We are delighted to welcome Professor Ludo Waltman on 24 April 2024, who will postulate a democratisation of the use of scientometrics in the fourth lecture of the Swiss Year of Scientometrics (SYoS).

The national negotiations between swissuniversities and Elsevier and also with Taylor & Francis did not lead to an agreement by mid-December 2023. The ETH Library, together with the other universities affected, is preparing for a situation without a contract from January 2024.

In collaboration between the ETH Library and  EPFL, the third lecture of the Swiss Year of Scientometrics (SYoS) will take place in Lausanne on 7 February 2024. Dr Elizabeth Gadd speaks about the challenges of research assessment in the context of open science.

The books making up ETH Professor Louis Rollier’s (1859–1931) personal collection have been added to e-rara as a virtual private library.

A wide range of events awaits you at extract. Immerse yourself in the world of insects and plants from over 200 years of collecting and experience exciting stories.

The event will take place on 11 October 2023 in collaboration with the CHESS. Prof. Emanuel Kulczycki will explore how ontological understanding of science influences what we count and how we interpret it.

Are open data sources reliable enough to perform bibliometric analyses? TOBI aims to answer this question by assessing the quality of open datasets. Among its first deliverables, an app is now available.

The ETH Library offers a new 3D experience. Digitised 3D models of objects allow a new way to access the Collection of Scientific Instruments and Teaching Aids.

Insects and plants collected over the course of more than 200 years highlight the importance of wildlife conservation – the first exhibition at extract, the new exhibition space in the ETH main building.
