Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Amadio Arboleda addresses the idea of a globalized world in which the distribution of scholarship could theoretically unite all nations. Arboleda argues that, in fact, European and North American researchers, scholars, and publishers commonly demonstrate the ‘Gutenberg syndrome,’ in which the history of the book, the world of publishing, and scholarship in general are viewed in terms of Western principles and practices. International communication is thus dominated by Western standards and largely excludes or over-looks centuries of Eastern traditions. Until a greater effort among Western scholars and publishers is made to understand the cultural history of Asian countries and to develop truly international research practices and resources, a balanced and equal exchange of knowledge and information around the world will remain difficult.

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.

Direct model labels (unvalidated)

Per-model category and study-design labels from the labeling rounds. They are machine output, unvalidated, and the disagreement between models ships as data. No study design here is MEDLINE-validated yet.

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.
