If you, a systems, erm or ux #librarian, hate the way the AI/LLM Reading Assistant in #ScienceDirect does a dark pattern & pops up to cover the actual damn thing you are trying to read, you can email #Elsevier support & ask them to disable it for your institution. It may take a while, but given that they did it for me, they’ll probably do it for you. #LibraryLife #libraries

Abstract

The rapid evolution of Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) is reshaping higher education (HE), offering transformative opportunities for academic engagement while posing significant challenges to academic integrity, ethical frameworks, and global research power dynamics. This study maps the recent (2022-2025) research landscape of GenAI in HE through a bibliometric analysis of 2762 articles from the Web of Science Core Collection. Employing multipolarity as an analytical lens, this study examines the power dynamics within this research domain reflected by publication records from different countries (or regions). Findings highlight surging global interest in GenAI in HE, with contributions led by the US, China, and the UK, alongside rising participation from non-Western scholars and institutions. By identifying the major topics, this study uncovers a more nuanced trajectory of GenAI-related discourse in HE. By examining publication status, contributors, and research topics, this study provides insights for stakeholders navigating the complexities of GenAI integration into HE and suggests trajectories for future research in this rapidly evolving field.

And my #colleague @WordsByWesInk has alerted me to this that you'll want to read too: an article from Iris van Rooij on the mess #ScienceDirect is making by adding links from terms in published articles going to #inaccurate #LLM-generated definitions. https://irisvanrooijcogsci.com/2025/08/12/ai-slop-and-the-destruction-of-knowledge/

"AI Summaries" have infested #ScienceDirect now with their inaccurate but confidently-formulated statements... Fortunately some people are fighting back, like @Iris who emailed them about it:

AI slop and the destruction of knowledge

We should all do the same until they remove these "summaries"!

ScienceDirect wants to solve world poverty 😇 by cutting resource use by 70%—because who needs "decent" living standards anyway? 🤔 Meanwhile, their website can't even provide content without a 404 error. 🚫

If you're using a #QT #Webengine based browser like me (@qutebrowser or #Falkon), #Elsevier 's #ScienceDirect website may cause issues because they "only support the last 3 releases" of most browsers. Luckily, they use the user agent to detect the browser. So, a workaround is to use something like this, with a new enough version for the #Chrome version:

Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) QtWebEngine/6.8.2 Chrome/132.0.0.0 Safari/537.36

#AcademicChatter

Fuck you, #sciencedirect! You know what you did.

#science #publishing #sciencepublishing #wasteoftime #paywalls suck, even when you pay!

Update. When the #UBuffalo cancelled its #Elsevier #BigDeal, "faculty were supportive…There was frustration expressed with the current structure of the publishing industry, particularly with the exorbitant pricing of journal subscriptions…Data showed a decrease in usage on the #ScienceDirect platform and [an affordable] increase in requests for unavailable articles" through other channels described in the article.

It is not acceptable that #sciencedirect tells me that my #browser was #outofdate. I didn't ask them to check my browser. They have nothing else to do to than to deliver the pages which I requested. To check browser versions is in gereral not the task af a random #website. This unprofessional behaviour deteriorates the internet.
