"Across all 6,510 evaluations, ChatGPT never once mentioned that an article had been retracted, corrected, or had any ethical issues. It did not seem to connect the retraction notice, often present in the article’s title or on the publisher’s page, with the content it was asked to assess."

Just met with a Doctoral Researcher, discussing searching in Business Source Premier. There’re so many things I used to do in EBSCO databases that are now more complex in the new platform. I’ve written about lots here, but will be adding to my list of areas in need of improvement (mentally anyway).
EBSCO changes: adjusting and preparing

Are our ecological conclusions built on shaky foundations?
Our latest paper in @methodsinecoevol.bsky.social highlights that Risk of Bias (RoB) assessment, crucial for ensuring the internal validity of research, is almost never used in #systematicreviews in eco & evo 📉

Looks like by the end of this academic year (on Thursday) I will have done 150 appointments. Mostly 1to1, some small groups.
Majority of those will be systematic review support with a sprinkling of literature searching, bibliographic software, OA etc.
