Hello #fediverse! Thanks to my new DFF grant, I'm now looking to hire a PhD student to join me at AAU in Aalborg 🇩🇰 to work on "usable decentralization", i.e. on making distributed and federated cloud services accessible to the everyday user. For more details, see link below, and please don't hesitate to DM me with questions!

In the latest development version, JabRef now supports multiple citation fetchers/providers, including SemanticScholar, @crossref @opencitations and @OpenAlex

And at the bottom we provide some additional metrics from scite.ai

Grab the version here: https://builds.jabref.org/main/

PS: This version now uses also JavaFX 25.02 and JDK 25.02.

I built my wife a tool to survive her PhD and thought other researchers might want it too. Zotero's essential for citations, but she was struggling to know what to read next versus what she'd already read.

Paperstack is basically Goodreads for academic papers. Import from Zotero, sort by stack and tag, achieve calm.

If I could go back in time with this manuscript, I would have either designed the workflow to process the ~6000 possibly useful datasets in batches of 100 or so, or done the filtering to the actual useful ~700 of ~6000 in one part of the workflow, and then the analysis of the useful ones in another part of the workflow.

I didn't imagine that there would be fifteen odd processing and analysis steps on the ~6000 files -> ~91,000 targets in the workflow. 🤦‍♂️

I’ve been “cited” in Google Scholar as author of a hallucinated article. The surname, year, and one word of the title match work I have actually done. But the title and the DOI are completely fake. #Academia #AI

Emails that get sent with high priority flags in #academia :
- the dishwasher is now working again
- there is cake in the kitchen fridge
Emails that get sent without high priority flags in #academia :
- if you don't reply to this email by the end of the day, your colleague will lose their job

I once told someone once that I hardly read high priority emails because they are always among the least important emails I get, and they were genuinely shocked.

Are there any good #FOSS alternatives to #Mozilla #Thunderbird with #NoAI ? When I was at the University of Denver I installed Thunderbird once so I could have a local copy of my work emails (through Microsoft), then I deleted it. I've now tried the same trick at CU Boulder (also Microsoft) and been told I need to request access to use Thunderbird. This still might work to back up my emails, but lately I've been thinking it would be nice to have an application instead of using a web client so I get local backups automatically and have a clearner interface. Is there anything good in this space that hasn't been subject to #enshittification ?
