Joan Marsh asks whether journals and publishers are delivering authors a good service with copyediting and production.

She thinks their jobs at The Lancet journals are secure despite new digital tools.

"Academic publishers have released an online tool to spot products from “paper mills” or unauthorised outfits paid to fabricate scientific submissions, as the industry tries to boost trust by clamping down on a surge in fake research studies amplified by the use of artificial intelligence."

@FinancialTimes report on the new STM Integrity Hub, built to tackle #ResearchIntegrity problems across publishers.

"Can or should authors use ChatGPT or other AI tools in the development and writing of their own research writing? Can it be used for conducting a literature review? What about analyzing results? Or maybe for drafting an abstract from an existing article?"

I ask that question in all honesty, as someone who left my doctoral program in 2000, who copyedits and develops scholarly manuscripts, but who does not do peer review itself. I thought the move toward instruction was one of kindness, not a categorical change or expectation. I've even thought it quite an entitled expectation.

I'm open to being wrong, but am curious about the shift.

#peerreview #journalpublishing #scholarlypublishing #scholarlycomm

As I've been inquiring directly to #journal #editors about copyediting, I've been surprised by how Editors do this themselves, and also by how many out CE into the hands of their host.

So this question is for the journal editors: how does your journal manage copyediting?

(full disclosure, I'm looking to pick up one or two journals to CE in 2023)

"There is already a rapidly accelerating race taking place between paper mills using ever more complex AI to produce fake papers at scale and publishers employing ever more sophisticated AI technology to detect issues."
