The first
@crossref #metadata sprint concluded successfully! We spent two days in the National Museum of Natural Sciences in Madrid working on different questions, problems, challenges, and gaps in the scholarly record.

Working next to a beautiful paleontological collection made me think about Dobzhanky's words about evolution; without it, biology would be a collection of isolated observations. Why do species share traits? Why do some structures persist while others disappear? Evolution ties it all together...

Similarly, without metadata, the scholarly record would be an overwhelming sea of disconnected texts, data, and ideas... who wrote this? When was it published? How does it relate to other works? Metadata provides the context and connections that realize the #ResearchNexus.

Happy Love Data Week! #Metadata offers context and insights into how scholarly works came to be shared and connected. See what you can learn about scholarship from the #researchnexus this #LoveData25. The Crossref API Learning Hub provides resources to help #researchers access metadata for studying #scholarlypublishing, funding trends, and citation patterns. Explore metadata retrieval and analysis tools here: crossref.org/learning

#Metadata goes beyond discoverability—it's the backbone of evidence, trust, and the #scholarly record. Explore insights from Ginny Hendricks, Kornelia Korzec, Sylvia Pegg, Keara Mickelson, Jen Mellor, and Magaly Taylor in our blog: https://www.crossref.org/blog/metadata-beyond-discoverability/ #researchnexus
