I share three personal "AI hacks" in today's Scholarly Kitchen Ask-the-Chefs.

Ask the Chefs: What’s Your Favorite AI Hack? - The Scholarly Kitchen

We talk a lot about AI in scholarly communications and publishing, but today, we ask the Chefs: What’s your favorite AI hack?

That too

Lisa Janicke Hinchliffe @lisalibrarian.bsky.social · 11h

I can see how that wasn't clear!

Lisa Janicke Hinchliffe @lisalibrarian.bsky.social · 12h

Too many ppl these days thinking (hoping?) a CC license overrides fair use.

Lisa Janicke Hinchliffe @lisalibrarian.bsky.social · 12h

As long as you realize that a license can't constrain what copyright allows.

Lisa Janicke Hinchliffe @lisalibrarian.bsky.social · 13h

The only way to prevent the use of your research is not to share it. Don't talk about it, present on it, or publish it.

Where do we draw the line re: #openscience and research being used in ways we don't want via LLMs or elsewhere (like corporate entities monetizing your findings)? #EricYttri takes a more "nihilist" OS is still better for science and if it gets "eaten" by bad actors, it is what it is. #CMUOSS25

And another talk where this is relevant and being confused. As a reminder, if it's legal under copyright, it's not the CC license/open that makes it ok for AI to train on your work ... scholarlykitchen.sspnet.org/2025/11/03/c...

Also, not a new problem/question. CC BY on articles has relieved many corporations of subscription costs and allowed them to opt out of supporting the publishing ecosystem.

Gen AI consumes #openscience as raw fuel - how do we avoid losing that value to private, closed, corporate benefit only? It's a catch 22. #CMUOpenScience Mohammad Hosseini speaking on #openscience in #GenAI. Really dilemmas we have to address head on.

I don't know why Bluesky is labeling an out-of-copyright classical engraving as adult content, but I promise you this is on bibliometrics!

I'm so pleased to share this SK piece I did with Heather Parkin, a master's student in the @ischoolui.bsky.social. In light of DORA and other attempts to reform bibliometrics, this piece examines how publishers platform journal and article metrics.

Impact Metrics on Publisher Platforms: Who Shows What Where? - The Scholarly Kitchen

A review of 12 major publishers finds that they display an average of 6 journal-level impact metrics on their platforms. The Journal Impact Factor is the only metric displayed on all 12.

With a number of libraries canceling transformative agreements, will support for publishing OA become part of the recruitment pitch for a campus? Similar to how the size of collections have been for decades?

Lisa Janicke Hinchliffe @lisalibrarian.bsky.social · 2d

Also, Heather is graduating in May, and you should hire her!

Sometimes I wish people in educational spaces were required to understand & spot basic tactics of how vendors / tech outfits operate, like "embrace, extend, extinguish".

So many people with what's analogous to "map literacy" (at advanced literacy levels!), yet so few with analogous "street smarts".

Lisa Janicke Hinchliffe @lisalibrarian.bsky.social · 4d

Definitely appreciate this about Springer Nature!

Lisa Janicke Hinchliffe @lisalibrarian.bsky.social · 5d

Entirely, no. But, past where it can be stopped?

This isn't really a judgment on Openrxiv, which just reflects the reality of sustaining non-profit infrastructure right now, but it probably shows the need for institutions to get involved in funding the preprint landscape before it's all commercialised rather than community governed.

Great post this week from @lisalibrarian.bsky.social that hopes to clear up some of the confusions around Creative Commons licenses and the use of such content for AI training. This speaks to the ongoing failure of the publishing and OA communities to make clear just what these licenses mean

Very first panel of #chsconf25, and a speaker repeats the claim that my piece in SK yesterday was written to explain isn't true. Please read!

Unfortunately, it also tracks that ppl haven't noticed widely that those same publishers own a lot of the preprint servers?

New from me today. TL;DR.. No! But, read the piece to learn why!

Just realized that last night marked daylight savings so I feel better about how late I was awake lol.

In any case, this move slightly weakens the pro-preprint case for journals not adding value and (in the case of review & position papers) strengthens the case for Article Development Charges.

Lisa Janicke Hinchliffe @lisalibrarian.bsky.social · 11d

There is real irony that one is not allowed to preprint until after acceptance ... kinda undercuts the claimed value set of preprint benefits. Yes, early/public access. But the whole thing about improving work before its submitted/accepted is out the window.

Lisa Janicke Hinchliffe @lisalibrarian.bsky.social · 11d

I'm sympathetic but ...
