From the American Society for Indexing: Thinking that surely #book #indexing is something #AI could do? … ASI has published its statement on indexing using #LLM-based AI tools — these tools simply don't do a good job. For a quality index, use a #human #indexer. https://asindexing.org/ai-news/statement-on-ai-and-book-indexing/

Very good book morning. Firstly I had a meeting with the author of the book I was doing an index for, and we signed off the project and I got paid.
And then the first copy of Epson Moore arrived in the post. And it's perfect!
OpenSearch 3.2 is here!
The latest release brings powerful enhancements to search, observability, and generative AI workloads.
Highlights include:
Expanded GPU support
Major improvements to the approximation framework
GA of Protobuf in OpenSearch
These updates extend the 3.x innovations, helping you scale workloads with more efficient indexing and query capabilities.

#OpenAI recently #ended an #experiment where shared #ChatGPT #conversations were #indexed by #searchengines. While ChatGPT does not make conversations public by default, users may not anticipate that #sharedlinks will be indexed, potentially revealing #personalinformation. This practice mirrors #Google’s #indexing of #shared #GoogleDrive files. https://techcrunch.com/2025/07/31/your-public-chatgpt-queries-are-getting-indexed-by-google-and-other-search-engines/?eicker.news #tech #media #news

Quick update on my TextIndex project. Recently added:
• Inbound cross-references
• Run-in style option for deepest level (>2)
• Letter-headings option for indexes
• Wildcards can now also be used in sort-keys and cross-refs
Repo and docs updated. Considering this to be functionally complete now, though requests and issues always welcome!

New Research Alert: Scholarly publishing’s hidden diversity: How exclusive databases sustain the oligopoly of academic publishers

journals.plos.orgScholarly publishing’s hidden diversity: How exclusive databases sustain the oligopoly of academic publishersGlobal scholarly publishing has been dominated by a small number of publishers for several decades. This paper revisits the data on corporate control of scholarly publishing by analyzing the relative shares of scholarly journals and articles published by the major publishers and the “long tail” of smaller, independent publishers, using Dimensions and Web of Science (WoS). The reduction of expenses for printing and distribution and the availability of open-source journal management tools may have contributed to the emergence of small publishers, while recently developed inclusive databases may allow for the study of these. Dimensions’ inclusive indexing revealed the number of scholarly journals and articles published by smaller publishers has been growing rapidly, especially since the onset of large-scale online publishing around 2000, resulting in a higher share of articles from smaller publishers. In parallel, WoS shows increasing concentration within a few corporate publishers. For the 1980–2021 period, we retrieved 32% more articles from Dimensions compared to the more selective WoS. Dimensions’ data showed the expansion of small publishers was most pronounced in the Social Sciences and the Arts and Humanities, but a similar trend is observed in the Natural Sciences and Engineering, and the Health Sciences. A major geographical divergence is also revealed, with English-speaking countries and/or those located in northwestern Europe relying heavily on major publishers for the dissemination of their research, while the rest of the world being relatively independent of the oligopoly. Finally, independent journals publish more often in open access in general, and in Diamond open access in particular. We conclude that enhanced indexing and visibility of recently created, independent journals may favour their growth and stimulate global scholarly bibliodiversity.
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

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.
