October 2024The global scholarly event, Peer Review Week, returns for another year to bring together researchers, publishers, editors, and others to share insights on the topic of peer review. This year’s Peer Review Week took place from September 23–27 with the theme of “Innovation and Technology in Peer Review”. Participating organizations hosted a variety of events and workshops that highlighted the new technologies, including AI, and how they are changing the landscape of scholarly communication.
Here are a few of this year’s highlights:
• A blog post written by Uttkarsha Bhosale of Pluto Labs titled “AI-Assisted Peer Reviewer Selection: Addressing and Overcoming the Shortage in Scholarly Publishing.” Their blog discusses how properly utilizing AI-Assisted peer review selection can help editors and reviewers smooth out their process.
• An interview with Laura Etchells, Head of Research Integrity at Emerald Publishing, as she talks their role in peer review and the challenges it faces ahead.
