Update. Here's a great opportunity to #reuse older #data for contemporary #climate research. "An archive of over 1,600 sets of meteorological, magnetic and tidal observations taken from 1706-1915 from across the globe has been digitised for the first time." https://royalsociety.org/news/2026/06/historic-weather-data-archive/ #Digitization #RoyalSociety

Update. Here's a good example of the #reuse of older #data in #psychology and #linguistics. "Highly gendered languages are linked to larger personality differences between men and women." https://www.psypost.org/highly-gendered-languages-are-linked-to-larger-personality-differences-between-men-and-women/ From co-author Roxana Hofmann: "We wanted to highlight how grateful we are for all the people who made the data public, which allowed us to test our research question. This included the anonymized personality trait data assessed across multiple countries, language typologies from the World Atlas of Language Structures, and also pretrained word embeddings that allowed us to estimate the gender association of words across multiple languages." Despite this, the authors chose to publish in a paywalled journal. https://psycnet.apa.org/doi/10.1037/pspp0000600 #OpenData #OpenScience
