I’ve been documenting this for months (since 28.09.2025). Here’s a quick breakdown of how http://Amazon.de has mishandled Tom Hiddleston’s metadata for over a decade!

We are super excited to announce the publication of our substantive report "International Metadata Recommendations and Platform-Specific Requirements for #OABooks and Chapters"
The report addresses a longstanding challenge in #OAbooks publishing: how to create, manage, and disseminate metadata that actually works across today’s fragmented scholarly ecosystem. #MetadataMatters
Bringing together multiple perspectives of not-for-profit #DiamondOA book publishers, librarians, and open infrastructures, the report takes a closer look at research, policy analysis, and community insight to support publishers, libraries, and aggregators working to improve the discoverability, accessibility, and sustainability of books and chapters – with a particular focus on small-to-medium-sized, scholar-led and institutional publishers.
Wishing all of our publishers and friends in the Open Access books space a restful winter break and a very happy new year. We'll still be here if you need us, while we continue work behind-the-scenes on some exciting developments and releases for Thoth in 2026 🎆 #OAbooks #openinfra #MetadataMatters

Congratulations to Noyam Journals for receiving a Crossref Metadata Award as part of our 25th anniversary celebrations.
ICYMI, in our interview, Naa Kai Amanor-Mfoafo shared: "We prioritise inclusion of ORCID IDs, Abstracts, and References as these increase visibility of our articles."

We are truly honoured to have received a finalist nomination for the 2025 @alpsp Award for Innovation in Publishing 2025!
Hannah and Toby just gave their presentation to the ALPSP panel of judges, and we'll know more in about two months' time, as award winners will be announced at this year's ALPSP Conference in Manchester (Sept 10-11).
Really wonderful to see more and more interest across the sector in what we've been developing within the @copim community - and also good to keep in mind the importance of that growing network of #openinfrastructures that have come together to explore alternative ways to OA publishing of #OAbooks based on interoperable #opendata ...
So this is also a shoutout to the important work happening at @openbookcollect, @PublicKnowledgeProject (with OMP), @crossref, @ORCID_Org, and many others not on Mastodon, incl. OAPEN, DOAB, OaEBU DT, and the OA Switchboard ...
Metadata meets LEGO! 🧱✨
At the Lange Nacht der Wissenschaft in Berlin, our amazing colleagues from @hzbde / #HMC Hub Matter brought metadata to life – with a hands-on LEGO challenge at the HZB's Adlershof campus.
A fun way to highlight what Helmholtz Metadata Collaboration is all about: making data understandable, reproducible – and a little more fun!
What’s driving this shift? Growing emphasis on reproducibility, machine-readability, and responsible AI all require high-quality, well-managed, and accessible data.
No matter the discipline, Data Stewards are becoming vital connectors between policy, technology, and scientific practice.
💬 Where are you seeing data stewardship take shape?
