First conference in my PhD life was @stienid2025.bsky.social ! With my supervisors, @willemhalffman.bsky.social and Serge, we looked at the behaviour of journal peer reviewers under the practice of open science. #STIENID2025

@chinghank.bsky.social, @willemhalffman.bsky.social and Serge Horbach at #STIENID2025 in Bristol. They presented work on the DISAPEER project, perspectives on the research literature as infrastructure, and the tensions between standardisation and disciplinary diversity in research policy.

Four books on a table: The Extinction of Irena Rey by Jennifer Croft, The Liar's Dictionary by Eley Williams, Toward Eternity by Anton Hur, and the Nethergole Martyr by Good Friends for a Lifetime

Successful #StiEnid2025 conference, successful book haul 📚

In these minutes at #STIENID2025 there is a session on "Transitioning to open research information - the why, what and how for the STI community" with colleagues from the @BarcelonaDORI ( @MsPhelps @LudoWaltman) and Anne-Catherine Fritzinger from the […]

Cathrine Egeland & colleagues on the securitisation of research organisations, how security authorities are a new player in public science, and how employee's rights, anti-discrimination, transparency, and power relations are affected in academia. Incredibly relevant topic. #STIEnid2025

This is how #STIENID2025 dances! Infectious!!

The panel was fun, the audience seemed to like it and I got to say some controversial things about peer review as the last word 😂

Day 2 of #StiEnid2025 - from the In-Forest colleagues presented by Shizuku Sunagawa, an excellent paper that seeks to address the persistent disconnect between quanti & quali research with a mixed-method study examining inequalities in scientific publishing on forest governance research

This is all Prof Mike Thelwall from @sheffielduni.bsky.social - really great talk. I'll be looking up his work.
#STIENID2025

Really enjoying this case study about Mauritius - I often talk about how our current scholarly communications landscape doesn't support vital local research. This is a great example showing that.
#STIENID2025

ChatGPT can be used to prioritise research that helps Mauritius. Just looked at societal impact.

Value to Mauritius doesn't correlate at all with quality of research though - so politicians have to decide what they're interested in.

High value articles seem plausible.
#STIENID2025

Case study now about trying to assess research in Mauritius. Not enough experts in any one field to be able to assess properly using peer review.

So 2 options: citation analysis vs ChatGPT.

Citations show competition on world stage, but very bad for locally focused research.
#STIENID2025

Not good enough for individual judgement. Don't use for peer review!

You can use it alongside your own judgement for large assessment exercises.

#STIENID2025

Can LLMs identify a fake article about squirrels doing surgery and writing articles about it?

Not most of them, although GPT o3 says its satirical. Most still assesses it as if it's a real article.

Gemini gave it 3* and said it had also been studied in Maths.
#STIENID2025

Now moving on to talk about when LLMs are hopeless at research evaluation 😂

Sometimes uses the wrong scoring system! Sometimes switches language in the middle! Weird comments!

Particularly problems using small models. But correlations are still better than random. #STIENID2025

Keynote talk this morning about LLMs and citation impact indicators. Going to try very hard to keep an open mind 😂

#STIENID2025

The keynote this morning is sponsored by Clarivate.

Slightly awkward being on a panel later talking about how indexes (particularly WoS) can be problematic and might have too much power 🙊

#STIENID2025

Having a wonderful time at #STIENID2025! Thank you to everyone that came to see my poster, I got some great feedback! I can’t wait to see what today and tomorrow bring!

PD: Bristol is amazing😳

We are sorry to say that this morning’s wellness run for #STIENID2025 will be cancelled.

The rain cannot dampen our spirits but a 70-80% chance of rain will keep us indoors this morning.

Fingers crossed for tomorrow morning!

Beautiful location for tonight’s drink reception #stienid2025

@coarassessment.bsky.social representatives with bibliometric experts int eh function and future of metrics for research assessment and practice.

Fascinating conversations! #stienid2025

Love being at an institution like the @crick.ac.uk - I'm in a talk about how incidence of data availability statements is low, and good ones is even lower.

In biomedicine, they work, they make sense, people get it. We're sitting at 73.3% good DAS for 2025 (increasing all the time).
#STIENID2025

At a session on Research mobility now. Looking at PhD careers and movement to start with. #STIENID2025

Interesting point from @crsugimoto.bsky.social about how often with a book you get a few reviews at proposal and then you work with an editor who really doesn't know anything about your field.

There's no dialogue in the process. That's very familiar to me.
#STIENID2025

Saw @crsugimoto.bsky.social talk at Metascience and now at #STIENID2025 - bought one of her books for our library last time...might end up buying more now!

Particularly interested in "Theories of
Informetrics and Scholarly Communication", I'm rubbish at theory. Maybe this is a good way to learn?

First paper is form the #MetricsLiteracy project. They tested the use of videos to educate on the h-index. You can see one here:

#StiEnid2025

I've ended up in a theory heavy session at #STIENID2025 - I have no formal background in sociology and I'm already feeling lost!

I always end up in the wrong session in a multitasking event...

Possibility and the Temporal Imagination

Fantastic keynote at #StiEnid2025 by Keri Facer about imagining our futures and different temporalities. A question was: if the university was to collapse now, what would you save? I'd save the networks of ppl across universities that have helped me.

We're all set up at the #STIENID2025 conference. Come and see our poster and grab a copy of our annual report and a dinky UKRN sticker #ukrepro
