If only there were a way for AI to check if a citation was hallucinated. Or to vet the provenance of a putative scholarly publication. If only there were some sort of infrastructure to support this: asimovaddendum.substack.com/p/the-collab...

There is a lot of hope that AI will advance the progress of science, but unfortunately, the collision between AI and scientific publishing has not gone well.

I realise that saying "Atkinson was the author of HyperCard" is probably like saying "Torvalds is the author of Subsurface." But HyperCard changed the way I think, and I still miss it. #HyperCard

Also, excellent news! Knowledge Commons commits to the Principles of Open Scholarly Infrastructure (POSI). about.hcommons.org/2025/05/06/s... Our first audit is here: about.hcommons.org/about-us/pos...

Crossref updates its POSI self-assessment after 1,005 days. Crossref has made significant progress. This is great. I am still concerned that it contains omissions & transparency issues. It also doesn’t address several important, unresolved questions. gbilder.com/posts/2024-1...

As of today (2024-12-02), it has been 1000 days since Crossref updated its POSI self-assessment. It's not the worst of the "POSI Posse" in this respect. But it may be the most worrying. gbilder.com/posts/2024-1...

Martin co-founded both @janewayolh.bsky.social and @openlibhums.bsky.social, and he’s one of the smartest and most talented people I know. We used to work together at OLH, and I owe him so much. He’s now looking for a job, and anyone would be lucky to have him on their team

FTR- CR Labs also led the initial conceptualisation & development of CR's strategic initiatives- including ORCID, Open Funder Registry, Crossref API, ROR, Event Data, Grant IDs, and the opening of RetractionWatch data. Many of these involved applied "data science" but they were not "Data Science."

Did I mention that I'm looking for a new role? If anyone is interested in award-winning work on digital preservation, digital textuality, fixing scholcomms systems and their economics, or even just plain old literary criticism, please get in touch.

And it seems CR is more concerned about who is responsible for a solecism in the article rather than that they neglected to tell Nature that they had laid-off the person (and got rid of the group) responsible for the study cited and shelved the project because they didn't deem it "strategic."

For followers on Bluesky who might be confused- I should note that I do not work at Crossref anymore. I haven’t for some time.

Nature on The crisis in preservation cites the work @eve.gd did at Crossref Labs. www.nature.com/articles/d41... Great timing considering that Crossref apparently just shut down Crossref Labs- the group that did this study and was working on a project to address it. Funny they don't mention that.

Digital preservation is not keeping up with the growth of scholarly knowledge. Recognizing its causes is the first step to securing records everywhere for future generations.
