@jennieg_author Happy birthday! Little Drummer Boy for me 🙂

1,135 days have passed, and Afghanistan remains the only country where a girl’s education is illegal. #LetHerLearn

Some evidence for what everyone suspected: (Some) authors don't want to share data because they don't want people to see how the sausage was made journals.plos.org/plosone/articl…

Chris Bennett, CUP, AI licensing is a moving target, tech companies also changing. Managing to get AI engines changed because CUP’re insisting on attribution. Protecting authors’ rights but also considering the supplementary revenue stream given a potential OA future #alpsp2024

Mulvany: small publishers, don’t create AI tools, others will create them, just understand the value and negotiate hard. The costs will come down eventually but if you can be an early use case then good. #alpsp2024

Mulvany poses an interesting way to increase accessibility to information with AI, asking it to discuss two opposing views from the paper in a podcast format. #alpsp2024

Ian Mulvany, BMJ, on plain language summaries and AI, it can be so difficult to interpret research data, and where patient outcomes are concerned you need to proceed cautiously. James Butcher: in biol/chem the risk is lower, and biorXiv offers these lay summaries. #alpsp2024

Emily Chenette talking about how much human oversight there is at PLoS One. But it doesn’t deter bad actors who presume sound science journals are good targets. They’re putting quality over profit, as does @IOPPublishing’s Purpose-Led Publishing coalition. #alpsp2024

Emily Chenette, PLoS One, we can have AI guidance for authors, but authors might not be reading that guidance, and there isn’t consistency between publishers either. James Butcher: AI has the power to change the essence of authorship. #ALPSP2024

John Willinsky on @pkp’s Publication Facts Label (based on the Nutrition Facts Label) & using this as a tool to communicate trustworthiness - our responsibility as publishers #alpsp2024

@georgekupar presenting VeriXiv at #ALPSP2024 which has a Publish, Review and Curate model. The Editorial team often invite the authors to publish the VoR in a partner journal, optionally.

Enjoying Sam Parker @wiley description of being reactive to research integrity misconduct, he’s using words like vulnerability and whack-a-mole… super stressful! #ALPSP2024

So good to hear Simon Holt speak so passionately about his work on accessibility for @ElsevierConnect #ALPSP2024

Emma Watkins: 67 Bricks worked with AIP Publishing running a series of discovery experiments on their author database to discover interconnectedness and find nodes of influencers. Marketing so important to test assumptions. #ALPSP2024

Dustin Smith’s one bit of advice to make better data decisions: bring the right people together, with the right expertise, and pick the right tools. Claire Webber: plan your future state. Natasha White: do your research. #alpsp2024

Natasha White speaks of an “un-Wiley” innovative personality quiz campaign for authors, giving them personalities like trailblazers. They then partnered with Charlesworth to repeat it in China. #ALPSP2024

Claire Webber talking about the digital transformation at @IOPPublishing which starts with a lot of foundational back-end work. Now we’re using data to understand our customer base to be more personalised, timely etc #ALPSP2024
