliminary nature of preprints offers a unique perspective into scientific projects at a relatively early stage, and with better matching between preprint and paper, we explored questions related to research inequity. We found that preprints from low income countries are published as peer-reviewed papers at a lower rate than high income countries (39.6% and 61.1%, respectively), and our data is consistent with previous work that cite a lack of resources, lack of stability, and policy choices to explain this discrepancy. Preprints from low income countries were also found to be published quicker (178 vs 203 days) and with less title, abstract, and author similarity to the published version compared to high income countries. Low income countries add more authors from the preprint to the published version than high income countries (0.42 authors vs 0.32, respectively), a practice that is significantly more frequent in China compared to similar countries. Finally, we find that some publishers publish work with authors from lower income countries more frequently than others.

New INCF endorsement standard: MBF file format!!! We are pleased to inform you that on January 25 2022, the INCF Standards and Best Practices (SBP) committee endorsed the MBF file format as a standard, with the standard number INCFSN-22-01. incf.org/mbf-file-forma…

incf.orgMBF File Format v 4.0 | INCFThe neuromorphological file format balances structure with flexibility by storing each modeled object as a unique data element and providing mechanisms for grouping any number and type of data elements. File-level metadata is retained to provide detail on the origin of the sample, ensuring that the provenance of derivative data is tracked and that important source information is not separated from the corresponding data.

Congratulations to the @INCF Active Segmentation for ImageJ group for publishing on "The Active Segmentation Platform for Microscopic Image Classification and SegmentationThis is a nice output from a long running and engaged group. mdpi.com/2076-3425/11/1…

mdpi.comThe Active Segmentation Platform for Microscopic Image Classification and SegmentationImage segmentation still represents an active area of research since no universal solution can be identified. Traditional image segmentation algorithms are problem-specific and limited in scope. On the other hand, machine learning offers an alternative paradigm where predefined features are combined into different classifiers, providing pixel-level classification and segmentation. However, machine learning only can not address the question as to which features are appropriate for a certain classification problem. The article presents an automated image segmentation and classification platform, called Active Segmentation, which is based on ImageJ. The platform integrates expert domain knowledge, providing partial ground truth, with geometrical feature extraction based on multi-scale signal processing combined with machine learning. The approach in image segmentation is exemplified on the ISBI 2012 image segmentation challenge data set. As a second application we demonstrate whole image classification functionality based on the same principles. The approach is exemplified using the HeLa and HEp-2 data sets. Obtained results indicate that feature space enrichment properly balanced with feature selection functionality can achieve performance comparable to deep learning approaches. In summary, differential geometry can substantially improve the outcome of machine learning since it can enrich the underlying feature space with new geometrical invariant objects.
