In the age of genAI, we all know about “bad bots” that are hitting our institutional repositories and websites. But, what about the “honest bots”? How does our scholarly infrastructure react to them? For the next months I will generate on my blog a report of a “honest bot” that tries to access publication landing pages in European institutional repositories. Follow the reports and stats. Feedback is welcome. https://patrickhochstenbach.net/botfriendliness/ cc @claimbot
