Generative AI may be changing not only how we write scientific papers, but also who we write them with.

A fascinating new #preprint by Akira Matsui finds that the decades-long decline in solo authorship halted, and in many fields reversed, after the release of ChatGPT.

:oa: https://arxiv.org/abs/2607.10780

A provocative hypothesis: AI may be taking over some of the work previously done by human co-authors.

Next was "Why Trust Science?" by Naomi Oreskes. Oreskes delivers an inspired, rigorous interrogation of the nature of science, its history, its faults, and why it's essential. The deep exploration of what we mean by science and how the many processes and norms that comprise its essence is incisive and illuminating, and the discussion of how different groups can distort science is essential. Highly recommend

Forschungsdatenprovider, Repositorien und FDZ sind längst zu einem Grundbestandteil der #OpenScience Transformation im deutschen Wissenschaftssystems geworden. Allein in @re3data sind mehr als 500 Einträge mindestens einer deutschen Organisation zugeordnet. Diese Vielfalt deutet zum einen auf die fachliche Breite hin, zum anderen aber auch auf die Herausforderung von Base4NFDI, übergreifende Dienste für eine Deutsche #Forschungsdateninfrastruktur anzubieten.

Diese Aufgabe wird von unserer Forschungsgruppe am @DZHW sozialwissenschaftlich begleitet. Durch die #WiBef konnten wir dabei bereits Perspektiven von über 6000 Forschenden in Deutschland zur @NFDI sammeln.

Ab heute startet die qualitative Befragung von Vertreter*innen Deutscher Forschungsdatenrepositorien. Dabei möchten wir zum einen mehr über die Bedeutung der Basisdienste für die Repositorien lernen. Zum anderen wollen wir uns aber auch wissenschaftssoziologisch der Frage nähern, welche epistemische Bedeutung diese Akteure im Wissenschaftssystem von morgen haben.

I heard Annihilation was about grief or relationships. I'm interested af in Scavenger's Reign.

I feel like we have a rough indentation / substructure of how we will process things from birth, but that every event thereon will shape it further.

As well, we know ourselves in reference to others: "I'm like A, not like B, but most like C. What lies beyond C? I might see myself reflected best over there."

"Rules do not exist to bind you; they exist so you may know your freedoms."
Parameters outline a given environment within which to experiment and explore. It's one antidote to Blank Page Syndrome, for example.

I have to disagree entirely about personifying the automated house in There Will Come Soft Rains (fantastic name), but otherwise yes. This is exactly my understanding.

https://nebula.tv/videos/talefoundry-fiction-about-nobody/

It's also a good description of why I feel so confused by others.
People tend to feel more secure (than I do) in their identities as individuals, group members, and (neurotypical / neurodefault / neurorigid) humans.

Aha! THIS is ideal science:
CURIOSITY, clear communication,
respect (actual) corrections from anywhere,
honest effort to test and learn, and
share what you know with anyone interested.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nJjPH3TQif0&t=4373

It's not easy, but these are each necessary. I'm using 'science' here like STEM or STEAM.
So I broadly refer to a scientific method but also engineering expertise, mathematical review, and humanities' impact on supporting any of this to happen at all.

Ignoring currency hoarding by money addicts, the rest of us are here to enjoy contentment.
We can make real discoveries, inventions, and connect ideas to find useful applications.

(Also petition to call Dark Matter instead Clear Matter.)

@rozeboosje (I just assumed it was German? aaaa I am terrible at placing accents tho.) Frustrating af part is she clearly has an axe to grind with physics / academia and so do I.

It's possible I might have *more* reason to feel spurned unjustly, since mine is "systemic ableism led to late diagnosis, but I didn't get even the minimal support I was offered and accepted".

But I still stick to my vision of a better life for everyone I can help because that's... the only thing worth doing?

beep.

Semi-related: I need to do a basic layperson's guide to science set of videos. A bit like Minute Physics or CGP Grey, but about 'null hypothesis' (which I still need to learn, tbh) and 'a control group'.

Also petition to call Dark Matter instead Clear Matter.

It sounds like Sabine Hossenfelder is inaccurately diagnosing (some) real problems (and some false ones) as being scientists' fault directly.
The problems are a capitalist (profit-focused) failure of resource allocation. This includes a structure of education that incentivises "work-ready" skills over critical analysis.
You don't need to be an expert! Literally just encouraged to try, fail, learn, and try again.
THAT is 'science' -- not the scientific method (precisely) nor the institution of scientific research on a given scale of human organisation.

Glad that #NobelPrize Physics caught up with recognizing interdisciplinary discoveries! We investigated the interdisciplinarity of nobel prizes back in 2018 and found that some notable works, like Hinton&Hopfield, were missing recognition #scienceofscience

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.

"Elite" peer review was studied by Daniel Larremore and colleagues using an anonymised dataset from AAAS of 112,000 papers submitted to Science and Science Advances. A few more desk rejects for women authors, but no difference in peer review. Clear preference for work from prestigious institutions: biased or just better? Big teams also do better.

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.

Next was an interesting talk by Chinchih Chen on geographic patterns of spatial collaboration at INET Oxford. There's a lot to argue with about how the data is prepared here (they eliminate 87% of papers, the disruption index is not suited to this analysis, etc.), yielding a ridiculously high estimate for the effects of ICT on scientific collaboration, but at least this gives us a ceiling to work with https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_h6Wg1ETFVI (3/9) #ScienceOfScience #science

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.

"Let's *delve* into this topic..."

Science of AI-mediated science - Shahan Ali Memon gave a very engaging talk on how AI is being used in science, how it changes how we do and think about science, and how these AI tools are different to those we've used before.

He was too modest to advise a representative of the UK government in the audience on how much of his metascience budget should pivot to AI.
