Dear community, dear workshop participants,
Over the past few years we (NFDI4Chem, NFDI4DS, NFDI4Earth, NFDI‑MatWerk, KonsortSWD, Text+) have organized two workshops on the use of large‑language models (LLMs) in scientific publishing–first highlighting potentials and challenges, then taking a critical look at existing guidelines.
We are grateful for the lively discussions and contributions you all brought to these events. The notes and slides as well as a group photo from the most recent workshop have been compiled and are available here: https://fz-juelich.sciebo.de/s/HzAK5qmQXecEaK6 (password: llm). We apologize for the delay in getting the notes to you. If you would llike to have a text document version of any of the notes or any of the other photos, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us.
Unfortunately, we now have had several departures from our organizing team. Nevertheless, the topic is more relevant than ever. Therefore we would like to continue the series with new faces and fresh ideas! In the future, we plan to place a stronger focus on NFDI‑related data topics and questions of research integrity.
Would you like to get involved? Do you have an idea for a thematic focus? We welcome anyone who is interested—please get in touch with us!
Looking forward to hearing from you!
Best regards,
Nikki
on behalf of the LLM‑Publishing organizing team

Dear participants of the last LLM-publishing workshop and all those
interested in the topic,
Large Language Models (LLMs) continue to heavily influence scholarly
publishing. After our 1^st workshop on “LLMs and the future of
scientific publishing”
<https://www.nfdi4chem.de/cross-cutting-ai-successful-joint-nfdi-workshop-on…>
we identified the lack of *uniform guidelines *for the use of LLMs in
scholarly publishing as one of the key aspects in our discussions.
Therefore, we want to bring this topic forward and invite you to the
*2*^*nd* *edition *of our “LLMs and the future of scholarly
publishing”-*workshop* series:
“*Do they really guide? Guidelines for the use of LLMs in scholarly
publishing” *
*
When?*25.03.2025 *(back2back with Editors4Chem meeting
<https://www.nfdi4chem.de/event/editors4chem4dataquality/> in
Aachen, 2.5 h by train)
*
Where? *Mannheim (GESIS)*
*
*Registration: *https://indico3-jsc.fz-juelich.de/event/262/ (no fee)
*
*Open Call:*Are you an *expert*on guidelines for the use of LLMs in
scholarly publications? Have you*contributed to developing such
guidelines *for your institution or publishing house? Are you are
eager in advancing this topic? We invite you to *share *your
insights, *present *your guidelines, and/or take an active role in
the discussion formats, e.g., as a *moderator*. If you are
interested and/or want to recommend a colleague, please reply to
this email.
We aim to explore current guidelines, identify differences and overlaps
among them, and discuss their feasibility and reasonableness. Having
publishers and authors on board ensures a vivid exchange of thoughts
from various perspectives. Ultimately, our goal is to move towards
broadly accepted, consistent guidelines that promote confidence and
transparency in the use of LLMs in scholarly publishing.
Everyone is explicitly *welcome to forward *this email to other
interested persons!
Looking forward to seeing you soon in Mannheim,
your LLM-publishing orga team

Dear Community,
let me cordially invite you to the following online talk on Wed 23.07.2025, from 11:00 to 12:00 MESZ
Title: Using ORKG Ask for search and exploration of scientific articles
ORKG Ask<https://ask.orkg.org/> is an open-source scholarly search and exploration system supported by Artificial Intelligence (AI), making it possible to find relevant articles across more than 75 million items. With Ask, researchers are able to find scholarly literature by asking specific research questions. A summary answers the research question based on the most relevant literature. Furthermore, the research question is answered for each listed article. In addition, key insights from research articles are automatically extracted. Finally, powerful filtering options, including semantic concepts, make it possible to narrow down the search and find articles researchers are looking for. In this presentation we will discuss the individual features of the ORKG Ask, focusing on how Ask can be used when doing research, while also mentioning the limitations and challenges when using AI for finding scholarly literature.
Speaker: Dr. Allard Oelen
Allard<https://www.tib.eu/en/research-development/open-research-knowledge-graph/se…> is a postdoctoral researcher at TIB and frontend lead for the Open Research Knowledge Graph (ORKG). He obtained a PhD in Computer Science at the Leibniz University Hannover in Germany. He considers himself a full-stack developer interested in the full lifecycle of tools. His research activities are focused on Semantic and Web Technologies, Human Computer Interaction, Crowd-sourced and Collaborative Knowledge Graph Authoring, User Interface Design and Development, User Experience Engineering and Web accessibility.
