Peer review is a key process of evaluating scholarly work. Any research that gets published in peer-reviewed journals\u00a0should be of high quality.\u00a0But with the active use of AI tools, the scientific community is starting to question whether\u00a0the\u00a0peer review process is truly unaffected by AI bias.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In this video,\u00a0<\/span>James Sonne<\/span><\/b>\u00a0(Anatomy & Neurobiology, Ph.D. Integrated Biomedical Sciences)\u00a0explores\u00a0some tough questions on how AI is influencing\u00a0this\u00a0sacred, objective process. Researchers have different motivations for publishing in scientific journals. These motivations play a key role in\u00a0determining\u00a0how AI is used\u00a0or misused.\u00a0The responsibility lies with each one of us as scientists, as potential peer reviewers, to consider for ourselves:\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

What is scientific research good for?<\/span><\/i>\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

And when peer reviewers evaluate manuscripts, that should be the goal they are focusing on. We all need to work towards\u00a0eliminating\u00a0those unconscious biases that are clouding our judgments and provide a fair assessment when reviewing papers.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
