  5. Reihe „Europawochen“ – Heute:
    Christina Paulus und Giselheid Wagner erklären, wie Peer Review als Verfahren zur Qualitätsentwicklung in der Validierung genutzt werden kann. Sie betonen die Eignung des Verfahrens, um Validierungsprozesse transparenter, vergleichbarer und national wie Europaweit besser anschlussfähig zu machen.

  7. A major #AIconference, the International Conference on Learning Representations (#ICLR), discovered that 21% of #peerreviews were fully #AIgenerated. #Researchers raised concerns about AI-generated #reviews, citing issues like #hallucinatedcitations and #vaguefeedback. Organisers will now use automated tools to assess submissions and reviews for AI use. nature.com/articles/d41586-025 #tech #media #news

    Papers & #peerreviews with evidence of #ChatGPT writing

    Retraction Watch readers have likely heard about papers showing evidence that they were written by ChatGPT. We have reported on the phenomenon.

    Here’s a list — relying on a search strategy developed by #GuillaumeCabanac, who has been posting the results on #PubPeer — of such papers that we’ll keep updated regularly. We also recommend Alex Glynn’s Academ-AI. Have a suggested entry? Use this form.

  11. 🧐Furthermore, the use of #AI to perform #academic #peerreviews is not only lazy, it's fundamentally #irresponsible and #unethical to the development of #scientific #research. Like errant or #corrupt priests and cardinals that needed to be ferreted out by the Church, this disturbing trend in #global #academicresearch, seemingly involving top-tier #universities, sorely needs to be nipped in the bud before it rots and festers the entire #credibility of new #science - to the detriment of #mankind.🤔

  12. Nikkei Asia: ‘Positive review only’: Researchers hide AI prompts in papers. “Research papers from 14 academic institutions in eight countries — including Japan, South Korea and China — contained hidden prompts directing artificial intelligence tools to give them good reviews, Nikkei has found. Nikkei looked at English-language preprints — manuscripts that have yet to undergo formal peer […]

  15. Ein #Professor der #University of #California hat eine #Sammelklage gegen sechs große #akademischeVerlage, darunter #Elsevier und #Wiley, eingereicht. Die Klage wirft ihnen vor, durch wettbewerbswidrige Praktiken die wissenschaftliche #Forschung zu behindern und dabei enorme #Gewinne auf Kosten der #Akademiker zu erzielen. Kritisiert werden unentgeltliche #PeerReviews, das Verbot der Mehrfach-Einreichung von Manuskripten und lange #Begutachtungszeiten.

    arxiv.org/abs/2403.16887

    1st in a series of 2 articles on the use of generative AI when evaluating scientific papers or studies.

    This publication is not intended to give a moral lesson on the use of generative AI in research papers. It's more about raising awareness of how to use them better, or not.
