High-temperature fusion plasma experiments conducted in the Large Helical Device (LHD) of the National Institute for Fusion Science (NIFS), have renewed the world record for an acquired data amount, 0.92 terabytes (TB) per experiment, in February 2022, by using a full range of state-of-the-art plasma diagnostic devices. The International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER), which is currently under construction in France through the international collaboration of seven parties, is expected to generate approximately 1 TB of data per experiment in 10 years, and LHD is currently the only experiment in the world that produces data closely aligned to ITER. The promotion of "Open Science," in which large-scale research data assets are utilized and shared across society, was adopted as a joint statement at the G7 meeting held in Sendai, Japan in 2023. NIFS started full-fledged efforts toward Open Science by establishing the "Open Access Policy" in February 2022 and the "Research Data Policy" in October 2022.

Toward an Integrated Resource Hub: The Case for a Curated Master List of Publicly Available Research Databases

Abstract Despite the exponential growth of publicly available scientific and scholarly databases, the lack of centralized, user-friendly access to these resources remains a persistent barrier for students, researchers, educators, and independent learners. This paper outlines the rationale for curating a comprehensive, categorized list of publicly accessible databases across scientific and…

It is the idea that some data should be freely available to everyone to use and republish as they wish, without restrictions from copyright, patents, or other mechanisms of control. Advocates of open data argue that these restrictions are against the common good and that these data should be made…

Thanks Data for selecting our data-descriptor as the cover story for the April issue of the journal:

I am happy to support Open Science practices by both encouraging my students to follow them and by walking the path myself

This dataset has been already used in 2 studies done in collaboration with Heidi Toivonen and in one in collaboration with Akpofure Enughwure. Both my co-author and me are looking forward to any further collaborations that may arise. Overall, I am considering this adventure as one my best self-citations so far!

Encuentro de Datos Abiertos en Zaragoza

Algunas impresiones y reflexiones de mi reciente intervención en el II Encuentro Nacional de Datos abiertos en Zaragoza.

Hace ya más de 10 años que trabajo en el tema de los datos abiertos y sus aplicaciones en periodismo y ciencia, así que para mí fue toda una alegría asistir como invitado al II Encuentro Nacional de Datos Abiertos celebrado en Zaragoza el pasado 14 de septiembre. En él pude comprobar, de primera mano, cómo hay una serie de administraciones regionales plenamente implicadas en la transformación que…

WAHOOO I have so much stuff to post but I keep forgetting or not having time 😭

This week I've been responsible and worked on my comic, so I have earned another day of just drawing Data <333

(I kind of make it sound like I don't like working on my comic, but that isn't true. I'm just WAYYY too fixated on Data for my own good.)
