Ensuring Integrity in Scientific Publications in the face of AI This podcast is a recording of a live #MedComms webinar. Instances of peer-reviewed publications now appearing in their final published form with obvious AI prompts still included in the text, have sparked lively social media discussion about the basic integrity of the scientific publications process. Is it in fact fit for purpose? In this webinar, we will talk about the practicalities involved in publishing a peer-review paper and who is involved in what steps. We'll discuss how AI tools are already being used by authors, other contributors, peer-reviewers and the production teams themselves. We'll highlight the pitfalls and we'll think about how these tools can be built into the process while maintaining the high level of trust in the integrity of scientific publishing that is so important for everyone. On our panel we will be joined by Laura Dormer (Becaris Publishing), Hamish McDougall (SAGE Publishing) and Jonathan Patience (Taylor and Francis). And we answer questions from the audience.

AI in medical publishing - are we loving it? This podcast is a recording of a live #MedComms webinar. In this webinar we are reconvening our regular panel of specialist publishers.

What tools are being used already? What guidance is being issued? Are we seeing more benefits or dangers? None of us are AI experts. This discussion is about the daily practicalities and questions that are arising around managing specialist content in the face of rapidly developing uptake of AI tools. And we answer questions from the audience. This recording was made on 14 February 2024 PODCAST:
