"It might be easy to dismiss the idea of ISO 9001 as just another tool to encourage best practice among publishers. But journal certification would fill a long-standing gap in the chain of external oversight from conduct to translation of research." @jabyrnesci.bsky.social writes in @nature.com !

Have you read this article? It has caused a lot of turmoil in the scientific community. Many resonated with it (for what I saw on LinkedIn), many others, like me, understood the point but did not buy the conclusion. I simply cannot treat it as a job. If you make a career out of something you like

I find it particularly soothing to go over a code you wrote a few weeks earlier, rewrote it, restructure it, document it, make it modular. My guilty pleasures?

On 7 Oct 2025, ISKO UK hosted its 8th Biennial Conference, “Knowledge Organization in the Age of AI”. We welcomed: 🌍 80 participants from 25 countries 💡 10 expert speakers Thanks to all who joined us for a global & engaging event. 🖥️ Slides: iskouk.org/isko-uk-conf...

Yesterday, I gave a talk to the #ISKOUK Conference, presenting the status quo and challenges of creating Knowledge Organization Systems of Research Fields. This slide summarises what I learned during these years in trying to use AI to generate them. It's cool, it's artistic, but bloody hard!

When reviewing papers, I often read among the 'contributions' a list of things the authors have done, e.g., conduct a comprehensive user study, an evaluation, an analysis of future development. This is ridicolous as these are **prerequisites** for a rigorous scientific work, not contributions.

Even small errors in automatic generation of a KOS can have a disproportionate effect on its performance. @angelosalatino.bsky.social #ISKOUK 2025 Conference

 talks about 'Knowledge organization systems of research fields: overview and automatic generation' at the #ISKOUK 2025 Conference

At the conference, @angelosalatino.bsky.social reviewed existing KOSs for academic disciplines and discussed how AI can help build them. He asked: How can we integrate existing KOSs of research fields? It's an important question for both KO and scientometrics. #AI #KnowledgeOrganization #ISKOUK

New adventure. Visiting UniofEdinburgh to start a UKRI grant by the #Metascience unit: “Tracking Stars and Unicorns” We'll look at successful and unsuccessful proposals within UKRI to track research trends, assess UK competitiveness, and understand appropriate funding mechanisms to support ECRs

Just received reviews from a journal* paper I submitted, and one review was clearly for another paper. The Editor in Chief simply can't care to fix things *Not sure if I must oblige by shaming the journal, but it's an Elsevier one and has an IF of 8 (that must mean sth in terms of reputation)

I feel old when I have a coding issue, and I go to seek a solution on StackOverflow (yes, a bit anachronistic), and then you find a solution from 16 years and 4 months ago. And it works!
