I was reading - with a mug of tea - The Patch (link above) by John McPhee, a decades-old favourite author of mine - and came across this short essay amongst many fine others…

[I am, of course, biased in this regard, but I also like well-presented metrics – and use cases being met are my favourite!]

Stanley Cup playoffs are just around the corner, starting this weekend.

I'll post some #data #visualization #dataviz for each team pairs before the playoffs start. First, we'll start with the eastern conference. Atlantic, we'll first have the battle of #Ontario with #Toronto #MapleLeafs vs #Ottawa #Senators. These are rolling 5 days #metrics for each team, allowing for easy comparison. #hnom #stanleycup #nhl #hockey

Follow the link for a fully interactive plot:
sports.dionresearch.com/nhl/TO

Interactive line plot fir various metrics, paired for Toronto and Ottawa. Since the 4 nations faceoff, Toronto and Ottawa have been closer than you'd expect. Ottawa's PP and PK have been edging Toronto lately. Ottawa taking less penalties, but I suspect this will change when the puck hits the ice for the playoffs.

WebAIM Million Results Show That Shopping Sites Have Worst Accessibility, by @cerovac_a11y:

cerovac.com/a11y/2025/04/webai

Bogdan on Digital Accessibility (A11y)WebAIM Million results show that shopping sites have worst accessibility | Bogdan on Digital Accessibility (A11y)WebAIM published results (opens in new window) of their seventh automated accessibility evaluation of the home pages for the top one million web sites across the globe. Automatic accessibility testing is perfect for such large scale testing, but we need to understand that automatic tools only cover parts of relevant Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) … Continue reading "WebAIM Million results show that shopping sites have worst accessibility"

Johan Cruyff on the limits of data:

‘What I know for certain is that the conclusions I would draw from experience are different from the ones based only on figures. Because if Lionel Messi scores three times out of every ten attempts, he might be criticized by someone who sees only the statistics for being just 30 per cent effective. I’d say: just copy him and see if you can get up to that level. It’s practically impossible.’

Another useful viz for tonight's #nhl #hockey game between #Montreal #Canadiens and #Philadelphia #Flyers. It is my rolling #metrics #stats plot, but in comparison mode.

In this case, solid line for #MTL and dashed line for #PHI. Click on legend 2 interact. Each pair of lines are grouped, so clicking on oZS% will show/hide that metric for both MTL and PHI. Rolling mean window is for previous 5 games.

Powerplay percent and offensive zone starts percent, in a rolling mean over previous 5 games. Solid line is Montreal, dashed is Philadelphia. You can zoom in/out, scroll, move, click on legend groups (show/hide metrics)

#Bibliométrie prête à l'emploi avec @OpenAlex : retour d'expérience - @cnrs
- Centre national de la recherche scientifique
Le CNRS se désabonne de Scopus tout en maintenant l’abonnement au WoS et développe un partenariat pluriannuel avec OpenAlex #metrics
cnrs.hal.science/hal-05003502v

cnrs.hal.scienceBibliométrie prête à l'emploi avec OpenAlex : retour d'expérienceEn décembre 2023, le MESR a mis en place un partenariat pluriannuel avec OpenAlex. En janvier 2024, le CNRS annonce se désabonner de Scopus (tout en maintenant l’abonnement au WoS) et va “opérer progressivement une bascule vers des outils bibliographiques libres et compatibles avec la politique de science ouverte de l’organisme”. Le DGDS (Directeur Général Délégué à la Science) mentionne OpenAlex comme l’une des alternatives possibles. En février 2024, le Centre for Science and Technology Studies (CWTS) publie la version ouverte du classement de Leiden ou Leiden Ranking. Cette version ouverte utilise les données d’OpenAlex. Face à cet engouement pour OpenAlex, l’Inist-CNRS a décidé de se mettre en capacité de produire des études bibliométriques à partir de cette base bibliographique en utilisant le logiciel open source Lodex, développé par l’Inist-CNRS. Un groupe projet a été créé en avril 2024 afin d’établir une méthodologie d’interrogation de l’API OpenAlex, de traitement des données bibliographiques et de constitution d’indicateurs bibliométriques à l’échelle d’un laboratoire, avec LODEX. Il est à noter que ce projet n’avait vocation (i) ni à analyser le taux de couverture d’OpenAlex par rapport à d’autres bases bibliographiques, (ii) ni à faire une étude comparative entre une étude réalisée à partir d’OpenAlex avec des études existantes réalisées à partir d’autres bases bibliographiques.
