Congratulations! Did not happen to me yet, it's only my students who cite hallucinated work of mine.

Google should no try and detect AI automatically to protect google scholar from lunacity.

I never thought of GS in connection to AI fake, but the fun part of this is that all the fake cites will learn that way that the author is a layer.

Yes, maybe wait. But this is a real problem, since this means that reviewers should check every cited item. Or editors? Or both? I am beginning to really hate all of these silly AI users. They put extra work on us.

But we sort of have solved this problem for @langscipress by requiring that authors use reference managers.

I see that #Zotero can synchronise across devices using #Webdav. Has anyone tried that and if so, is it reliably working? And if so, could you point to an explanation of how to make it work even if I have no idea of what Webdav is?

(I need to switch from using the Zotero storage because I'm out of space (yes even on a $60/y plan) and need to sync across multiple computers + phone + Boox tablet.)

Do you use a reference manager, such as Zotero or Endnote? The Utrecht University Library would like to help you better use and manage references. That is why we would like to learn which tools you use.

You can help us by completing this survey: survey.uu.nl/jfe/form/SV_8J4cQ

survey.uu.nlEnquête Reference Managers | UBUEen korte enquête van de Universiteitsbibliotheek over reference managers, die gehouden wordt in het kader van het zoeken en vinden van literatuur. Invullen duurt 2-3 minuten.

!!! A big Zotero update!! Exciting!! 🥳
My favourite:
“Hovering over a citation or internal link now opens a popup showing the associated reference or figure. No need to jump back and forth just to check a reference.” So cool!!

We finally released #JabRef 5.15 - now with a proper blog post, and this time with correct binaries for intel macs and fixes for #snap users.

This release comes with some nice improvements for #TeXLaTeX users, as can be seen in the video.

And we added experimental support for using #bst styles as Preview.
Despite that, we also did the usual bug fixing and UI improvements

I'm still not out of the rabbit hole of searching for an #OpenSource #PersonalKnowledgeManagement software. 🐰

I'm gonna give a second try to @zettlr tomorrow! Their docs are *surprisingly* user-friendly and they claim to stick to the pure #CommonMark where probable. It's all the while being nice to researchers with citing, inline usage of #TeXLaTeX, #MermaidJS, and pop-over #footnotes. Provision of the simple #PDF export and #Pandoc customization are welcome, too!

But, to be fair, I may be overexaggerating how good #Zettlr is because of my recent disgust with #VendorLocking. In fact, almost anything that closely follows the common spec and is #FreeSoftware might suffice already. Having something as advanced and closer to the roots is certainly refreshing!

Some like Paperpile for google docs. I find all bibliography reference managers awful. The least awful ended up being plain BibTex for LaTeX documents: at least it's easy to backup, simple to update, and fairly simple scripts (even a regular expression) can parse and generate its entries, there are command line tools for merging BibTex files, and both pubmed and google scholar export to BibTex.

Agreed that a better, more integrated and aware bibliography system should be possible. The fact that it doesn't exist suggests either there isn't a business case or multiple enthusiasts tried and failed given the many corner cases and unexpected difficulties.
