Fragilité des grandes bases de données scientifiques centralisées... mais force par rapport aux modèles automatisés. Article qui compare l'efficacité de #Pubmed par rapport à des modèles IA. Et qui rappelle le contexte actuel d'une forte inquiétude sur la pérennité et l'intégrité des bases publiques en cas de changement de gouvernance (anti #DEI).

Proud to announce the latest publication from RESPOND partners from University of Amsterdam “Designing algorithms against corruption: a conjoint study on communicative features to encourage intentions for collective action”

#Scientometric indicators in #research evaluation and research #misconduct: analysis of the Russian #university excellence initiative

"The results showed that #RUEI #universities had a significantly higher number of retracted #publications in #WoS - and #Scopus -indexed #journals, suggesting that pressure to meet quantitative scientometric #indicators may have encouraged unethical research practices and #researchmisconduct."

Anne Greule, Prediger der Transformation. Alain von Lille und die Pariser Schulen in der zweiten Hälfte des 12. Jahrhunderts

Vers 1200, une nouvelle institution voit le jour à Paris: l’Université. Mais qu’est-ce qui a motivé les maîtres à se regrouper en une communauté et à réglementer leur activité? Un personnage jusqu’ici sous-estimé dans ce processus de transformation fut Alain de Lille.

Government of Canada: The plan to scan: digitizing out-of-copyright publications. “A year ago today, Library and Archives Canada (LAC) embarked on an ambitious project in collaboration with Internet Archive Canada (IAC) to digitize a collection of up to 80,000 out-of-copyright publications from 1322 to 1920. This project was born out of a merging of mandate and mission: preserving Canada’s […]

GPT-fabricated scientific papers on Google Scholar: Key features, spread, and implications for preempting evidence manipulation https://misinforeview.hks.harvard.edu/article/gpt-fabricated-scientific-papers-on-google-scholar-key-features-spread-and-implications-for-preempting-evidence-manipulation/
"Roughly two-thirds of the retrieved papers were found to have been produced, at least in part, through undisclosed, potentially deceptive use of GPT. The majority (57%) of these questionable papers dealt with policy-relevant subjects (i.e., environment, health, computing), susceptible to influence operations. Most were available in several copies on different domains (e.g., social media, archives, and repositories).
Two main risks arise from the increasingly common use of #GPT to (mass-)produce #fake, scientific #publications. First, the abundance of fabricated “studies” seeping into all areas of the #research infrastructure threatens to overwhelm the scholarly communication system and jeopardize the integrity of the scientific record. A second risk lies in the increased possibility that convincingly scientific-looking content was in fact deceitfully created with #AI tools and is also optimized to be retrieved by publicly available academic search engines, particularly #GoogleScholar. However small, this possibility and awareness of it risks undermining the basis for #trust in #scientificKnowledge and poses serious societal risks."

It's always a bit intimidating to arrive alone and late at the party but here we go, mastodon!

As an #artist and #researcher I critically examine #technology from a social, cultural and political perspective. I create projects that usually explore the transposition of #surveillance and control phenomenons happening on the #web into physical, material, and performed spaces.

As a #graphicDesigner and adjunct professor I focus on designing (& teaching how to design) #artistBooks #zines #experimental #publications and more recently #webtoprint publications. I'm also passionate about lightweight, #handmade and artistic #websites.

And finally, as a #french person who recently moved to #nyc and is chronically and anxiously online, I'm looking to make new (IRL) friends
