Conference: Ethics and Integrity in Scientific Publishing - Perspectives on Technologies and Policies from the Springer Nature Group
Description:
Ethics and integrity in scientific publishing are fundamental for the advancement of knowledge and trust in research. In this presentation, we will highlight the relevance of this topic today, reinforcing the importance of research institutes, researchers, and publishers working together to prevent malpractice, develop effective policies, and prepare for the challenges posed by new technologies. We will address the importance of treating authorship ethically, respecting the contributions of all involved, and avoiding the misuse of artificial intelligence. Then, we will explore the benefits and risks that artificial intelligence brings to scientific publishing, from its use in manuscript preparation to its use in detecting malpractice or for peer review. Finally, we will discuss article factories and predatory publishers, and we will consider strategies to protect against them.
