Jogging as fast as I can to stay in place...?
Hello LiveJournal.
The title of this entry is metaphorical. I have not been doing that, exactly. However, I think I have read that before somewhere! It looks like it's a song lyric.
Reading A Street Cat Named Bob, it looks like if I were to move to London as I had fantasized for years on end, my diet would change for eating more Indian food rather than Chinese food, as is currently the case. Then again, it probably might depend on where I was planning.
I am on the 5th bullet point out of XVI learning about ResearchGate. (It doesn't make sense to me either, but I'm bendable so that I won't break!) Errr, it's the Springer Nature Privacy Policy. Their legal mumbo-jumbo... I have "the spoons" now to get through it so I'm eating it now.
I think it's important to reference now and again to see if it's changed. For example, I don't know what OpenAlex is! I googled, "The OpenAlex Dataset is a comprehensive, open-source bibliographic database offering extensive information on academic publications (Priem et al., 2022). Succeeding the Microsoft Academic Graph (MAG) (Sinha et al., 2015; Wang et al., 2019), it is maintained by The OpenResearch Foundation."
And let's see what CrossRef is! It looks like a metadata website. (The Cambridge dictionary says metadata is "information that is given to describe or help you use other information").
Then let's see what Lens.org is! The lady in the video explains it in a nice way, but I still don't think I really understand.
You see, this is why I decided to play with the animals instead. I think they get lonely and this stuff keeps changing every time I look at it. There are more animals than the sampling I thought of now but I am letting the oxen off for now since if I try to name everyone then somebody is going to get upset with me that I forgot them, but I mean, as I DID name that particular one, I guess it is worth a tag. After all, I think it IS one of the 12 Chinese zodiac signs. Indeed, it says, "If you were born in the years 1925, 1937, 1949, 1961, 1973, 1985, 1997, 2009, or 2021 you are the Year of the Ox."
