Simon Porter will be at #ICSSI this week showcasing a significant step forward in ORCID data accessibility! His poster, "Enhancing the Accessibility of ORCID Public Data via Google BigQuery," introduces a new way to access our public data file. Exploratory data analysis is easier than ever. This beta service, generously sponsored by Digital Science, opens up innovative use cases. If you're at #ICSSI, stop by Simon's poster or download it here:

ICSSI. Been there, done that.

I didn't manage to take slides of @mollymking's ICSSI talk as I was backlogged with slides from other lightning talks, but I liked her talk on 'mesearch' - research on yourself. Molly has done mesearch, so this was meta-mesearch. The finding that some demographics get a citation boost for certain kinds of mesearch, but others don't, was intriguing.

How do different values affect peer review and how do these influence editorial decisions, asks Daniel Scott Smith? Very different reviews can make decisions uncertain.

Across STEM, they find accuracy and novelty are the most important values in peer review reports, social factors (biases) have little effect, and dissensus increases editorial gatekeeping. It doesn't matter if reviewers disagree.

Breakaway and Zombie journals: what happens after mass editorial board resignations. @KyleSiler looks into what happens when a journal and its community separate.

Glossa vs Lingua & QSS vs Journal of Informetrics. Lingua suffered, JoI didn't - but both 'Zombies' published more Chinese studies whereas the European and North American researchers moved to the OA breakaways.

Juan Mateos-Garcia of Google DeepMind wants equitable use of their tools like AlphaFold. They solved protein structure prediction in 2020 and this is helpful for drug discovery, but researchers in LMIC have barriers to adoption.

Used OpenAlex & PDB to study 20.6K papers citing AlphaFold. LMIC researchers are underrepresented, but study of diseases affecting LMICs is overrepresented - esp. work on natural products.

Corporate research is dominating AI science, says Nur Ahmed, but they're not engaging with responsible AI research. They're choosing speed over safety.

They used supervised machine learning on 6 million papers and found few firms were working on responsible AI. A handful attended responsible AI conferences vs hundreds at other AI conferences.

When they do engage, it's on explainability not societal impacts and human rights.

Sai Koneru says rapid growth of the literature makes it hard to keep up with relevant work. Can LLMs discern the hypotheses reported in abstracts? No - currently it's tough for natural language models to do this.
