I have been approached by an editor of #JOSS (fediscience.org/@joss@fosstodo) who told me about #JOSE (jose.theoj.org/ - for which I could not find a Mastodon handle).

The idea is to provide a low-hurdle academic reward for open access educational material -- with a particular computational emphasis.

Thing is, that you hardly get an academic “paper” if you develop teaching material. So, this might be appealing for some folk here. 😉

@gicycle @Timalane If you like tough steep climbs: Gaisberg, Trattberg and Rossfeld. As cherry on the cake: a loop over the Postalm, via Fuschl-St Gilgen-Strobl, and back via Voglau-Golling-Hallein. 120km, may be some snow left in April. For an easier day: bike to the Köningssee via Berchtesgaden, or do the "Untersberg Loop".

Dear scientists, could we please agree on a "publication window"? Like one or two months a year in which you are allowed to publish. Then, during the rest of the year we can peacefully read those publications without new ones coming out every day. My list of downloaded, unread PDFs is really getting too long now! 📚

We're delighted to announce that "Scaling Up with R and Arrow", by Nic Crane, Jonathan Keane and Neal Richardson is now available online at arrowrbook.com. In the book, we cover a lot of the practical details and theory behind working with Arrow in R. The paper version will be available soon!

It’s never been more evident that for-profit publishing simply does not align with the aims of scholarly inquiry

Interested in #spatial #networks, #openstreetmap data, and #rstats ? Last week I presented the #sfnetworks package at #useR2024 and gave a simplified example of how it can be used to analyze OSM-based street networks. You can find a notebook with the code on GitHub: luukvdmeer.github.io/UseR2024/

Working on the first #LiteratureReview paper of my PhD, it stroke me that besides #GoogleScholar the commonly recommended search interfaces #WebofScience and #Scopus are behind paywalls. What are the alternatives if you want to support #openscience and #reproduciblescience in an interdisciplinary study?

In einem überfluteten Straßenzug steht eine Werbetafel, auf der ein Mensch zu sehen ist, der offensichtlich mit beiden Händen aus einem Bachlauf trinkt.
Durch die Überflutung bis zum unteren Rand, assoziiert man dass aus der braunen Brühe geschöpft wurde.
Drüber steht: Österreich hier gehts ins gut.

Can we enhance the ways we conceptualize and measure accessibility in our cities? Can we move beyond the view of mobility as just a derived demand, and explicitly acknowledge the benefits it can have for our physical and mental well-being? Does the journey bring us happiness, or just the destination? Happy to think about these questions during the coming years as part of the CITWIN project, which we officially "kicked off" in Liège recently: mobilitylab.zgis.at/en/kicking #mobility #accessibility
