As last year, Konrad visited the WikiCite 2017 event that seeks out „…to design a central bibliographic repository, as well as tools and strategies to improve information quality and verifiability in Wikimedia projects.“ This year he took the opportunity to do a couple of interviews with participants.
This interview is with Daniel Mietchen. Daniel is a biophysicist and open scientist currently working at the University of Virginia as a data scientist. He is also part of the organizing committee anf initiated the Zika corpus project. In this interview he provides us with a bit of background of his work on the Zika corpus project and how it relates to WikiCite. Enjoy!

This interview is with Jonathan Dugan. Jonathan is a bioinformatician by education, has until recently worked for PLOS (PLOS Labs) and is one of the organizers of WikiCite. Enjoy!
Viele andere Dinge fordern gerade unsere Aufmerksamkeit, von daher haben wir etwas gebraucht um mal wieder eine Episode aufzuzeichnen. Das bringt auch uns hin und wieder zum Nachdenken warum man das hier macht und wie man es am besten machen könnte. Vielleicht könnt Ihr als Hörer ja ein paar Punkte davon verstehen, oder zumindest nachvollziehen. Abseits von Metathemen gibt es noch ein/zwei Newsmeldungen und im Nachgang zu dieser Episode gibt es noch ein paar Veröffentlichungen von Gesprächen die Konrad auf der WikiCite 2017 führte. Viel Spaß!
Potzblitz, die letzten beiden Episoden liegen noch gar nicht lang zurück, da sind wir wieder da. Nachdem wir die beiden Interviews mit dem Team vom PLOScast und OpenML zum Ende der Open Access Week veröffentlicht haben, dachten wir uns, dass wir mal wieder eine klassische Folge zeitnah hinterherwerfen sollten. Also gibt’s mal wieder einen News-Überblick – klar, dass der nach der Open Access Week recht OA-lastig ausfällt, es geht aber daneben auch um Open Peer Review und einige andere Dinge. Viel Spaß!
As you certainly have recognized, we have published a couple of short episodes from the Barcamp Science 2.0, the event organized by the Leibniz Research Alliance Science 2.0 in connection to their annual Science 2.0 conference. This episode is a short wrap-up together with Guido Scherp, one of the organizers of the Barcamp (you know him from episode 40 already). Guido is providing his impressions from the two events, we share ours and discuss a few things.
Konrad visited this year’s WikiCite event, „…an event focused on designing data models and technology to improve the coverage, quality, standards-compliance and machine-readability of citations and source metadata in Wikipedia, Wikidata and other Wikimedia projects.“ He took the ad-hoc opportunity to sit down with two members from the organizing committee, Lydia Pintscher and Dario Taraborelli, and chat with them about the concepts of WikiCite and WikiData in general as well as the WikiCite event in particular. Unfortunately the recording quality is not optimal since we did not have the proper equipment available. Still, it was an opportunity that couldn’t be missed. So, hopefully it isn’t too bad and we hope that you can still enjoy the conversation!
