Our new bibliometric analysis on electrochemical etching and deposition reveals an interesting picture: today, #deposition dominates globally — it is a key technology for supercapacitors, electrocatalysis, and biosensors:

And in Ukraine? We still have strong traditions in #etching — a legacy from the Soviet-era school. It is a valuable heritage, but it's long past time to move forward.

DOAJ recommends the 🔖 EIFL Guide

💎 Guidelines, policies and templates for publishers of Diamond #OpenAccess journals

The guide builds on recognized frameworks such as the Basic Criteria for indexing in #DOAJ as well as the Best Practices Checklist for Diamond OA Publishers and the Diamond Open Access Standard (DOAS) developed by the #DIAMAS Project, where EIFL is a partner.

Update. "Accelerating Access to Research Results: New Implementation Date for the 2024 #NIH Public Access Policy"
nih.gov/about-nih/who-we-are/n

"I am excited to announce that one of my first actions as NIH Director is pushing the accelerator on policies to make NIH research findings freely and quickly available to the public. The 2024 Public Access Policy, originally slated to go into effect on December 31, 2025, will now be effective as of July 1, 2025."

PS: This announcement is from the Trump-appointed NIH director, #JayBhattacharya. It's another sign that Trump has not revoked or weakened the #OSTP #NelsonMemo, despite other attacks on research, including #takedowns of #OpenAccess texts and data. At the NIH, the largest funding agency, implementation of the Nelson memo is even speeding up.

**Threshold fertility for the avoidance of extinction under critical conditions**

“_The results indicate that the fertility rate should exceed 2.7 to avoid extinction. The extinction threshold is reduced by a female-biased sex ratio. We argue that the present results explain the observed phenomena of female-biased births under severe conditions as an effective way to avoid extinction._”

Cuaresma DCN, Ito H, Arima H, Yoshimura J, Morita S, et al. (2025) Threshold fertility for the avoidance of extinction under critical conditions. PLOS ONE 20(4): e0322174. journals.plos.org/plosone/arti.

journals.plos.orgThreshold fertility for the avoidance of extinction under critical conditionsThe developed countries now face a low fertility crisis. The replacement level fertility (RLF) is conventionally considered to be 2.1 children per woman, in which demographic stochasticity arising from random variations in individual offspring numbers is ignored. However, the importance of demographic stochasticity casts doubts on the adequacy of the replacement level fertility of 2.1, especially in a small population. Here, we investigate the extinction threshold for the fertility rate of a sexually reproducing population caused by demographic stochasticity. The results indicate that the fertility rate should exceed 2.7 to avoid extinction. The extinction threshold is reduced by a female-biased sex ratio. We argue that the present results explain the observed phenomena of female-biased births under severe conditions as an effective way to avoid extinction. Furthermore, since fertility rates are below this threshold in developed countries, family lineages of almost all individuals are destined to go extinct eventually.

If you are wondering why your data librarians, medical librarians, and schol comm librarians just started profusely swearing --

NIH just moved up implementation deadline for Public Access 2.0 from December 31 to July 1.

For Open Access, it's yay, great, lovely. for implementation...there's swearing.

Iniciativa incrível! Espero que sirva de incentivo para outras :mario_luigi_dance: :blobBone_jump:

"Imagine uma editora com a missão de disponibilizar conhecimento e insights para todos gratuitamente, garantindo um alto padrão.

Bem, as três universidades de Berlim e da Charité agora uniram forças para fazer exatamente isso.

Eles fundaram a "Berlin Universities Publishing". Nem os autores nem os leitores pagam. O PDF dos livros está disponível gratuitamente sob uma licença Creative Commons.

Chama-se "Diamond Open Access". Eles estão apenas começando. Muito mais por vir.

Shearer, K., Rodrigues, E., Manola, N., Malaguarnera, G., Pronk, M., & Proudman, V. (2025). REPOSITORIES: Key Infrastructure For Μaintaining European Research Εxcellence. Zenodo. doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.1511984

🙌 Treat repositories as critical research infrastructure and ensure dedicated institutional budget

🙄 The usual AI blah-blah

🕳️ Mentions cyber incidents, data loss, and technological obsolescence but fails to address censorship and willful deletion

ZenodoREPOSITORIES: Key Infrastructure For Μaintaining European Research ΕxcellenceFollowing the launch of the joint strategy by OpenAIRE, LIBER, SPARC Europe, and COAR in 2023, aimed at strengthening the European repository network and the publication of the initial report on the survey of the European repository landscape in December 2023, the group proceeded to conduct a community consultation, in two waves, that was completed at the end of 2024.   The final results of this study capture important insights from the repository community, shedding light also on emerging trends, challenges, and opportunities in shaping the European Open Science landscape. This report, named IMPACT-REPO Action Plan is the culmination of over two years of work to document the current state of repositories in Europe and identify key roles and functionalities for the future; it highlights the importance of a robust repository network for safeguarding Europe’s research production and advancing scientific excellence in Europe, despite the low awareness about the important role repositories they play in the European research ecosystem.   The IMPACT-REPO Action Plan aims to address this lack of visibility by articulating four key portraits of the role of repositories: Repositories for impact, inclusiveness, trust, and innovation; it also illustrates the key contributions of repositories in open science, while at the same time identifying points of action that will help ensure the viability of European repositories in the future to come.
