This session will delve into the complexities and evolving landscape of peer review in scholarly publishing. Peer review is a cornerstone of academic integrity, but it comes with its own set of challenges, including reviewer selection, maintaining impartiality, and managing reviewer workloads. Our distinguished panel will share their experiences and strategies for overcoming these obstacles, ensuring high-quality and unbiased reviews.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Access the recording<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Organiser:<\/strong> ORCID Contact:<\/strong> meetings@orcid.org<\/p>\n\n\n\n Wednesday, 25 September 2024, Repeated in two time zones – 10:00 (CET\/EU and Asia) and 20:00 (CET)(US)<\/p>\n\n\n\n In this webinar we will introduce ‘Eliza’, the first AI-driven peer review tool. Eliza uses the latest NLP-technology (incl. LLM and semantic matching) for analysing both papers submitted to journals or conferences and first peer review drafts in order to provide valuable feedback to the peer-reviewer for improving his\/her report. Eliza also facilitates the editorial decision process by presenting concise information to the editor after the peer-review reports are ready for better and faster decision making. The webinar will first discuss the main features of Eliza and then demonstrate the tool itself. After this, we are open to discuss Eliza with the participants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Access the recording<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Organiser:<\/strong> Z Karssen Contact: <\/strong>zkarssen@world-brain.eu<\/p>\n\n\n\n Wednesday, 25 September 2024, 09:00 Pacific Time<\/p>\n\n\n\n Approaches to peer review are evolving, with the focus shifting towards greater transparency, efficiency, and collaboration.
