Today’s guest post is a recap of the recent SSP webinar, “Ask the Experts: AI in Publishing”, held on October 6, 2022 by the moderator, Anita de Waard, who is VP of Research Collaborations at Elsevier.
This item continues the recent theme of ChatGPT and Artificial Intelligence in research and in research outputs. Included here is a discussion in Scholarly Kitchen, a few learned commentators reflecting on how technology is altering the academic landscape and scholarly publishing. This is a topic area where collaborative researchers, research office staff and Research Integrity Advisers need to be aware of the issues, the challenges and obvious pitfalls for the unwary.
At the SSP ‘Ask the Experts’ Webinar on “AI and Publishing” I (AdW) posed these and other questions to our three invited experts:
- Helen King (HK), Head of Transformation at SAGE Publishers who hosts the influential blog, PubTech Radar
- Lucy Lu Wang (LLW), Assistant Professor at the University of Washington Information School and visiting researcher at the Allen Institute for AI, who helped build the influential and innovative ‘Semantic Scholar’ platform and helps lead a number of workshops on natural language processing of scholarly text, including the SDP and SciNLP Workshops
