J'ai soumis à un journal il y a 12 jours, IF > 10, éditeur réputé, retours rapides vantés sur le site.

On n'a même pas encore été assignés à l'admin qui nous assignera à un éditeur qui décidera de l'envoi en review.

A quel moment on décide d'arrêter de leur filer notre argent public #VeilleESR

We're thrilled to announce the Ctrl-Z Award, a US$2,500 prize for researchers “who discover substantial errors in their published work and take meaningful steps to correct the scientific record."

Keep calm and be transparent: advice from scientists who retracted their papers
Retractions correct the scientific record, but they have stigma attached to them. Some in the research community want that to change.

AI-generated artwork is officially not eligible for copyright protection after the U.S. Supreme Court declined to review the appeal.

The court ruled that a work must have a human creator in order to qualify for copyright.

J'aime bien le ramadan parce que je peux aller à la petite pâtisserie du quartier et acheter des gâteaux à la dame et les gâteaux sont bons et lui souhaiter joyeuse fête et rentrer chez moi et manger mes gâteaux plus tard en pensant aux autres gens qui mangent leurs petits gâteaux de fête plus tard

Apart from the difference in art (the kids stuff radiates joy a life and the ai stuff is just dead on arrival) the kids experience something while doing it. That experience is communicated in the art too. Art isn’t just the end result.
The kids actually made animals that don't exist. The AI just put a bunch of stuff that already exists together into a polished slop blender. You can't get a better illustration of why AI can't create anything new while human creativity is bottomless.

When should a paper be corrected?

Last December, @elisabethbik.bsky.social and other sleuths began flagging papers by a prominent bioengineer, Ali Khademhosseini. They found over 80 with image issues.

Khademhosseini and his colleagues have issued over 40 corrections, but avoided retractions.
Science sleuths raise concerns about scores of bioengineering papers
Prominent bioengineer Ali Khademhosseini has so far corrected more than 40 of the papers in question, but critics say some should have been retracted.

Ce matin, je vous parle d'IA générative et des personnes étrangères

2 prémisses
1. L'IA générative a un énorme avantage : elle comprend toutes les langues, répond ds ttes les langues et passe d'une langue à une autre en 1 seconde
2. Toutes les associations de France voient leur budget s'effondrer
