An open approach for classifying research publications
Published January 24, 2024 in Leiden Madtrics
Leiden Madtrics
In this post Nees Jan van Eck and Ludo Waltman introduce an open approach for classifying research publications, contributing to a broader development toward open approaches to bibliometrics.Classifying research publications into research topics or research areas is crucial for many bibliometric analyses. While there are lots of approaches for classifying publications, most of these approaches lack transparency.

Mini RAG using Neo4j

Research Graph
Authors: Nakul Nambiar, Amir Aryani Knowledge graphs, which offer a structured representation of data and its relationships, are revolutionising how we organise and access information. With large amounts of data, it sometimes becomes difficult to draw insights from it. This blog article examines how to combine Neo4j, a graph database, with OpenAI’s Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) model to build a robust knowledge management system.
Adding automated end-to-end testing to Rogue Scholar

Last week I reported a small change to the Rogue Scholar science blog submission form. By asking for the homepage URL of the blog instead of the feed URL, I hope to make it easier for users to register their blog. At the same time, I fixed a bug in the submission form, caused by an issue with the database backend. Unfortunately, that bug fix didn’t work as expected.

On 24th January 1984, the Macintosh computer was released, as all the media are informing us. Apparently, some are still working. I thought I would give my own personal recollections of that period. In fact, the Mac reached UK stores via a dealership only in 1985.

In the late 1980s, as I recollected here[1] the equipment needed for real time molecular visualisation as it became known as was still expensive, requiring custom systems such as Evans and Sutherland PS390 workstations.

The Rogue Scholar science blogging archive joined the fediverse in August of last year. This week I want to report on an updated strategy for Rogue Scholar, and what it means for science blogs participating in Rogue Scholar. In August I launched a Mastodon instance at Rogue Scholar Social that accepted Science Blog bots as accounts, (semi-)automatically publishing summaries of blog posts via Rogue Scholar.
Open sourcing the news

I read a lot of news, but I do not like being consumed by it. The balance between what’s happening now (news), the short or long past (history), and potential futures (foresight or analysis) is a rough one to keep. This post is about making sure that sources are readily accessible where possible, straight from the news. Part of not becoming consumed by the news and its biases is doing source research and verifying information.
