More evidence of the corrosive impact of AI on #scholarship #integrity. According to this research in the biomedical context, #fabricated #citations existed in: ~1 in 2,828 papers (2023), ~1 in 458 (2025), ~1 in 277 (early 2026). A twelvefold increase.

Horrifying. The recommendations here are obvious (e.g. #retractions); but I might also suggest that sanctions against authors who are found to have submitted such work are necessary (e.g. desk rejection).

"In addition to my own #scholarship and #teaching on #Jewish #folklore, I also proudly serve as the co-chair of the #American Folklore Society’s #JewishFolklore and #Ethnology Section and as an associate editor of the #academic journal Jewish Folklore and Ethnology. My work, like that of my colleagues, depends on engagement with communities, with #archives, and with #scholars across borders.

It is precisely that kind of engagement that is now under threat.

Within #folkloristics, #ethnomusicology examines music as a form of cultural knowledge and expression, a way of understanding identity, history, and society. Recently, the group Music Scholars for #Palestine has pushed for the Society of Ethnomusicology (SEM) to adopt a resolution aligned with the #Palestinian Campaign for the #Academic and #Cultural #Boycott of #Israel (#BDS)."

Rückblick und Ausblick zum (Un)Ruhestand – A look back and a look ahead at active retirement

(English below)

Nach über 40 Jahren ist es soweit: ich gehe demnächst in den Ruhestand. Aber die Arbeit des Ökumenischen Eine-Welt-Kreises für unser Bildungsprojekt in Ruanda geht weiter!
Ich werde dem Eine-Welt-Kreis weiterhin angehören und die Leitung des Projekts fortführen.
Gleichwohl ist diese Zäsur Gelegenheit gewesen, zurück und auch nach vorn zu schauen. Dazu hatte ich Gelegenheit, im Radio ein längeres Interview (Das Ruanda-Projekt, Autor: Djuana Mannel) zu geben und ich lade Sie ein, dieses mit Hilfe dieses Links anzuhören. Die musikalischen Einlagen wurden in diesem Podcast entfernt. Die ausführliche Sendung mit Liedern unserer Patenkinder wird zu folgenden Terminen beim Wartburgradio wiederholt: 12.05. 10-11.15 Uhr; 16.05. 15-16.15 Uhr; 18.05. 16-17.15 Uhr

After more than 40 years, the time has come: I am retiring soon. But the work of the Ecumenical One World Circle on our educational project in Rwanda continues!
I will remain a member of the One World Circle and continue to lead the project.
Nevertheless, this turning point has been an opportunity to look back and also to look ahead. I had the chance to give a longer interview on the radio (Das Ruanda Projekt, author: Djuana Mannel – in German only) and I invite you to listen to it via this link, in case you understand German. The musical interludes have been removed from this podcast. The full programme, featuring songs by our sponsored children, will be repeated on Wartburg Radio on the following dates: 12 May, 10.00–11.15 am; 16 May, 3.00–4.15 pm; 18 May, 4.00–5.15 pm (German only)
