As retrospective national bibliography, VD 16, VD 17, and VD 18 all document printed works of German-speaking countries and regions between 1500–1800, and they have developed into vital tools for research on European cultural history. More than 730,000 catalogued and almost 587,000 digitalized titles are collected in these bibliographies, which also offer a huge potential for distant-reading approaches. In the paper, we outline challenges and prospects for the further development of these VD bibliographies and their historically collected data. The way forward for VD is the future development of a central index and enhancement of data quality and participation structures to create a research-friendly national bibliography for the Early Modern period.

This paper examines the problem of hallucinations in four scientific articles generated by ChatGPT-4 from various sub-fields of business administration. Specifically, the aim is to check whether the references generated by ChatGPT exist and, if this is the case, whether they are correct. A first surprising result is that nearly 40 Prozent of the 174 sources referenced in the articles, whose bibliographic details were listed after the individual main chapters, were not included in the specially for each article generated bibliography. A check of the bibliographic entries revealed that between 18 % and 100 % of the sources in the individual articles could not be found with Google Scholar. Furthermore, half of the sources found were incorrect to varying degrees (wrong document type, wrong journal name, wrong page reference). On average, only a quarter of the bibliographic references were completely correct. In Web of Science, only a quarter of the sources could be verified, but most of them were correct. The above results show that ChatGPT-4 – besides ethical and legal concerns – should definitely not be used for writing scientific papers, as a large proportion of the references generated by ChatGPT (valid at the time of writing this paper) does not exist or is partially incorrect. Furthermore, it can be assumed that some of the article texts generated are also "invented" or come from unreferenced sources (plagiarism). Texts generated by ChatGPT must therefore be subject to a comprehensive review, which may not always be easy. The authors therefore agree with the recommendation of Gimpel et al. (2023) that ChatGPT should primarily be used as a supplement to writing (e. g., spell-checking, creating summaries, supporting the generation of ideas). [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The questions of how and why projects fail in library settings and how such failures can be dealt with productivity are raised repeatedly in specialized publications. The article describes why it is not so easy to find the answers to these questions in literature databases and which search strategies were, nevertheless, used to retrieve numerous relevant results. The results of the research are presented as a bibliography. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The book "The Oral Examination" by Matz, Rogge, and Rumlich is an introduction to the topic of oral examinations and is aimed at students of foreign language didactics, trainee teachers, and teachers of modern foreign languages. It covers various aspects of oral examinations, such as the assessment of oral competence, the evaluation of examination performances, and the involvement of learners in the assessment process. The book also proposes a genre-based concept to alleviate the examination situation and combine teaching with digital communication forms. In his report, the author Karl-Walter Florin expresses concerns regarding the presentation and argumentation of the authors regarding oral examinations. He criticizes that the presentation is too abstract and lacks concrete examples. Furthermore, it is unclear whether there is a reference framework that serves as a basis for evaluation. The author wonders whether oral examinations should demonstrate the learning progress or the achieved language level of the examinees. Additionally, he notes that not all cited literature is listed in the bibliography. [Extracted from the article]

This paper proposes some reflections on the peculiarities and main critical issues of Wikipedia, with particular reference to the study of music history. The entry on Alessandro Scarlatti will be used as a specific case. The main stages in the evolution of this entry are traced, starting with an analysis of the comments posted on the “discussion” page and the changes made by users. General reflections will then be made, based on a comparison with the corresponding entry of a “traditional”, authoritative project: the Dizionario biografico degli Italiani.

This paper aims to emphasize the role of the late Professor Eugen Simion in stimulating research on the works of Dimitrie Cantemir, thus continuing the first project of the Romanian Academy. His project started in 2003, with the republication of the Romanian works of the Prince, and continued between 2014 and 2020, bringing to the public new editions and new translations. This paper will also underline some of the discoveries regarding Cantemir’s bibliography, such as the impact of the compilation Machumetis Saracenorum principis eiusque successorum vitae ac doctrina ipseque Alcoran (1543) or of the works by Petrus Berchorius, Petrus Galtruchius, Nicephoros Blemmidas etc. These critical editions could stimulate future research on Cantemir’s intense and diverse scientific works.

The discipline of Translation Studies has been criticized for being limited to only Euro-American perspectives and cultures, and thus scholars have called for expanding the scope of study beyond the Western conceptualizations of translation. This paper attempts to fill that void in the knowledge of the translation archaeology of Arabic novels translated into English. It creates an up-to-date bibliography of Arabic novels translated into English published worldwide across three decades (1988–2018) by consulting the US Library of Congress global union library catalogue and Good­reads. The collected materials are presented across two major historical periods: the post-Nobel Prize phase (1988–August 2001) and the post-9/11 phase (September 2001–2018). The bibliography includes 277 translated Arabic novels. It identifies the main actors involved in the process of translation, namely the authors, translators, and publishers. In addition to the quantitative analysis of this bibliographical data, this study adopts a comprehensive model by Allen (1995) to apply qualitative analysis to identify the topics being selected for translation into English. The study reveals that an increase in the number of translated works does not necessarily correlate with a greater understanding of the source text culture. In fact, increased translation flows can signal a reinforcement of known cultural stereotypes in the target culture.

The study of the socio-cultural approaches of the music industry is motivated by the topicality and importance of the targeted phenomenon. Through our scientifi c approach we aim to systematize the theories that provide scientifi c answers to the existing problems of the music industry. The comprehensive assessment of the significance and confluence between music and industry was made by analyzing the theories and socio-cultural concepts framed in diff erent socio-cultural and socio-economic paradigms, which focused on research both evolutionary aspects of music activity in the world and aspects of content, functionality and cultural impact on society. The research result, obtained from the analysis of over a hundred thematic bibliographic sources, establishes the evolution of different concepts and theories about the music industry, highlights the most relevant theories and systematizes the reference bibliography for a reconsideration of the term music industry.

The bibliography of the famous astronomer and mathematician of the University of Vienna, John of Gmunden, does not yet seem to be complete: A 15th century codex of St. Peter's Abbey in Salzburg hands down a copy of John's widely known calendars. Therefore, it is possible to ascribe to John of Gmunden a work found in that codex which is ascribed there to a certain Master John. It is a commentary on book IV of the Summa naturalium Alberti corresponding to Aristotle's Meteorologica on which John of Gmunden gave lectures in 1409 and 1411. Thirdly, that codex contains questions on the Sphere of John of Sacrobosco clearly based on the Questiones de spera of Albert of Saxony. John of Gmunden lectured on the Sphere in 1424 and 1425, so perhaps these questions belong to him also. And finally, a logical work is clearly ascribed to John of Gmunden in the Codex Amplonianus Q. 278. This work is yet another Viennese meta-commentary on Hugo of Hervorst, of which four manuscripts are known to be extant. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The present volume "Germanic Myths in the Audiovisual Culture" by Paloma Ortiz-de-Urbina deals with the processing of Germanic myths in audiovisual culture. The contributions examine various media such as Richard Wagner's Siegfried, video games like The Witcher and God of War, as well as the series Vikings. The volume mainly focuses on the impact of Wagner's Gesamtkunstwerk and the reception of his works in different cultural contexts. Other films, video games, and propaganda are also analyzed to examine the transformations and adaptations of the myths. The volume offers individual analyses and highlights popular phenomena, but lacks a systematic overall presentation. The bibliography is extensive, but relevant research papers and popular adaptations are missing. The auditory aspect is also not adequately considered. Overall, the volume provides some enlightening insights, but lacks theoretical depth and a closer reference to the initial questions. [Extracted from the article]
