Can AI free us up to think of larger/more innovative problems?Can it help reclaim #curiosityDrivenScience #science

It's still in early days re: findings, #MoumitaKoley. ML to extract patterns from big data sets. Best oppose are in drug design/new material synthesis; Tools are exclusionary; dominated by LLMs - used most commonly for writing

#metascience2025 #metascience25

Questions #MoumitaKoley asked in her #AI study: when do you use AI/ML in research? Opportunities? Challenges to using it? Do you see #AI #machineLearning accelerating discovery? TLDR: Using AI/ML in communicating findings.

#metascience25 #metascience2025

#MoumitaKoley up next! AI/ML in India - will it be #equitable? Is #globalsouth sufficiently integrated in this work?

#moumitakoley - Indian researchers frustrated w/ publishing in Global North but still don't want to publish in Indian journals. They don't want to publish bc of low visibility/poor indexing, limited international readership, lack of quality peer review, and long #peerreview times #DOASummit2024

#moumitakoley sharing correlations btw disease burden and publication volume. Indian pubs have the LEAST correlation btw disease burden and pubs. US, China, Brazil, most major economies had a much higher correlation. India was the lowest.

#moumitakoley Global uni rankings influence the system as well -- Institutions of Eminence Scheme - based how it's calculated, strange rankings result bc institutions are gaming the scoring via publication behavior. Quality and quantity are tied. The more you publish, the "better" #DOASummit2024

#moumitakoley: university ranking system in Indian is setting research back -- no funding associated, just reputational and very critical to private institutions to attract students. Key to revenue model. Research quality based mainly on pub counts/citations. Only WOS/SCOPUS. #DOASummit2024

Barriers according to #moumitakoley:
1. Output-driven research assessments paradigm (including rankings)
2. Research priorities influenced BY publishing
3. Quality
4. Awareness

We can’t all fight alone. We have to work collectively #moumitakoley telling the story of Indian moving backwards away from #DiamondOpenAccess at #DOASummit2024
