Tickets for my next @greshamcollege.bsky.social lecture - about weird planets and our place in the Universe - are now available. It's free to attend - in London or online - but they will run out so do register fast.

Happy arxiv:2601 to all who celebrate! 😉🎉🔬 We are so thankful for everyone who uses arXiv everyday to share and discover new research. Happy new year to all - here's hoping for a 2026 full of #openaccess science & lots of new discoveries.

I'd like to propose the following norm for peer review of papers. If a paper shows clear signs of LLM-generated errors that were not detected by the author, the paper should be immediately rejected. My reasoning: 1/ #ResearchIntegrity

As of December 10th, 2025, the arXiv Mathematics section will no longer accept institutional email addresses (i.e., an email address associated with an academic or research institution) as the sole qualifier for an automatic endorsement for new authors. blog.arxiv.org/2025/12/10/u...

arXiv is making some additional changes to stem the flow of generative AI slop and related problematic submissions blog.arxiv.org/2025/12/10/u...

Big changes at NExScI! 🥲 www.ipac.caltech.edu/news/charles...

This has been a challenge for cs.HC: we need folks to step up and support that category. Please contact me if you are interested in moderating either DH or HC! Thanks!

In light of record submission rates and a large volume of AI-generated slop, SocArXiv recently implemented a policy requiring ORCIDs linked in the OSF profile of submitting authors, and narrowing our focus to social science subjects. Today we are taking two more steps: /1

And we will make exceptions for empirical social science research about AI in society – e.g., a study on how AI use affects workers in an organization – on a case-by-case basis. If your paper on an AI topic is rejected and you would like to appeal, email us a short note of explanation. Sorry! /3

1. Pausing new submissions about AI topics for 90 days. That is, papers about AI models, testing AI models, proposing AI models, theories about the future of AI, etc. We will make exceptions for papers that are already accepted for publication (or published) in peer-reviewed scholarly journals /2

Trivial superficial remark: when linking to arXiv papers, it's better to link to the abstract, from which every other version can be found (including an HTML5 version) than the PDF, which requires URL editing to get back to the abstract.

Building trust, building together: In San Diego @continuous.foundation & openRxiv hosted a workshop bringing together developers of scientific communications tools. Implementation focused, and most importantly we got to work together. Learn more: articles.continuousfoundation.org/articles/sci...

He is not wrong. The best I could do while head of school was the prophylactic offering of trying to protect my staff from the worst of it, to preserve a bubble of academic environment.
