AI tools in scientific publishing – an introduction
Channel: European Geosciences Union
Date: 18/03/2024

Tools using artificial intelligence (AI) have increasingly been applied in scientific publishing. AI tools can benefit authors by improving the language of scientific material including peer-reviewed publications. Despite assisting with the production of scientific material, the meteoric rise in AI tools have prompted concerns on whether their use is appropriate and ethical. This webinar introduced how AI tools are currently applied in scientific publishing, highlighted the key questions shadowing their use, and explored what this means for EGU journals and beyond.

The webinar lasted one hour and finished with an audience Q&A.

Speaker:

Dr Sam Illingworth is an Associate Professor at Edinburgh Napier University in the UK. He is an award-winning researcher in science communication and interdisciplinary studies. Sam is also the Chief Executive Editor of the Geoscience Communication journal and the founder of Consilience, the world’s first science & poetry peer-reviewed journal.
