ChatGPT and GPT-4 for Higher Education: A German Guide for Students and Lecturers

Earlier this week, a 47-page whitepaper was released addressing ChatGPT for Higher Education. It was prepared by 12 German co-authors from 6 German institutions and contains several recommendations for students and teachers. In my opinion, the summary table regarding assessments, which is presented at the beginning of page 32 is especially important. https://www.uni-hohenheim.de/uploads/media/23-03-20_Whitepaper_ChatGPT.pdf

Naive German researchers driven by a passion for high-impact journals

Still following my previous post from March 2021 entitled  "The highly profitable disgusting business of scientific journals has finally begun to crumble with a little help by the European Commission"  it is disappointing, to see a paper published in the Journal of Informetrics a few days ago by two German researchers (Haunschild & Bornmann) proposing a bibliometric approach for identifying potentially talented young researchers which incomprehensibly (and out of time) uses an indicator based on the number of papers published in high-impact journals  https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1751157723000196

For sure the aforementioned journal authors do not care about the advice of Vladen Koltun (Distinguished Scientist at Apple, prior Chief scientist at Intel, and prior to that was Professor at Stanford University https://pacheco-torgal.blogspot.com/2021/11/evaluating-researchers-in-fast-and.html who wrote that the quality of journals should never be used in the evaluation of researchers, nor do they seem to be concerned that "articles retracted due to data falsification or fabrication are disproportionately found among high-impact journals"
