LJMU Open Journals Service have just published their first Zine! It has come out of a monthly #Ethnography club meeting, and describes itself as a guerrilla-style Zine, 'publishing the unpublishable': openjournals.ljmu.ac.uk/EiD @ljmuresearch.bsky.social #OpenAccess #Publishing #Zines #Journals

Ethnography is Dead

The zine explores ethnographic and qualitative research as creative, critical, and reflexive practices.

We have recently clarified our penalties for this. If a submission contains incontrovertible evidence that the authors did not check the results of LLM generation, this means we can't trust anything in the paper. 3/

The penalty is a 1-year ban from arXiv followed by the requirement that subsequent arXiv submissions must first be accepted at a reputable peer-reviewed venue. 4/

Examples of incontrovertible evidence: hallucinated references, meta-comments from the LLM ("here is a 200 word summary; would you like me to make any changes?"; "the data in this table is illustrative, fill it in with the real numbers from your experiments") end/"
