So far, the best review on using GenAI in #EvidenceSynthesis & #SystematicReviews Current evidence doesn't support GenAI use without human involvement/oversight. For most tasks other than searching, GenAI may have a role in assisting humans doi.org/10.1017/rsm.... #AI #HTA #LLM #medlibs

Very exciting opportunity! #rigourinresearch

I’m sorry but if your students use AI to write papers and you use AI to grade them zero school is happening. You are running together on a hamster wheel

Today (20.03.25, Thursday) at 14.00 I'll give an online talk "Hijacked journals: current challenges and solutions" (in English). I'd like to thank Landesinitiative openaccess.nrw for hosting the event. Information and links are here: openaccess.nrw/index.php/mc...

Columbia Journalism Review tested eight generative AI search tools and found their answers were wrong 60% of the time, and the paid ones actually fared worse than the free ones. Meanwhile, millions of people trust the way they present total bullshit with confident language.

If you missed my Bristol talk, worry not! It's been recorded and chaptered for you to watch/listen to. :) "Using AI in Automation of Evidence Synthesis: What Does Research Tell Us?" www.youtube.com/watch?v=4ZM3... #AI #Automation #ML #EvidenceSynthesis #SystematicReview #HTA #HEOR

2025 scoping review of LLMs to support SRs = not ready yet. 📠SR lit searching n=15; 41% of 37 papers 📠Searching most frequent SR step aided by LLMs; also, most reported as non-promising (n=8) 🏔️Rated as non-promising ie. "limitations" #medlibs still needed jclinepi.com/article/S089...

@dangerwhale.bsky.social Paul, you're awesome. That's the message.

Are you ready to hear an amazing speaker on OS and editorial policies? Wait no longer!!! #openscience P.S. Please, do swear 🙃

A highly publicized new paper that reported high levels of microplastics in human brain tissue contains duplicated images, according to the study’s principal investigator. @callimcflurry.bsky.social reports for @thetransmitter.bsky.social

You as non-editor researchers can also have influence here! Write to your journals' editorial board or EIC, asking them to make explicit a policy that they will not comply with these requests. Sometimes all it takes is a quick email for an editor who didn't think about it or to prioritize it more.

"Publication ethics and professional standards define the work of medical journals, editors, and researchers. These are safeguards of best scientific practice and integrity—and will not yield to bad practice like gag orders, suppression, and authoritarian whims." tinyurl.com/24v53u6y #medlibs

ah cool, an archive of all CDC data before they tampered with it

So, I finally joined. Be gentle!
