So I have just finished my first pass at building a terrible index* for a book manuscript, using our publishers' instructions for indexing in MSWord.
*three indices, actually.
Hang on to your hats, I have thoughts.

Hello Mastodon, can anyone offer experiences in using AI tools for indexing an academic book? ChatGPT gives you some tagging assistance for a word document, but no full-scale automation. There seem to be some professional programs (not necessarily AI-based), too. Any thoughts? #followerpower #AI #book #indexing

Hello everyone. I'm cross-posting this from my other accounts. I was recently laid off from the National Security Archive (a nonprofit) where I was working as a metadata #librarian & #indexer of declassified U.S. govt. documents. I am looking for in-person work in the #Baltimore area or #remotework (preferred). I have developed skills in #cataloging, #indexing, #organization, #research and #writing. #fediverse #fedihire #fedijobs
Hello all. Yesterday evening, I was notified that I was let-go from the National Security Archive, where I was working as a metadata #librarian & #indexer of declassified U.S. govt. documents. As such, I am currently looking for in-person work in the #Baltimore area or #remotework (preferred). I have developed skills in #cataloging, #indexing, #organization, #research, & #writing. Thanks for your consideration.

#Mastodon developer shouldn't be the cataloguing via hashtags be a separate entity and not cut into the character count?
#HashtagSuggestions based on the #content are not that hard to implement and offered in a two step publishing process.
Seriously! Please, remind me not to forget #indexing posts with #hashtags and separate it from the #CharacterCount
For those who are curious about positional indices and, more generally, the technical challenges of #indexing, check out those nice slides: https://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/teaching/1718/InfoRtrv/handouts/lecture2-indexing.pdf. \5
If the Google "site:" operator shows you a URL is indexed and Google Search Console does not say it is indexed, the URL is indexed. And if you're concerned the URL may not appear in queries - just search for it.
Search engines are constantly dumping perfectly good content from their indexes. They come back, recrawl it, and re-index it.
And Search Console's data often runs behind reality.
The proof is in the query.
Library of Congress states that the U.S. periodical only ran from 1974-1976
so I have absolutely no idea (a 4th different journal?) what Scopus claims to be covering "from 1980 to 1981"
I'm genuinely impressed with how many wrong things Scopus (Elsevier) can state about a journal...
https://www.scopus.com/sourceid/28442
This page appears to amalgamate information about 3 or more different journals into one mishmash
* The U.S. periodical 'Network' est. 1974 (ISSN-L: 0093-3341)
* The British journal 'Network' est. 1990 (ISSN-L: 0954-898X)
* The Swiss journal 'Network' est. 2021, published by MDPI (ISSN-L:
2673-8732)
Universities pay for Scopus?
Does the African academy need its own citation index? by David Mills & Toluwase Asubiaro
"... journals published in the global peripheries, in small fields, or in languages other than English, struggle to get indexed. In 2023, if one excludes South Africa, only around 60 of the 30,000 plus journals indexed in Web of Science were published from Sub Saharan Africa."

Community Update
In 2023 6 third-party projects joined OWS.EU for R&D activities. Time for updates!
Today in the spotlight: Project LOREN
The project was set up to investigate a variety of legal questions re building & piloting the #OWI.
The team has compiled & analysed numerous laws + norms of relevance. Results are currently compiled into a legal opinion with actionable advice regarding #crawling, #searching, #indexing, #sharing of index and #disclosure of #data for scientific purposes.

Why #MultilingualPublishing? When English is viewed as the standard for #ScholarlyPublishing, a lot of research is missed or minimalized.
Language-inclusivity improves #metadata, #indexing & #discoverability.
