BibliotecarIA in-the-loop: oportunidades y desafíos de la Inteligencia Artificial en instituciones GLAM

The popularity of Artificial Intelligence (AI) has been growing both within and outside the Internet, as evidenced by its selection as the word of the year in 2022 by FundéuRAE. Despite its identification as a thinking machine in the collective imagination, AI is a collection of technologies with diverse applications in various fields. In this poster, we provide an approach to AI, its constituent technologies, and their applications. We focus on its applications in the GLAM (Galleries, Libraries, Archives, and Museums) sector, with a special emphasis on its potential to enhance the work processes and services provided by professionals in these institutions. Despite the significant benefits that AI offers, its adoption may be hindered by various obstacles, including ethical dilemmas and concerns about the impact of AI on the profession. This poster addresses these barriers to adoption, along with ethical dilemmas raised by its use

Current and Evolving Models of Peer Review

New models of scientific publishing and new ways of practicing peer review have injected a recent dynamism into the scholarly communication system. In this article, we delineate the context of the traditional peer review model, reflect upon some of the first experiences with open peer review and forecast some of the challenges that new models for peer review will have to meet. Our findings suggest that the peer review function has the potential to be divorced from the journal system, so that the responsibility to judge the significance of a paper may no longer fall exclusively to formal reviewers, but may be assessed by the whole readership community

Las Plataformas de Servicios Bibliotecarios como innovación tecnológica. Características, adopción y tendencias.

In this approach, fundamentally exploratory, the diffusion of innovation theoretical framework (E. Rogers, F.M. Bass and G. Moore models) has been applied to the analysis of the level of adoption of the Library Services Platforms among academic and public libraries between the years 2010 and 2016. We have also tried to identify different behaviour patterns regarding the implementation of the Integrated Library Systems. The results suggest that, for the time frame considered here, the process of adoption of this technological innovation has been characterized by its discontinuity and by the predominance of imitative behaviours. Moreover, the adoption rates have been different depending on the type of library considered. Such differences have been also observed in the evaluation and implementation of automated library systems; therefore, resulting in what may be considered different automation profiles

Edición y comunicación científica: evolución y tendencias actuales

The development of digital technologies has brought about great transformations on the scientific communication system. The traditional stagnation that has characterized the scholarly publishing process for centuries has now given way to a more dynamic and open system, which does not remain oblivious to the current context. The transformations undergone throughout this process go beyond the digital edition. Such changes, mediated to a greater or lesser extent by the spirit of the Web 2.0 or Social Web, encompass both novel publishing models as well as original methods of peer review and new scientific impact indicators. This study provides a descriptive analysis regarding the recent evolution of the scientific communication system, focusing on the aforementioned aspects. At the same time, a statistical analysis showing the degree of adoption of social technologies by scientific journals and the prevailing tools at article level has also been carried out. The results suggest the existence of differences regarding the publisher typology, while the scientific area and the quartiles are not –a priori and in the absence of a deeper study– decisive elements

<p>The development of digital technologies has brought about great transformations on the scientific communication system.

Las transformaciones experimentadas no se limitan a la edición electrónica propiamente dicha, sino que van más allá. Dichas transformaciones, mediadas en mayor o menor medida por el espíritu de la Web 2.0 o Web Social, se han traducido en la aparición de modelos de publicación científica originales, nuevas fórmulas de peer review y novedosos indicadores que miden el impacto de la actividad científica. En este trabajo se ofrece un análisis descriptivo de la evolución reciente del sistema de publicación científica, prestando especial atención a los aspectos citados. En paralelo, se presenta un análisis estadístico que revela el grado de adopción de las tecnologías sociales en las publicaciones académicas a nivel de artículo y cuáles son los tipos de herramientas predominantes. Los resultados evidencian la existencia de diferencias en cuanto a los tipos de editor y/o distribuidor; mientras que el área científica y el cuartil de las revistas fuente no son –a priori, y a falta de un estudio más profundo– elementos determinantes.</p> <p> </p
