Springer Nature retracts, removes nearly 40 publications
The dataset contains images of children’s faces downloaded from websites about autism, which sparked concerns at Springer Nature about consent and reliability.

If I had ONE tip for librarians testing "Ai search" products is focus on relevancy. If you had time for just one query , test with a "tricky query". There is no one defintion of tricky, but a query that can easily return dozens/hundreds of relevant articles is definitely pointless to test! (1)

And I often find people who feel the need to harp on this , dont actually understand the tech as well as they think. Cos half the webinar was showing use of LLM/GPT to screen for relevant papers aka "tech that generate content" IS used for evidence retrieval. Such a dumb comment. (3)

General deep research are also slower cos many open a virtual browser and query it like a human. The other disadvantage using things like openai/Gemini DR is you know it isn't customized for academic in the way it does citations & it seems to create more "ghost references" for some reason (3)

The main advantage has always been these specialised academic ai tools directly searched academic content while general deep research searches the web and needs to be prompted and be smart enough to know where to search and to prefer to cite. (2)
