    GenAI in Academic Libraries: Exploring AI-Driven Scholarship and Clarivate’s Web of Science Research Assistant

    In this episode, Francesca Buckland, Vice President of Product Management for the Web of Science at Clarivate, joins The Authority File to discuss artificial intelligence applications in academic libraries. To start, Fran details Clarivate’s history with developing AI products, including seeking guidance from the library community. Further, she chats about generative AI enhancing research efficiencies and underpinning critical thinking, particularly through Clarivate’s recently launched Web of Science Research Assistant. As Fran explains, the tool offers scholarly overviews, visualizations, and guided research workflows, all based in the Web of Science Core Collection. Digging into the needed balance between automation and human oversight, our guest also covers key topics like AI transparency, ethical design, and data security. Next, Fran highlights Clarivate’s recent Pulse of the Library report. Revealing librarians’ progress toward establishing institutional AI plans, the report dovetails with Clarivate’s interest in utilizing AI for core librarian tasks and to support the library mission. Finally, as industry standards and guidelines on AI continue to enter the scholarly landscape, Fran anticipates better guardrails around ethical AI use and transparency, in addition to more advanced AI analytics tools to assess large data sets.

    Data Sharing in the Humanities and Social Sciences: Current Landscape and Pressures

    In this four-part series, Dr. Rebecca Taylor-Grant, Head of Open Data Initiatives, and Dr. Emily Farrell, Global Commercial Director for Open Research, both at Taylor & Francis, join the program to discuss data sharing in the Humanities and Social Sciences (HSS). While STEM fields have largely established official channels for sharing and accessing research data, HSS disciplines still lag behind. Particular issues arise in identifying what qualifies as data in these fields and the purpose of making this information accessible to fellow scholars. Covering current data sharing policies and data categorization variations between the Humanities and Social Sciences, our guests investigate why HSS data sharing is important and how librarians can support this work through guidance and institutional services. In this first episode, Emily and Rebecca examine the current landscape for HSS data sharing. They explain what can be categorized as data in HSS, how the social sciences have a slight leg up in this area, and how T&F has developed explicit guidance to help researchers recognize potential data sets. Our guests also share thoughts on how the 2022 OSTP Nelson Memo has impacted data sharing and speculate on how the incoming Trump administration may affect these policies in the US.
