Scholarly communication is amid a reconfiguration that, from a conservative perspective, should be as paradigm-shifting as the creation of the first scientific journal Philosophical Transactions, in 1665. From a more disruptive perspective, this transformation will reshape the entire scientific culture, redefining the autonomy of researchers and institutions in producing and validating knowledge. Sustaining research integrity and rigor in projects and publications calls for strategies extending beyond transparency policies for researchers using Generative Artificial Intelligence. … The post Research Integrity and Human Agency in Research Intertwined with Generative AI first appeared on SciELO in Perspective.

Proposal of a model for the discursive analysis of interactions with AI chatbots in the light of Bakhtinian concepts in which a controlled polyphony is observed, where all voices are reconciled in a “simulated dialog” that can impoverish critical thinking. We advocate the urgency of AI literacy development considering its ideological, political, and educational implications. … The post AI chatbots and the simulation of dialog: what does Bakhtinian theory have to say? first appeared on SciELO in Perspective.

Study shows how global scientific evaluation criteria put urban journals from the Global South at a disavantage, reinforcing epistemic inequality in the production and circulation of knowledge. As an alternative, databases such as SciELO and Redalyc have proven to be auspicious in increasing the visibility and recognition of local scientific production. … The post International Metrics Make Latin American Urban Journals Invisible first appeared on SciELO in Perspective.

The current American government is curtailing science in several ways. Certain terms are censored in scientific reports and publications, communications and collaborations between scientists are limited or even proscribed, and funding is withdrawn. The implications for scientific research in the US are vast, but the long arm of the American government has undesired effects on the global science community as well, particularly on the numerous ways scientists elsewhere collaborate with their American colleagues. The preeminence of American science seems truly being shattered. … The post Global Science in Danger first appeared on SciELO in Perspective.

Brazilian researchers have launched a guide to the ethical and responsible use of generative AI in research integrating normative principles and practical examples to promote transparency, human authorship, and protection of unpublished or sensitive data, as well as care for academic integrity and bias in different uses in academic research. … The post Brazilian researchers launch Guidelines for the ethical and responsible use of Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) first appeared on SciELO in Perspective.

Although valuable, the Open Science movement is still extremely new in the Administration journals indexed in SciELO. Effective and successful practices, such as the use of badges for studies with greater transparency, for example, are used by only one journal. … The post Open Science is still an incipient topic in Business Administration journals first appeared on SciELO in Perspective.

Generative AI is having a transformative effect on academic work, but it is also reshaping the professional services and research management sectors that support it. Here Anna Aston discusses where AI can be useful for research management and the tools research managers can use in different areas of their work. … The post Where to start with AI in research management [Originally published in the LSE Impact blog in December/2024] first appeared on SciELO in Perspective.

The SciELO Accessibility Interdisciplinary Working Group has been developing actions for the production and dissemination of open science with accessibility, making improvements to the sites that use the SciELO methodology, awareness-raising activities and partnerships with publishing teams. These and other practices are planned for the next four years. … The post Accessibility in the SciELO Program: current status and future prospects – Part 2 first appeared on SciELO in Perspective.
