While we convene at @jcls-io.bsky.social, computer scientists have solved computational narratology... by asking LLMs. CS PhDs should be advised better.

Recently I heard a senior scholar, third author on a paper, preventing a young researcher to share open data by saying: "the data is mine and should be requested to me". 🤮

This sounds like noble stuff until you learn MIT just gutted its libraries. To quote, uh, Sally Kornbluth, without basic humanistic research, the pipeline will run dry. In daily life, people may not feel the effects right away, or even in 10 years. But we will feel it. fnl.mit.edu/may-june-202...

This is a fairly large (EUR 29M) initiative at Universität des Saarlandes around using data and computational methods to understand and support societal tranformations. As part of this initiative, *five* professorships will be created. Talk to me about details.

"Who do I review for?" Very interesting meeting by @FORRT on criteria people use to choose whether to review for "big bad publishers" or for scholarly-led initiatives -> it's complicated! - do I want to work for free for for-profit publishers exploiting academic labor? - do I have chance of […]
