AI in Scholarly Publishing — SSP Pulse Check Report - The Scholarly Kitchen The first of SSP’s new polling initiative, Pulse Check, explores AI in scholarly publishing and set out to understand how our communities are navigating this monumental shift.

The Society for Scholarly Publishing’s new report traces how publishers use #AI and the risks and possibilities they see in this technology. Melanie Dolechek summarizes the key findings on the Scholarly Kitchen blog.

The funny thing is these new "ai search" or less vulnerable to filter bubbles than regular Google. If you search for flat earth say you may get flat earther webpages... Ask a LLM even if you insist it will most certainly lecture you it's not true...ha

This whole ‘LLMs/GenAI are inherently sycophantic and will only give you what you want to hear and hence it cannot be used for retrieval meme is really oversold and librarians need to be careful not to fall for it (1)

We've got ISSUES. Literally.

We scraped >100k special issues & over 1 million articles to bring you a PISS-poor paper. We quantify just how many excess papers are published by guest editors abusing special issues to boost their CVs. How bad is it & what can we do?

Iranian filmmaker Jafar Panahi comments on protests gripping his home country and says that while he is certain "this regime will fall," he worries it will unleash further cycles of violence.

Panahi's latest film is "It Was Just An Accident."

Most of my last 2–3 years can be summed up by this post. The belief that information retrieval is going through a fundamental shakeup, librarians really need to study the nuts & bolts of IR to be helpful guides to our users. But sometimes I think I might be leading people on a quixotic quest (1)

Search and Ranking in CDI

Primo really goes into detail about the relevancy ranking behind the hood but I doubt even one in a hundred librarians have really looked at it. Even few fully understand it. knowledge.exlibrisgroup.com/Primo/Conten...

El 'fallido' sistema de revistas científicas: la mayoría de los estudios más citados salen en publicaciones 'menores' Durante décadas, los países han dado más importancia a publicar en determinadas revistas, consideradas de prestigio, que al contenido de los artículos; esta política ha pervertido el sistema y perjudi...

"¿Qué es la excelencia? Si el 80% de todos los artículos científicos se publican en revistas de supuesto prestigio, ¿el 80% de los artículos “sobresale”? ¿Puede “sobresalir” el 80% de algo?

All of these problems will get better. In fact, I think some of these issues are currently due to computational/cost tradeoffs. If you let consensus, undermind use chatgpt PRO type computational cost, it might be better at source selection or reasoning about them.(5)
