Won’t get hoaxed again

https://gavialib.com/2026/05/wont-get-hoaxed-again/

In this presentation, I explore the idea of "AI plagiarism" not as a simple violation, but as a mismatch between new modes of text production and outdated systems for assessing knowledge and contribution.

:doi: https://doi.org/10.13140/RG.2.2.25560.87049

If text no longer reliably reflects thinking, what exactly are we evaluating?

This is part of my workshop at the Science Festival 2026.

Since 2024, DataCite's Global Access Fund has supported 20 projects expanding equitable access to DataCite infrastructure. See how training, outreach, and infrastructure development in regions where PID adoption is still emerging are helping to build a more open, global community: https://doi.org/10.5438/29r5-rk13

DataCite currently supports citation tracking and reporting across several services, like DataCite Commons and the DataCite REST API. We’re seeking to improve these offerings and better understand how you and your institution monitor the impact of research outputs. Take our brief survey by 15 May to help shape the future of citation & impact reporting:

Gave a short online lecture on altmetrics today. Main point: altmetrics measure attention, not quality. Sometimes they capture real interest - sometimes just noise. Attention ≠ impact.

This symposium at Brown highlights a shift: AI, community-centered research, and new publishing formats are no longer add-ons — they are redefining the field itself.
The real question now: Who builds and governs these infrastructures?

An interesting study on humour in scientific talks (531 presentations, 870 jokes):

67% of jokes failed.
Only ~9% got real laughter.

Men joke slightly more, and native English speakers are more likely to succeed.

🙂 https://doi.org/10.1098/rspb.2025.3000

O yes... Joking in a foreign language is hard, and even in your own, it only works if the audience truly gets it.

Disincentivizing AI slop

https://gavialib.com/2026/03/disincentivizing-ai-slop/

🍀 Sometimes the best research discoveries feel a little like luck.

When scholarship is shared openly, it becomes easier for scholars, students, and communities to find the ideas that inspire their work.

That’s the power of open knowledge.

A real case of how administrative interpretation can block international research collaboration. A Ukrainian researcher was deemed ineligible because a municipal (public) university was not considered “state” 🤯 under a specific interpretation.

This raises important questions about consistency and transparency in international funding schemes.
