AI-driven zero-click search is widening the gap between visibility and usage, threatening publisher revenue, research integrity, and trust. How should we respond?
Nearly three years after ChatGPT’s debut, generative AI continues to reshape scholarly publishing. The sector has moved from experimentation toward integration, with advances in ethical writing tools, AI-driven discovery, summarization, and automated peer review. While workflows are becoming more efficient, the long-term impact on research creation and evaluation remains uncertain.
NISO’s Open Discovery Initiative (ODI) survey reflects the positive and negative expectations of generative AI in web-scale discovery tools.
AI-enabled discovery and summarization tools seem like magic to end users, but for publishers it looks like disintermediation.
AI-assisted search is here, and librarians need to have an honest discussion about how to integrate this new technology into library services. This post explores the parallels to the introduction of discovery layers and how to overcome some of the discomfort librarians might have with retrieval-augmented generation.
How is generative AI moving us towards conversational discovery and what does this mean for publishing and future trends in information discovery?
When do we stop making the effort to find new music?
In this post – the first of two discussing artificial intelligence and information discovery – we explore the evolution of information discovery, its role in the research journey, and how it can be applied to help researchers and publishers alike.
Today, Roger Schonfeld argues that there are scholarly communication priorities that merit focus beyond price, value, and openness and which require cross-sector collaboration.
AI might help with the deluge of content, but there are problems when we rely on machines to think for us.
Julie Zhu reflects on the IEEE’s journey with the Open Discovery Initiative (ODI) and the benefits of ODI conformance statements.
A report from the 9th annual BioASQ workshop discussing the ongoing development and future of AI-based tools.
Does today’s news of Wiley etc. syndicating to ScienceDirect mean Elsevier is developing a supercontinent to compete with ResearchGate and Google Scholar?
Scholarly publishers have long thought in categories such as journals, monographs, textbooks, and reference. Reference as a category is splitting in two.
Along with recent hair-pulling about fake news has come renewed awareness of the concept of “filter bubbles,” as many of us acknowledge the risk of political information “bubbles” following the US presidential election. Where we once bemoaned “filter failure” – […]
