As artificial intelligence (AI) reshapes peer review, top medical journals are faced with balancing innovation and ethical integrity. A study published in JAMA Network Open explores attitudes towards AI use and the impact on the fairness and efficiency of the peer-reviewing system.
By Dr. Priyom Bose, Ph.D.Reviewed by Benedette Cuffari, M.Sc.Dec 5 2024 As AI reshapes the peer review process, top medical journals wrestle with balancing innovation and ethical integrity while redefining standards for the future of scientific publishing .
A sudden surge in medical research publishing A significant increase in medical research publications has put increasing pressure on the peer-reviewing process, which is slowing due to the lack of enough experts to review articles. Repeated reviews of rejected manuscripts have questioned the fairness and efficiency of the existing peer-reviewing system.
About the study The current study obtained relevant data from Scimago.org. It selected the top 100 medical journals to evaluate their guidance on using AI in peer-review processes. Journals with editorial offices in the United States or Europe were more likely to prohibit AI use than internationally based medical journals. Mixed publishers were also associated with a greater tendency to prohibit AI use.
Confidentiality concerns have been attributed as the main reason for not permitting or limiting AI use in medical journals. In the future, a similar study on guidelines provided by low-ranking journals should be performed to assess and compare their AI policies to those described in the current study.
