Working on a scientific paper and need to quickly insert a citation?

If you’ve used #JabRef before, you might know the “push to application” feature. Now, JabRef supports cite-as-you-write (CAYW)! (Also known as “cite while you write”)

In #TeXstudio, press c three times to open the citation dialog—no plugin needed.

🛠 Setup guide:

Big thanks to @phlp for implementing this!

JabRef’s Blog · JabRef offers basic Cite As You Write (CAYW) functionalityHello, I’m Philip, one of the Google Summer of Code (GSoC) students at JabRef this year, and I will be giving you a small introduction on JabRef’s new Cite As You Write (CAYW) feature.

🚨 Event for the Stanford open source community!

Your research code matters. Let’s treat it that way.

On Aug 7, pyOpenSci + OpenSource@Stanford (#OSPO) will share how open peer review supports better tools, cleaner code, and academic credit.

🗓 Thursday, Aug 7
⏰ 11AM MT / 10AM PT

I know many researchers don't get to choose their operating system

and, regardless, installing an operating system is something most people never do,

but truly one of the biggest barriers I confront in helping people use or write #ResearchSoftware is Windows itself.

We’re excited to announce the 𝗥𝗦𝗔𝗔𝟮𝟱 𝗔𝗰𝗰𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗙𝗲𝗹𝗹𝗼𝘄𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗽.

This initiative is designed to encourage individuals who are deaf, hard of hearing, blind, have low vision, or have other disabilities to join us as we prepare for RSAA25 - helping to ensure our online event is as accessible and inclusive as possible.

Given that some members of our organising committee are blind or have low vision, we will prioritise applicants who are deaf, hard of hearing, or have other types of disabilities, to help bring even greater diversity of experience to our accessibility work.

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗥𝗦𝗔𝗔𝟮𝟱 𝗔𝗰𝗰𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗙𝗲𝗹𝗹𝗼𝘄 𝘄𝗶𝗹𝗹:
- Attend RSAA25 with a free ticket
- Share their insights by posting during #RSAA25 on Mastodon (if they wish)
- Create a short, open-access blog or report after the event

The successful fellow will receive an initial payment before the event and a final payment once the report is published.

Deadline for applications is 2am UTC Thursday the 12th June 2025

Results of the application will be provided on the 27th of June 2025

You can find the RSAA25 Accessibility form here.

Questions, concerns, or feedback? Please email: info@rseaa.org
(We also welcome feedback if you feel the language we have used could be improved.)

Continued thread

Everyone wants the free software, the 25% time investment. Few want (to pay for) the long-term maintenance.

This technological debt from the maintenance perspective is especially acute in research software engineering as there is little or no monetary incentive.

Researchers, labs and granting agencies should step up long-term software maintenance commitments.

We are finally on Mastodon, time for a little #introduction 👋 !

Brian is a #FOSS simulator for biological #SpikingNeuralNetworks, for research in #ComputationalNeuroscience and beyond. It makes it easy to go from a high-level model description in Python, based on mathematical equations and physical units, to a simulation running efficiently on the CPU or GPU.

We have a friendly community and extensive documentation, links to everything on our homepage: briansimulator.org

This account will mostly announce news (releases, other notable events), but we're also looking forward to discussing with y'all 💬
