This was the day Apoorva Shah and I discovered we could literally talk for hours about discovery, researchers, and AI. Probably good they edited to just a few highlights!

NEW: Over the past two years, my JSTOR colleagues and I have been partnering with librarians & archivists to co-create a "collections processing tool"—a new kind of service that empowers practitioners to expand discovery & impact of distinctive collections at scale. about.jstor.org/blog/what-is...

Roger Schonfeld introduces the concept of a collections processing tool—a new, community-driven system that reimagines how special collections are described and discovered. With JSTOR Seeklight, this ...

What's your favorite AI hack?

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

100% agree with you that "am not sure a license change is the technical solution to this social problem."

I think is true in software. But, with text, one can't prevent fascists fr reading, citing, quoting, etc. You could not give them add'l permissions - but, none the of the CC licenses are fit for that purpose. Returning to custom permissions statements for text would in effect re-enclose scholarship.

In the realm of text (in the US), it may not be licensing, though, since training AI has been found to be a transformative use. That's a copyright limitation/exception, not a license-based permission. I see too much focus on CC license blaming these days...

Unfortunately, while GetFTR has great uptake with publishers, there's still effort to be made with aggregators (e.g., Muse).

I thought it was doing better than your experience. Sorry to hear...

I highly recommend installing the GetFTR extension if you haven't ashtray. It's not prefect but works much of the time.

Yes, and it is very hard to smooth those paths. SeamlessAccess and GetFTR have helped a lot. But, at this point, many folks have already formed opinions of how hard it is. And, in reality, it is hard.

And, if the original poster didn't inclulde the DOI, it's even more work. With the DOI and the GetFTR browser extension, you get about the same level of effort. But, you need the DOI and the extension.

As a librarian, I can assure you with a high level of confidence that many of those people do have access. It's way less work to ask for the PDF than navigate through authentication, interfaces, etc. Same thing re high levels of SciHub in zip codes in US that are clearly research university towns.

That too

I can see how that wasn't clear!

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

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

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...
Can a CC License Constrain Fair Use or Other Copyright Limitations or Exemptions? - The Scholarly Kitchen
Creative Commons (CC) licenses expand, not restrict, the permissible uses of copyrighted works.

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!

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?

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

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.

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".

Definitely appreciate this about Springer Nature!

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

Before...
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.
