Interesting reading here 👇 about #AI, #teaching in Universities, and assessing student's #knowledge building and understanding. No simple answer. We cannot remain in a position of total rejection (for valuable ethical reasons), nor of uncontrolled acceptance. www.nature.com/articles/d41... ⚒️ 🧪

www.nature.com/articles/d41... They write: #AI promises rapid and polite review on papers BUT also that: "LLMs can provide feedback in seconds, potentially without conflicts of interest. But there is a big difference between a process that is efficient and one that is valid." ⚒️ 🧪

Great pleasure to inform you that TEKTONIKA #DOAJ is in the #open-access database OpenAlex ! ⚒️ OpenAlex is a free, open alternative to WOS or SCOPUS which are under paywall. It even records more sources, in particular in humanities. openalex.org/works?filter...

To encourage more qualitative than quantitative assessments, and to promote open science, @cnrs.fr is unsubscribing from WOS. ⚒️ 🧪 Read in FR: www.cnrs.fr/fr/actualite...

As we are finalising our next editorial to close Tektonika #DOAJ volume 3, we invite you to read or re-read previous ones, starting from 👇 "Tektonika: The Community-Led Diamond Open-Access Journal for Tectonics and Structural Geology" ⚒️ tektonika.online/index.php/ho...

Basic principle: any use of AI by authors must be declared, and justified, and must follow the rules detailed in our guidelines 👇 Respect transparency and #openscience #ethics

A very important point for our reviewers: It's strictly prohibited for them to use online AI tools to summarize or evaluate submitted manuscripts. Uploading a manuscript, or part of it, to third-party systems breaches manuscript's confidentiality and authorship rights. ⚒️

At Tektonika #DOAJ we now have guidelines about #AI usage. We encourage our authors and reviewers to carefully read them. ⚒️ 🧪 We will explain those guidelines and comment on AI usage in our next editorial. tektonika.online/index.php/ho...

We inviting you to TEKTONIKA #DOAJ 1st Open Meeting which will be held on Wednesday 5th November, 3-5 pm GMT. Infos in ALT text and below. ⚒️ More setails will be shared soon, but to sign up to attend please click this link to register your interest: forms.gle/JZb8mKvgPBAC...

Great to see our paper exploring the mechanisms for deep earthquakes in the southern East Africa Rift System published #OpenAccess in @wearetektonika.bsky.social 😀 Probably the last in a long line of papers that have explored this region's tectonics and seismic hazard through the PREPARE project!

Section 👇 from Shnizai & Walker in Tektonika 2024 @wearetektonika.bsky.social shows structure of Jalalabad basin, E #Afghanistan. It's not right across the recent #earthquake but more to the W. The earthquake may have occurred on a thrust fault equivalent to the one to the left of the section. 1/2 ⚒️

🚨 New paper alert! ⚒️ Are you interested in rift tectonics and the East African Rift? Check out how lineaments that are highly oblique to the Main Ethiopian Rift can still deform via local strain reorientation. 😃 Link to our new @wearetektonika.bsky.social paper: tektonika.online/index.php/ho...

TEKTONIKA web site not accessible today. Sorry. We are working to fix the issue. Coming back soon.

🆕 🔔 We have started a new Volume (3) of #TEKTONIKA. Already 3 papers published in this vol. 3/ "Investigating Global Correlations Between #Earthquake -generated #Tsunamis and #Subduction Zone Characteristics", by I. van Zelst et al ⚒️ tektonika.online/index.php/ho... #tectonics #tsunami #DOAJ

Want to publish in #geomorphica? This #factfriday we summarize all facts you need to be aware of. Full guidelines can be accessed on geomorphica.org. Want to review? Info is summarized next #factfriday!

In many physical sciences, editors are not remunerated (or at least not in a substantial way), and reviewers are already volunteers. Some good examples from the geoscience community incl @weareseismica.bsky.social @wearetektonika.bsky.social @geomorphica.bsky.social although all fairly young still

Imagine what could have been accomplished with $8Bn, if publishing was free. "...a total of $8.349 billion were spent on APCs between 2019 and 2023. We estimate that in 2023 MDPI ($681.6 million), Elsevier ($582.8 million) and Springer Nature ($546.6) generated the most revenue with APCs." 🧪

Do you make scientific figures? Then check out this handy little guide that @fabiocrameri.ch and I have put together for our editorial piece in the newest volume of @wearetektonika.bsky.social ✏️ The figure is available from @s-ink.org - download it, share it, use it!

@drlperezdiaz.bsky.social and I wrote a little mighty piece on how #geoscience visuals need to be different today than 60 years ago.

Be sure to check out the latest issue of @wearetektonika.bsky.social! Really proud to be supporting this endeavour in a small way 💪

🤩 9 amazing research papers and a brilliant editorial, all freely available, thanks to the collective effort of our community #DOJ #OpenScience ⚒️👇🏽

🆕 #Tektonika Volume 2 Issue 2 is now complete and online ! A great editorial by @fabiocrameri.ch and @drlperezdiaz.bsky.social "The Evolving Role of Science Visuals in Geoscience: From Simple Illustrations to Storytelling Tools", and 9 papers on various subjects. ⚒️ tektonika.online/index.php/ho...

BEWARE! The earthquake predictors have arrived and they’ve preemptively blocked many (maybe all?) of us that fought back against their pseudoscience and harmful messaging on the other site. If you have a question about earthquakes be sure to talk to an actual expert - many are here!
