LLMs’ impact on science: Booming publications, stagnating quality

Once researchers turn to LLMs, paper counts go up, quality does not.

Hi #Academics,

When you read a paper in your field and disagree with something that the authors did (e.g. interpret results incorrectly) or did not do (e.g. not cite an extremely relevant paper), how do you usually react:

#Research #Academia #AcademicChatter #ScientificPublications #Pubpeer
Edited to add the Pubpeer option, you might have to vote again, sorry

Do nothing and move on
37%
Complain about it to colleagues or social media, or your blog
35.3%
Write to the authors and explain your concerns
11.6%
Write a Pubpeer or journal "commentary" to explain your concerns
4%
Not an academic / see results
12.1%

From the "Attention is all you need" paper, one of the most interesting statements of who made which contribution. The author order in the published paper is claimed to be random (but look carefully).

Just amused by this particular solution to the problem of dividing up credit/contributions for a scientific paper.

Dear colleagues, many of us want to get our manuscripts finished and off our desk before the holiday season. Submission rates massively increase these days. But please also allow the editors and reviewers to have a break. So please do not expect that your manuscript will be screened, forwarded, handled or reviewed during the holidays. Most of us do this on a voluntary basis. Thank you for your understanding!

#France institutional repository of #scientificPublications @hal_fr has announced that it will now allow to collect automatically #openAccess version of papers they list.
This involves #openAlex data and then locating potential files via #unpaywall .

Note for those in France: they're willing to have people test this, notably those who have open access papers not yet in their base.

I found a pretty cool science website, there are tons of free science related pdf's. It's called Research Gate, researchers can join free as well as regular citizens. I've already downloaded some soil biology papers.
