Measuring Recognition

Tell the difference between having your title named and having your ideas actually used or recommended.

A title in a list is only a mention.

Ask the same important questions over time and watch whether AI starts explaining, using, citing, comparing, or recommending the work.

Questions about this topic

Answers

How can I tell whether AI is merely mentioning my work or actually using or recommending it?

If AI only lists your title, it is mentioning you. If AI explains your idea or uses your framework, it is using your work. If it tells the reader why your book fits that exact problem, it is moving toward a recommendation.
