[Online] The Internet Archive for Data Scientists
·OnlineOnlineWith a mission of "Universal Access to All Knowledge", the Internet
Archive is building a digital library of Internet sites and other
cultural artifacts in digital form for the last 29 years.
In this talk, core infrastructure engineer Pablo Duboue will walk us
through the project and its external APIs, which he helps
maintain. As a former data scientist himself, Pablo will discuss how the
different APIs can be useful for data scientists.
Outline
By the end of this session, participants will be able to:
- The Internet Archive Project: history, core infrastructure engineering, the Wayback Machine, Open Library, digitization centres.
- Using the IA through the Website: creating accounts, uploading material, derivatives, collections.
- Using the IA through the Python `ia` Tool: instalation, IA APIs, IA and crawlers.
- Contributing to the IA: uploading your own models / data, volunteering, copyright reform, donations

[Online] PREreview: Transforming Peer Review with Researchers, for Communities
·OnlineOnlineThis session introduces participants to PREreview, a community-driven platform designed to make peer review more open, inclusive, and equitable. We’ll explore the current research publishing landscape—from preprints to common challenges in traditional peer review—and discuss why transparent, community-centered reviewing matters.
Participants will learn how PREreview connects with open-source infrastructure and platforms like ORCID and Zenodo, see a demo of how to review manuscripts and datasets, and gain practical tools from the Open Reviewers workshop to write constructive, socially-conscious reviews. We’ll also share upcoming developments, ways to get involved, and how to engage through programs like PREreview Champions.
Outline
By the end of this session, participants will be able to:
- Describe what PREreview is, why it was created, and how it fits into today’s research publishing landscape.
- Explain the role of preprints and open peer review, including the benefits and challenges of current review systems.
- Understand how PREreview supports open scholarship, including collaborations with ORCID, Zenodo, and other open communities.
- Use the PREreview platform to find, write, and publish constructive open reviews of manuscripts and datasets.
- Apply best practices for socially-conscious, constructive peer review, drawing from the Open Reviewers workshop.
- Identify upcoming PREreview features and ways to get involved—through reviewing, contributing to open source, or joining the Champions program.
