Hey #AcademicTwitter, let's talk about diamond open access publishing—that's when neither authors nor readers pay. Which organizations do a good job in supporting it? I don't mean publishers, I mean research&funding orgs. What are the best examples?

Research paper authors: do you designate a place where you invite peers to ask questions or discuss your work? Do you use a platform? Is there one standard for your community? Or do you expect that email/conferences/offline should do?

Is there a bibliometric service that tracks references in different versions of arXiv.org preprints? Most places (SAO/NASA Astrophysics Data System (ADS)/OpenAlex/Semantic Scholar) seem to only show the latest.

Linear algebra fans, what's the best decomposition?

As a new year's resolution, we will offer our visitors a hybrid setup for their talks to our group. We will stream them at #VSFSpeakersCorner VirtualScienceForum. In fact, two of our upcoming visitors are already scheduled! Check the talks: (1/3)

Who knows of a good source for designing API a software package? I am specifically interested in scientific/numerical software and preferably Python. Also if you can formulate a useful principle right away, do share. #OpenScience

So without further ado, here's our first CPOW of the year! Our very own Mondriaan!* ✨ *search for "New York City I" (1942) 2/2

About switching a group to git: this may seem obvious, but it's easy to overlook. The group members must agree that git is the primary source for all work product, and commit to using it as the only way of sharing progress. This may take years to incorporate into daily practice.

This is only relevant for TU Delft employees. Accessing manuscripts from outside the campus now requires installing some browser plugin😒. Turns out there's a more convenient way ✨: antonakhmerov.org/misc/paper_pdf…
