NFDI x Computer Science

Join us for our NFDIxCS Soirée #10: How LLMs Can Make Scientific Literature More Accessible” 🤖

In this online session, we’ll share practical insights from LLM-based information extraction in real research workflows, including a live demo of a Zotero plugin that brings this approach directly into an existing researcher tool, plus time for Q&A.

🗓 16 Feb 2026 · 17:30–18:00 CET

🗞️ Weekend reads:

There’s a noticeable shift in scholarly #publishing: As researchers produce valuable #software and datasets, appropriate publication is becoming increasingly important to make them citable and accessible in the long-term. The latest NFDIxCS blog post provides a step-by-step guide for publishing #researchsoftware as supplementary material associated with scholarly articles, using improved submission systems offered by Schloss Dagstuhl.
