When people have asked me about thoughts on AI & qualitative data, this has been at the top of my list. Sobering to see proof of concept.
Lots of research needed on what (de-identified?) human subject data we can still publish under which conditions.

Can ChatGPT generate me a file with all the references from a bibliography I have in word? I tried this out because I'd heard from multiple sources that it could, and I teach and use software for managing references, and this would be a really useful thing to be able to do. #medlibs (thread)

Slide: Researchers and AI: Survey Findings

Text: OXFORD
UNIVERSITY PRESS
Researchers and Al: Survey Findings
aby Boomers & Gen X have a larger proportion of 'Pioneers', whereas Millennials have a larger proportion of 'Challengers'
% of each researcher profile per generation

*bar graph: baby boomers and Gen X both described as 8% β€œchallengers”; for millennials, the number is 17%*

It should be noted that 'generation' was not asked directly; it was calculated using reported age. The sample is smaller as the 40-49 years' age category cut across the generation bands and was therefore excluded from this reporting.
The remaining groups were categorized into broad generational bands using the following age categories:
Millennials: Up to 39 years
Generation X: 50 - 59 years
Baby Boomers: 60 - 79 years
Silent Generation: 80+ years
N=1,416
14

Researchers and Al: Survey Findings
Early Career Researchers have a larger proportion of 'Challengers'
% of each researcher profile per career stage
 
*bar graph giving breakdown of percentage of early-career vs. mid- and late-career academic attitudes. 16% or ECRs are designated β€œchallengers” vs
12% (mid) and 8% (late)*

Generally across career stages there are similar proportions of each researcher profile, the exception being a larger proportion of 'Challengers' in the Early Career Research category, compared to other career stages.
Career Stage was based on self-reported categorization of 'early, 'mid", or late.
N=2,088

Interesting survey on attitudes toward AI among academics. One thing that struck me: millennials (vs Gen X and boomers) and early-career researchers are *more* likely to distrust AI. fdslive.oup.com/www.oup.com/...

I've always struggled with how to talk about #qda in an hour given the huge range of ways that people do qual work. But I've found it helpful to make use of a couple of mental models of the research process, types of qualitative quality, and levels of analysis strategies...

I want to read pretty much everything in @criticalai-journal.bsky.social but there doesn't seem to be a PDF or other full text download option. Reader view and print to PDFs are not formatted well either. What am I missing?

Like a call for the journal on their webpage? I'm not sure how this product relates to overall Springer brand content (which is massive). But it may be worth reaching to your library folks, especially if it's a journal they subscribe to.

Example of #qualitative data synthesis. I appreciate the detain in how the studies were analyzed here, using both a spreadsheet and NVivo.

Title: The future of reflexivity in practice: building a collective methodological agenda by Audrey Alejandro -Reflexivity is increasingly recognized as a cornerstone of high-quality research, yet methodological guidance on how to do reflexivity in practice remains limited. Drawing on emerging initiatives to operationalize reflexivity, three priorities for advancing a collective agenda are identified β€” turning reflexivity into a teachable, actionable set of methods.

πŸ”­ What’s the future of reflexivity & how do we put it into practice? New article in @natrevmethodsprimers.nature.com
I argue for three priorities 1) evaluation criteria 2) studying reflexivity as a socio-cognitive phenomenon 3) adapting it across research traditions

The ACM Digital Library, where a LOT of computing-related research is published (I'd say at least 75% of my own publications), is now not only providing (without consent of the authors and without opt-in by readers) AI-generated summaries of papers, but they appear as the *default* over abstracts.
