AI for Scholarly Publishing

I see a couple of reasons for the advance within this community. First, the authors within scholarly publishing are academics by trade, and in the STEM sector (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics), they’re often scientists with advanced degrees. Quite apart from publishing, they are investigating, and often embracing, AI within their research work. They would be more surprised to find that their publisher was not exploring the use of AI in editing and publishing their work.

This flows up into the scholarly publishing ecosystem, where, as often as not, the editors are scholars themselves. For them, technology is not intimidating; it part of their everyday work.

I’m not going to drill down further on the particulars in this book; I’ll report on it in more depth on my blog.
