🔴 🗺️ **Known unknowns in the North. Uncertain maps of the Arctic in early modern times**

“_By zooming in on world maps and North Pole maps from the sixteenth and the seventeenth centuries and examining them in a long-term chronological sequence, we can follow lines and lands that appear and disappear and trace the winding paths of mapping processes and practices through the centuries._”

van Netten, djoeke (2025) ‘Known unknowns in the North. Uncertain maps of the Arctic in early modern times’, International Journal of Cartography, pp. 1–20. doi: doi.org/10.1080/23729333.2025..

🔴 💻 **Are chatbots reliable text annotators? Sometimes**

“_Given the unreliable performance of ChatGPT and the significant challenges it poses to Open Science, we advise caution when using ChatGPT for substantive text annotation tasks._”

'It doesn’t matter what transformative anticapitalist, antiracist or antiheteropatriarchal ideas we profess in the content of our work. They can be inspired by Karl Marx, Audre Lorde, Gilles Deleuze, María Lugones, Walter Mignolo, Angela Davis, bell hooks, Alain Badiou, Donna Haraway, Silvia Federici, Byung-Chul Han, Benjamin Bratton … whoever. But when it comes to our knowledge-making practices – the taken-for-granted forms our writing takes, the habitual ways in which we disseminate and monetise it, the associated upholding of notions of individualism, human rights and property rights – we still have to operate according to what is actually a Euro-Western, modernist and middle-class, straight white male model of the humanities researcher.'

🔴 **Generative AI and accuracy in the history of mathematics**

“_This process is illustrated by querying ChatGPT with questions from a history of mathematics quiz designed to highlight the common occurrence of mathematical results being misattributed. ChatGPT's performance on a set of decades-old common misconceptions is mixed, illustrating the potential for these systems to reproduce and reinforce historical inaccuracies and misconceptions._”

Rowlett, P. (2024) ‘Generative AI and accuracy in the history of mathematics’, British Journal for the History of Mathematics, 39(1), pp. 64–69. doi: doi.org/10.1080/26375451.2024..

🔴 **Unpacking the effects of materialism on interpersonal relationships: A cognitive approach**

“_Three studies (N = 1389) employing correlational and experimental methodologies showed that materialism leads to heightened expectations and standards for a significant other, which are associated with poorer interpersonal outcomes. Specifically, materialism heightens the ideal standards that one has for a close other around achievement (e.g., ambition) and positive image (e.g., attractiveness), which are linked to higher conflict and lower relational satisfaction._”

Moldes, O. (2025). Unpacking the effects of materialism on interpersonal relationships: A cognitive approach. British Journal of Social Psychology, 64, e12795. doi.org/10.1111/bjso.12795.

🔴 💻 **“Turning right”? An experimental study on the political value shift in large language models**

“_Our findings reveal that while newer versions of ChatGPT consistently maintain values within the libertarian-left quadrant, there is a statistically significant rightward shift in political values over time, a phenomenon we term a ‘value shift’ in large language models._”

Liu, Y., Panwang, Y. & Gu, C. “Turning right”? An experimental study on the political value shift in large language models. Humanit Soc Sci Commun 12, 179 (2025). doi.org/10.1057/s41599-025-044.
