I hope that research software projects are already adopting or will soon adopt a strong stance against integrating non-deterministic tools like generative AI / LLMs. We have been trying to progress on the issue of reproducibility for ages, and sticking genAI shortcuts into the process is a huge leap backwards by definition.

Building and maintaining open infrastructure is an active and ongoing process, and we align this work with the Principles of Open Scholarly Infrastructure (POSI) to be more intentional and transparent about how we support sustainability, community governance, and responsible stewardship. We’re proud to share an updated POSI self-assessment that reaffirms our commitment to openness: https://doi.org/10.5438/fdqk-vc49

The Confederation of Open Access Repositories (COAR) has published a statement specifying three significant challenges arising from #ArtificialIntelligence. @coar_repositories cite 1) lack of attribution, 2) #misinformation, and 3) aggresive #bots, as emerging problems to be navigated.

Shaping Research Software: An Interview with Zara Hassan

Great tools to see what might reduce reproducibility, and what the effects of reduced reproducibility might be, but offering a set of strategies we can adopt to invest into prevention rather than wasting resources in remediation.

I've just found an example of B. An R package citing its uses, although it would be even better if it would show specific reproducible examples: https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/nlraa/readme/README.html

Research has greater impact when people are involved from the beginning. ENGAGED puts that into practice every day. #LetsGoENGAGED #publicengagement #openresearch

Our university has an #PublicEngagement seed fund for our scientific staff.

Recently, nine projects were awarded funding 🥳

NB A new application round is coming up.
