AI can ‘same-ify’ human expression — can some brains resist its pull? Emerging evidence suggests that LLM outputs can shape the text and thoughts of human users.

Scientists using AI tools focus on a narrower range of research fields. People's opinions shifted toward LLM outputs even when warned about bias. They didn't notice. Stylistic diversity in post-ChatGPT text is measurably down.

ERC clarifies limits on AI use in grant evaluation The ERC Scientific Council has adopted new guidelines on the use of artificial intelligence in the evaluation of grant proposals. The guidelines aim to safeguard the integrity of peer review while allowing limited use of AI where it does not compromise responsibility or trust.

How do you feel about AI's role in grant evaluations? New ERC guidelines set limits on its usage! #AIinResearch

Hallucinated citations passing peer review at top AI conferences. An open-source tool detects them at 97.2% accuracy. GPT-5.2 flags 48% of real citations as fake. Open-source is winning this one.

The Shape of the Thing Where we are right now, and what likely happens next

I use Claude Code daily. Most of my time now goes into reviewing its output and steering direction, not doing the work myself. Ethan Mollick argues we've crossed from working with AI to managing agents. I agree.

SocArXiv releases AI policy Introducing SocArXiv’s AI policy.

SocArXiv paused AI submissions for three months, then released a formal policy. Their approach: human judgment only, no algorithmic detection, no AI-to-detect-AI arms race. That is community governance at work.

Will AI Help or Hinder Scientific Publishing? Artificial intelligence could reshape both the creation and evaluation of research. But experts warn of risks.

A 2025 survey found half of researchers use AI for peer review. Editors say it could help an overwhelmed system. The same tools enable fake reviews and confidentiality breaches. Detection and enforcement have not caught up.

DHd 2026 in Vienna showed how vibrant and collaborative the Digital Humanities community has become: from Library Labs and open data workflows to critical debates on AI, data, and epistemology.

Elsevier, Wiley, BMJ Group, American Physical Society and Oxford University Press join Kudos’ zero-click and AI search study Kudos seeks further sponsors for a fast-track research project to help publishers understand and respond to the threat of zero-click search

Ten publishers now fund the Kudos zero-click study. The sponsors put attribution, research integrity, and trust in the scholarly record on the agenda. Cross-sector alignment at this scale on one study is unusual.

From Scarcity to Abundance: Academic Knowledge Production in the Age of Artificial Intelligence The institutional architecture of modern academia rests on scarcity: research is costly to produce, slow to publish, and difficult to evaluate. Artificial intel

Academic knowledge is shifting from scarcity to abundance. AI generates, AI filters, humans govern. And publishers sitting on authoritative content should be enriching it semantically, not just licensing text. Worth reading both.

How do authors want to use AI for review? - EMBO Reports EMBO Reports - A survey of researchers who compared AI-generated scientific reviews with journal-agnostic human peer review reveals that they overwhelmingly prefer using AI as a self-checking tool...

An EMBO Reports study asked what authors actually want from AI in peer review. The top answer was pre-submission self-check. Basically AI-assisted screening with LLMs. Surely people are already doing this with Claude Code and NotebookLM?

#PeerReview #AIinResearch

This AI can improve your peer review — and make it more polite A system of five models helps peer reviewers to write more constructive comments, but it is not yet known whether this strengthens the papers that are being reviewed.

AI that coaches peer reviewers to be more constructive. Not writing reviews. Helping humans write better ones. Tested on 20,000 reviews before ICLR 2025.

Problem with this? Is it AI or inertia?

Science is trust based and AI has eroded it. Punitive AI detection forces researchers to homogenise their writing to avoid false flags. Worse in the Global South.

AI literacy and transparency, or do we just penalise human ingenuity?

When AI reviews science: Can we trust the referee?

Interesting paper testing AI as peer reviewer. It rewarded prestige, penalised cautious language, and caved to confident pushback without evidence. Every known human bias, but at scale and without self-awareness.

Grant proposals drafted with AI help more likely to win NIH funding But funding proposals to US agencies also tend to be more similar to previously funded projects if they are written or edited with the help of a chatbot.

AI-assisted grant proposals win ~4% more often at NIH. But they also look more like previously funded work. Clearer, more polished, more... conventional. So is it AI that's the problem, or what review panels reward?

What we lose when we outsource scientific writing - LSE Impact Writing is often said to be thinking. Based on a study of scientific writing practices, this post analyses what is lost when academic writing is outsourced.

5% AI disclosure rate across 49,000 JAMA submissions. Maybe we're asking the wrong question. We should perhaps ask how AI was used and how accuracy was evaluated. Writing is thinking - outsourcing it entirely means something gets lost.

Peer Review and AI: Your (Human) Opinion Is What Matters

Should AI write peer reviews? ACS Nano's editors say no.

Agree if the AI use is irresponsible. Yet the reviewer shortage is real and responsible AI is needed to scale up.
