Google Scholar or Semantic Scholar ?
Ever typed your topic and got thousands of results, but still felt stuck, because you do not know which tool to trust.
✅Google Scholar is best when you want wide coverage. It pulls journal articles, theses, conference papers, book chapters, and university repository PDFs. So it helps you build a strong starting list and follow citation trails.
✅Semantic Scholar is best when you want to narrow fast. It shows cleaner paper details like topics, citations, and related papers, so you can shortlist quicker and find similar studies without getting lost.
✅Best workflow for research students👇🏿
Start with Google Scholar to expand your pool. Then move to Semantic Scholar to screen faster and refine your final reading list.

When I started my research journey in my master's, I judged journals by their titles.
If it sounded serious and had “International” in the name, I trusted it. 😊
Then Prof. Muhammad Shakil showed me the journal I’d been reading was on a predatory list.
Same topic as top publishers, but zero peer review and fake metrics.
That week I made a simple rule for myself:
if I’m building my understanding or citing in a paper, I start with trusted publishers first.
Here’s a quick guide to some major academic publishers and what they’re good for:
• Elsevier
Strong across sciences, health, social sciences. Many Scopus and Web of Science journals.
• Springer Nature
Big in STEM and medicine; includes Springer, Nature titles, and BioMed Central for open access.
• Wiley
Well known for psychology, business, and social sciences; lots of society journals.
• Taylor & Francis Group
Great for humanities, education, tourism, and management fields.
• Sage
Very strong in social sciences, education, and methods.
• Emerald Publishing
Focused on business, management, hospitality, tourism, and leadership.
• MDPI
Fast, fully open access; only use well-established titles that fit your field and scope.
• Cambridge University Press & Assessment
Highly selective, theory-heavy, and often field-defining journals.
• JSTOR
Archive of high-quality older articles—perfect for background reading and classic work.
Two pro tips for beginners:
1. When in doubt, read from these publishers first instead of random “international” journals.
2. Learn to recognize their logos/symbols; your brain will quickly spot high-trust sources when you scan search results.
Save this post so next time you search the literature, you can quickly filter for trusted publishers and avoid predatory traps.

Ce que la puissance chinoise donne à voir… et ce qu'elle dissimule.
J'évoque souvent ici la force de certains modèles propres à la Chine : efficacité, rapidité, capacité d'exécution, ambition technologique. Mais mettre en avant ce qu'elle fait bien, et qui peut nous inspirer, ne signifie pas ignorer ses angles morts. Et souligner ses fragilités ne revient pas non plus pas à nier ses accomplissements. Les deux coexistent.
La Chine est aujourd’hui une superpuissance industrielle et digitale. Au-delà de cette efficacité spectaculaire, et derrière cette ascension à tout rompre, l'envers du décor n'est pas forcément idyllique.
Il existe des tensions permanentes entre l'audace du pays et ses fragilités, son hyper-modernité et ses rigidités structurelles, son innovation et le contrôle qui encadre la totalité de la société.
Ce modèle s'est construit sous une forte pression politique et organisationnelle. Ces contraintes n'empêchent pas la performance, mais elles laissent apparaître des vulnérabilités qui ne sont pas mentionnées dans les récits officiels.
Qu'est-ce qui vient nuancer le tableau ?
- une crise immobilière longue
- un chômage des jeunes élevé malgré des études poussées
- un endettement massif
- la prudence des investisseurs locaux et étrangers
- la chute des naissances et une solitude croissante
- une augmentation des recherches en ligne liées à l'anxiété et à la dépression, une demande croissante de consultations malgré l’absence de données faute de transparence.
Une partie de l'élite chinoise émigre au Japon, à la recherche de stabilité et de perspectives éducatives pour ses enfants. Les talents désertent. La jeunesse exprime son désenchantement avec un retour à la spiritualité ou à la nature. Dans tous les cas, les valeurs bougent beaucoup en ce moment.
Le secteur privé n'est pas épargné. Beaucoup d’entrepreneurs réussissent, malgré le système plus que grâce à lui. The Economist mentionnait en octobre plusieurs cas de suicides parmi des dirigeants, illustrant la pression actuelle. Et l'ONG Safeguard Defenders a documenté quatre récents suicides d'entrepreneurs, tous auparavant soumis à des enquêtes disciplinaires.
Comme partout, la Chine traverse une mutation. Elle affronte des défis économiques et sociaux qui ressemblent parfois aux nôtres : productivité en berne, arbitrages difficiles entre contrôle et innovation, tensions géopolitiques, nécessité de réformes structurelles.
Je vois que souvent, elle suscite soit la peur, soit la fascination. Pourtant, une pensée complexe, qui intègre des réalités variées mais concomitantes, est la seule façon de percevoir un pays si contrasté.
D'une façon générale, sachons regarder de façon pragmatique, sans se laisser submerger par l'émotionnel. C'est la meilleure façon de lire le monde quand la tendance est à la polarisation sur tout. | 14 comments on LinkedIn

I made a MAP OF TIKTOK.
Y'all kept asking. So here is it is.
We don't know a lot about TikTok's algorithm. Last year, 1,100 people sent us their TikTok data to help try to learn more. (They say they're "transparent" about how it works. You be the judge!)
I used an open-source collaborative filtering algorithm -- a simplified version of what TikTok has signaled that it uses -- to make a map of 121,000 videos on TikTok. Videos watched by similar people end up closer together. So videos on the same topic tend to cluster together, even though my algorithm doesn't know anything about the video content.
Even more astonishingly, the algorithm determined gender was one of the biggest determining factors in the topics you see on your feed. Look at the second map here: it's almost a perfect gradient, with topics seen disproportionately by women on the left (like books and skincare), and those seen disproportionately by men (sports and videogames) on the right.
All of the amazing beautiful design and graphics work by Joe Fox and Leslie S. (you don't want to see the ugly matplotlib version I made alone.)

Will *library* centric *discovery* solutions fade away? Sage divests LeanLibrary. https://lnkd.in/e2VcPzMK? At best they were perhaps just a minor part of the discovery ecosystem anyway. Thinking about the AI context, should *library* solutions now focus more on *curation* (resource/reading lists/VLEs/textbook platforms) and supporting evaluation of *integrity* and *quality* of content? Guardian earlier this year: "Many argue that scientific publishing is broken, unsustainable and churning out too many papers that border on worthless" https://lnkd.in/e4aryDkh "Quality of scientific papers questioned as academics ‘overwhelmed’ by the millions published"

Three months ago, a PhD student asked me a simple question that revealed a big problem:
“Haroon… why doesn’t ChatGPT give me the same quality answers you get?”
So I asked her to show me her prompts.
She typed:
“Explain this better.”
“Write my literature review.”
“Make this academic.”
And that’s when it clicked:
Most researchers don’t struggle with AI —
They struggle with telling AI exactly what they need.
Your output is only as good as your prompt.
So I created a set of 14 research-ready prompts that work for planning, reviewing, analyzing, and generating ideas—without crossing academic integrity lines.
Here’s what they help you do:
Research Plan
Turn any topic into objectives, a timeline, a budget, and an impact.
Brainstorm Topics
Get 10 meaningful topics with justification + a research question.
Study Review
Summaries of recent studies—methods, findings, gaps.
Question Builder
Convert an idea into 5 research questions + hypotheses.
Research Timeline
Key breakthroughs over the past decade.
Dataset Helper
Useful tests, insights, and visualizations from your dataset.
Find Gaps
Identify gaps from links and propose one experiment per gap.
Method Design
Outline your method, data sources, ethics, and outcomes.
Check Credibility
Evaluate bias, evidence strength, and missing sources.
Trend Insights
Predict emerging trends using real data.
Ethics Review
Privacy, bias, risk areas, regulations.
Abstract Summary
Turn an abstract into visuals + key takeaways.
Hypothesis Ideas
Generate testable, valid hypotheses for your question.
Cross-Topic Links
Connect two topics and propose hybrid ideas.
If you’re using AI for research,
your prompts are the difference between generic output and research-level clarity.
Save this list — it’ll become your daily toolkit.

📱 TikTok : pourquoi les marques doivent (enfin) le veiller sérieusement
TikTok n’est plus seulement la plateforme des tendances. C’est devenu un espace d’influence massive, où se jouent désormais réputation, consommation et crises.
📕 Pour aider les communicants et veilleurs à mieux comprendre cet écosystème, Visibrain publie son tout nouveau guide sur la veille TikTok.
Pourquoi veiller TikTok aujourd'hui ?
- Parce que TikTok façonne l’image des organisations : un challenge viral peut propulser une marque, mais un bad buzz peut aussi y naître ou y transiter
- Parce que c’est une source d’insights : on y observe des usages émergents, des communautés très actives et des créateurs capables de faire bouger les perceptions, un terrain précieux pour anticiper les tendances
- Parce que c'est un réseau qui transforme : TikTok influence désormais les achats, la culture, la politique, les comportements

C’est une réponse cinglante aux modèles opaques et énergivores de la Silicon Valley et des répliques chinoises. Ce 9 décembre, l’hébergeur suisse infomaniak | The Ethical Cloud a dévoilé #Euria, son propre #assistant d’#intelligenceartificielle. Accessible gratuitement sur mobile et le Web, Euria ne se contente pas de rivaliser avec ChatGPT sur le plan des fonctionnalités : elle introduit un modèle vertueux (inédit) où chaque requête contribue à chauffer des foyers à Genève, tout en garantissant qu’aucune donnée personnelle ne sert à l’entraînement des modèles. Ah oui, c’est open source !
