EconStor Blog Β» Blog Archive Β» EconStor now includes an AI filtering system Bots and crawlers from artificial intelligence (AI) services are increasingly impacting open access repositories, often causing performance issues and temporary outages. Since implementing a filter system in June, the system stability of EconStor has improved, though download numbers have declined slightly as a result.

The COAR Power Networking session at #LIBER2025 was especially popular since I was joined by COAR Executive Board member, Nathalie Fargier from HAL and CCDS. Repos are going to be more important than ever in the new world of AI. Join the COAR community in charting our path forward!

No surprise that AI is a prime topic at #liber2025. Many projects using AI to improve resource curation. But, nothing ground breaking. On the other hand, interesting conversations over lunch about the potential disruptions ahead for traditional publishing model @rmounce.mastodon.social.ap.brid.gy
