It's one thing to ask authors to disclose how they used #AI. But it's another to have an articulate policy on what degrees and kinds of use cross the line and make a work unacceptable, especially at a #preprint repository that does moderation without peer review. Here's a thoughtful take by @philipncohen, director of #SocArXiv.

After decades of thought and 3 years of research and writing, I’ve posted my first preprint on SocArXiv.

Universal Basic Income and Value Realization: Metaphysical Insights for Implementation in the U.S.
https://doi.org/10.31235/osf.io/hb6rn_v1

This paper began with a realization that came when I learned my wife was pregnant with our third child — a life milestone that opened up space for this idea.

+++ NEW PREPRINT +++

I have decided to make one of my PhD thesis chapters available as a preprint on #SocArXiv: Policymaking in Times of Crisis: Discursive Dynamics in U.S. Congress, 1960–1990.

You can read it here 🎉

Congratulations to @philipncohen , UMD-Libraries, and #socarxiv on this well-deserved award! I'm so proud to have been involved during the early years to get social science #preprints shared with the world!

A preprint of a paper I wrote that considers practical interpretation of user digital literacy and readiness for learning online. Using primary data to illustrate points, I discuss the difficulty of relying on self skills audits. What people think they know is very different from what they actually do know. Paper in review with Sage journal.

Last month Thomas Heinze published the paper 'Isomorphism among Public Universities in Germany, 1995-2015' on #SocArXiv https://doi.org/10.31235/osf.io/8v6s3. The paper presents a methodology for analyzing isomorphism (structural similarity) of universities.

I just published a review of the paper at https://ludowaltman.pubpub.org/pub/review-isomorphism/release/1. In my review I express some doubts I have about the methodology introduced in the paper.
