When people have asked me about thoughts on AI & qualitative data, this has been at the top of my list. Sobering to see proof of concept. Lots of research needed on what (de-identified?) human subject data we can still publish under which conditions.

Can ChatGPT generate me a file with all the references from a bibliography I have in word? I tried this out because I'd heard from multiple sources that it could, and I teach and use software for managing references, and this would be a really useful thing to be able to do. #medlibs (thread)

Interesting survey on attitudes toward AI among academics. One thing that struck me: millennials (vs Gen X and boomers) and early-career researchers are *more* likely to distrust AI. fdslive.oup.com/www.oup.com/...

New slides and recording of my workshop on planning #Qualitative data analysis.

the set design and choreography was so beautiful that it was irrelevant that I’m a dummy who can’t understand Spanish

New plan: every time I feel despair about politics, go search for whatever Mamdani is up to that day.

I want to read pretty much everything in @criticalai-journal.bsky.social but there doesn't seem to be a PDF or other full text download option. Reader view and print to PDFs are not formatted well either. What am I missing?

Exciting looking cfp for #qualitative researchers

😭😭😭😭😭😭

ooh, yay, new @zotero.org! www.zotero.org/blog/zotero-8/

Example of #qualitative data synthesis. I appreciate the detain in how the studies were analyzed here, using both a spreadsheet and NVivo.

🔭 What’s the future of reflexivity & how do we put it into practice? New article in @natrevmethodsprimers.nature.com I argue for three priorities 1) evaluation criteria 2) studying reflexivity as a socio-cognitive phenomenon 3) adapting it across research traditions OA: rdcu.be/eX79L

CDS received 584 submissions in 2025; 108 of these were rejected for AI generated or revised content.

Hi #qualitative folks. We've extended the deadline for this CFP on the behinds the scenes process of QDA to Jan 9!

The ACM Digital Library, where a LOT of computing-related research is published (I'd say at least 75% of my own publications), is now not only providing (without consent of the authors and without opt-in by readers) AI-generated summaries of papers, but they appear as the *default* over abstracts.

I love the confident tone of: oh, oops, my bad this time I"ll produce something "refined, highly reliable." And then not.

"This document outlines the reasons why we don’t currently use AI in archival processes – including archival appraisal, acquisition, arrangement and description (processing), digital preservation, and access – as well as how we support our user communities who want to employ AI..." (via Nate Hill)

I don't *need* any of this, but I'd like it all, OMG.
