Science Is Drowning in AI Slop Peer review has met its match.

AI slop is everywhere in scientific publishing, we’re only catching the easy-to-detect stuff (like when you happen to peer review a manuscript with a AI-hallucinated reference of a paper you apparently wrote)

In February we celebrate Love Data Week at the KTH Library as a part of the Nordic Love Data Week celebrations.

This year’s Love Data Week theme is “Where’s the Data?”, Join us for exiting webinars and discussions about data!

It's only a week away to the TCC Africa Webinar "Reframing University Rankings: Visibility, Open Science & Global South Leadership." Our PM Giovanna Lima will share about the interplay between responsible assessment and rankings. You can register at us02web.zoom.us/meeting/regi...

Next year, KTH turns 200! 🎉
KTH researchers are invited to submit proposals for the exhibition "The World of Tomorrow – KTH’s Research for a Sustainable Future", held in the library entrance hall. Share your solutions for a better, more sustainable world!

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.

Artificial intelligence research has a slop problem, academics say: ‘It’s a mess’ AI research in question as author claims to have written over 100 papers on AI that one expert calls a ‘disaster’

Does AI research have a slop problem? At least some experts claim so. What do you think? #research #AI www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

"The nuclear-water nexus" edited by @perhogselius.bsky.social and @siegfriedevens.bsky.social

In the book 25 authors investigate how access to water has shaped the atomic age in fundamental ways.

Forskare: ”Den största vetenskapliga krisen någonsin” Falska, massproducerade och AI-genererade forskningsartiklar skapar en vetenskaplig kris, menar forskare. En ny plan i fyra punkter ska komma åt problemet.

Right now an article containing a call for reform of scientific publishing is actually making headlines in major Swedish newspaper @dagensnyheter.bsky.social . Paywalled article here www.dn.se/varlden/fors... but the original article is of course open access: doi.org/10.1098/rsos...

Image of numbers of outputs from KTH researchers published in different repositories.

We've also started to try to put together what datasets we can find (and what we can't find). From KTH and from other Swedish universities. And we have more to say about finding published data, as well as about future development that could simplify this!

#researchdata #openresearchinformation
The landscape of publishing research data in Sweden is described in a recent report some of us helped put together.
doi.org/10.5281/zeno... (sorry - Swedish)

Publishing research data is becoming common. Research data is an important research output.
But finding outputs other than traditional articles is still not easy.
We're looking into how we, as a university library, can find different outputs created by KTH researchers.
