    The growing importance of research data management (RDM) in academia goes hand in hand with an increasing diversification of tools and methods. At the same time, it remains essential to meet generic needs through robust infrastructures. In North Rhine-Westphalia, a state wide concept on RDM, the “Landeskonzept FDM”, was published 2024 as a strategy in which universities set out chief...

    Taking inspiration from guerrilla warfare, I discuss a framework for managing scientific research that addresses the complexity of research while advancing goals of transparency and reliability. Real science is complex, there is no single scientific method, and the AI kids are talking about automation. But science is a chaotic network of theories, data, models, graphs, comparisons, summaries,...

    Research in urban sustainability, climate adaptation, and resilience increasingly relies on the integrating of heterogenous data sets, including Earth observation (EO) products, fieldwork and surveys, administrative records, crowdsourcing data, and qualitative stakeholder knowledge. Advances in EO, artificial intelligence (AI) and digital urban technologies have significantly expanded the...

    Abstract
    We analyze plant genome data with the aim of understanding genome evolution and linking genome information to plant traits, thereby also supporting breeding of better performing and more resilient crops.
    Bioinformatics integrates sequence information, mainly from DNA sequencing, with high-throughput data for example from genomics and phenotyping. The data life cycle in...

    Agricultural research increasingly depends on the integration, standardization, and sustainable reuse of heterogeneous research data. Data are generated across disciplines such as agroecology, breeding, plant production, soil science, and vegetable production, and at spatial scales ranging from genes and plants to fields, landscapes, and the global level. The diversity of data types—including...

    Data science in the agricultural domain faces unique data quality challenges. Agricultural datasets are often collected from sensors in the field, processed, published, and made accessible through Research Data Infrastructures (RDIs). The FAIRagro consortium, with more than 30 partners, is building a FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable) research data management system for the...

    Large comparative studies increasingly depend on the availability of consistent, high-quality public datasets. We encountered this challenge while investigating the evolution of plant genes. To maximize the number of species in our analysis, we surveyed the publicly available genome sequences of flowering plants in the largest database at the NCBI. While genome sequences of many species are...

    Machine Learning (ML) in agriculture is often approached from a model-centric perspective, where the primary focus lies on developing and optimizing model architectures and learning algorithms, rather than on the data itself. This is reflected, for example, in the common practice of training and evaluating ML models on static benchmark datasets with the goal of achieving high predictive...

    In computational biology, the availability and careful handling of high-quality digital data are essential for obtaining reliable and biologically meaningful results. In silico analyses depend on accurate sequence information, and many investigations begin with publicly available genome assemblies retrieved from resources such as the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI;...

    As social scientists, economists investigate the determinants and consequences of decisions made by humans and by the institutions they create, across all areas of life. Given the breadth of their research, economists draw on a vast range of data sources, including their own surveys; laboratory, online and field experiments; publicly available datasets; administrative data; data collected by...

    Data-sharing of clinical patient-level data has the potential to accelerate research but is strongly restricted by data protection regulations such as the GDPR. Synthetic data generation (SDG) is a promising alternative to direct data-sharing, but release of synthetic data requires evaluation of fidelity, privacy, and downstream utility. These assessments are non-trivial and often require...
