Artificial Intelligence and research communication

Are chatbots really authors of scientific articles? Can they be legally responsible, make ethical decisions? What do scientific societies, journal editors and universities say? Can their results be included in original scientific articles? Based on recent contributions hereby presented, we'll be publishing posts that will try to answer these questions and any new ones that arise. … The post Artificial Intelligence and research communication first appeared on SciELO in Perspective.

GPT, machine translation, and how good they are: a comprehensive evaluation

Generative artificial intelligence models have demonstrated remarkable capabilities for natural language generation, but their performance for machine translation has not been thoroughly investigated. A comprehensive evaluation of GPT models for translation is presented, compared to state-of-the-art commercial and research systems, including NMT, tested with texts in 18 languages. … The post GPT, machine translation, and how good they are: a comprehensive evaluation first appeared on SciELO in Perspective.

Uncited articles and the dispersion of citations in the scientific literature

Questioning Bradford's law, whose interpretation in bibliometrics states that most citations are concentrated in a few journals and articles, a recent study highlights the importance of uncited articles and their influence on citation concentration. For the authors, uncited articles should be included in the analysis to provide a more comprehensive understanding of citation patterns across time, disciplines, and geographic regions. … The post Uncited articles and the dispersion of citations in the scientific literature first appeared on SciELO in Perspective.

Some remarks on peer review and preprints [Originally published as the editorial in Memórias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz vol. 118]

We may say that scientific publishing is now living under the “disruption of preprints”! Scientific editors must now think about two things: (i) a new concept of “publishing papers”, and (ii) how to proper (and innovatively) evaluate the contribution these freshly released papers might bring to society. … The post Some remarks on peer review and preprints [Originally published as the editorial in Memórias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz vol. 118] first appeared on SciELO in Perspective.

Editora Fiocruz Bio Collection: innovative themes and dynamics

Not by chance, “Tópicos em Virologia” is the first volume of the Bio collection, an innovative movement of Editora Fiocruz, welcoming the initiative of the biomedical community of Fiocruz and partners. The Bio collection is the bet of many collective layers. The proposal is to keep the content permanently updated – and online access is open. The themes aim to occupy niches hitherto lacking content in Portuguese. Milton Ozório Moraes, em>in memorian, a great enthusiast of collective initiatives and dissemination of knowledge, is one of the parents of this collection. Available in Portuguese only. … The post Editora Fiocruz Bio Collection: innovative themes and dynamics first appeared on SciELO in Perspective.

Reproduction and replication in scientific research – part 3

Reproducibility and replicability are central issues when discussing the reliability of scientific research. The attempt by a second researcher to replicate a previous study is an effort to determine whether applying the same methods to the same scientific question produces similar results. In the social sciences and humanities, however, it is not the same paradigms. … The post Reproduction and replication in scientific research – part 3 first appeared on SciELO in Perspective.

Reproduction and replication in scientific research – part 2

In this second note on the subject, we will address the guidelines proposed in 2019 by NASEM. We will analyze how replicability is understood in different scientific disciplines, mainly in the experimental sciences, based on a computational paradigm. Likewise, we will look at opinions from other disciplines related to social sciences and medicine, which do not participate in the same epistemological paradigms. … The post Reproduction and replication in scientific research – part 2 first appeared on SciELO in Perspective.

Reproduction and replication in scientific research – part 1

Replicability is a central issue when discussing the reliability of scientific research that renews itself in the promotion of open science. A second researcher's attempt to replicate an earlier study is an effort to determine whether applying the same methods to the same scientific question yields similar results. … The post Reproduction and replication in scientific research – part 1 first appeared on SciELO in Perspective.
