Генеративный ИИ в научных публикациях: первый опыт регулирования и контроля. Круглый стол онлайн

В современном мире генеративный искусственный интеллект становится всё более значимым инструментом в сфере образования и науки.

Однако, использование нейросетей все также вызывает множество вопросов: насколько достоверны результаты, полученные с помощью искусственного интеллекта? Какова цена научных открытий, если они основаны на алгоритмах, а не на традиционном человеческом мышлении? И, наконец, как оценить вклад автора в результат, полученный с использованием генеративного искусственного интеллекта?

В рамках нашего круглого стола предлагаем обсудить первые шаги редакций научных журналов в регулировании применения участниками публикационного процесса больших языковых моделей.

🚀Dear colleagues and friends!

Today post-publication peer reviewing is in focus!

As part of our ongoing commitment to scientific rigor and transparency, I want to highlight PubPeer—a platform reshaping how we engage with published research. Here’s why it matters our scientific and academic community:

🔍 What is PubPeer?
PubPeer (https://pubpeer.com) is an independent platform where researchers worldwide can critique and discuss already published scientific papers.
Think of it as a continuous, crowdsourced peer review process that extends beyond traditional journal workflows.

🌟 Why Should We Care?
1️⃣ Catching Oversights: Even rigorous pre-publication peer review can miss errors. PubPeer’s community has flagged critical issues—from image duplications to statistical flaws—leading to corrections and retractions in high-profile cases (e.g., the Lancethydroxychloroquine study). 2️⃣ Transparency: PubPeer discussions are public, fostering accountability and open dialogue. Authors can respond directly, clarifying concerns or acknowledging mistakes. 3️⃣ Global Collaboration: Researchers from diverse fields and regions contribute insights, enriching scientific discourse.

💡 How You Can Engage
• Authors: Monitor PubPeer for discussions about your work. Use feedback to improve future submissions or issue corrections if needed.
• Reviewers & Readers: Participate respectfully! Cite evidence (e.g., ImageJ analyses, statistical rechecks) to strengthen critiques.
• Stay Informed: You can the PubPeer browser extension to see discussions while browsing literature.

⚖️ Addressing Concerns
• Anonymity: PubPeer allows anonymous comments to protect whistleblowers, but moderation ensures critiques remain evidence-based.
• Ethics: Personal attacks or unsubstantiated claims violate PubPeer’s guidelines—focus on the work, not the author.

🌐 The Bigger Picture
PubPeer isn’t a replacement for peer review—it’s a complement. By embracing post-publication scrutiny, we advance science’s self-correcting nature and build trust in our collective work.

🚀 Another UK University Parts Ways with Elsevier: A Shift Towards Open Access?

Breaking news in academic publishing! 📢 A UK university has joined the growing list of institutions canceling their "Big Deal" subscription with Elsevier, one of the largest academic publishers.
This move signals a continued push toward open access (OA) and sustainable scholarly communication.
Why is this happening?
• Cost Concerns: Traditional subscription models are increasingly seen as unsustainable, with rising fees straining library budgets.
• Open Access Priorities: Universities are prioritizing models that make research freely available, aligning with global OA mandates (like Plan S).
• Supporting Alternatives: Institutions are investing in institutional repositories, preprint platforms, and transformative OA agreements.
What does this mean for researchers? While access to some paywalled Elsevier journals may be affected, the shift encourages: ✅ Publishing in OA venues. ✅ Using green OA (self-archiving preprints/postprints). ✅ Exploring consortia-backed "Read and Publish" deals.
Broader Implications This decision reflects a wider trend in the UK and Europe, where universities are renegotiating or exiting costly publisher agreements. Could this spark a domino effect, accelerating the transition to a fully OA ecosystem?
