Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

SummaryScholarly publishing is undergoing a profound transition from the traditional print media to the electronic media. This transition is almost complete from the readers's viewpoint. Authors, reviewers and librarians have yet to reap the expected benefits of increased efficiency and reduced costs. This article examines the possible consequences of this change, surveys recent developments and proposes an efficient organisation for future scholarly publishing. The new role of authors, reviewers, librarians and readers in this proposed organisation is discussed.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
