Nature Masterclasses Community Insights Webinar
Will using AI impact my chances of publication?
Who do I need to check AI policies with and how?
What sections of a research paper is AI most useful for?
Artificial intelligence (AI) is changing how research is written, shared and reviewed. For some, it represents an opportunity to advance research and make writing and publishing more accessible across the globe. For others, it raises concerns about researcher integrity, the quality of learning and the value of developing writing skills.
As the use of AI in academic publishing grows, many researchers are unsure how to approach it confidently and responsibly. Questions remain about what is acceptable, what should be disclosed and how to balance efficiency with authenticity in research communication.
Join senior Nature Portfolio editor Sadra Bakhshandeh (Nature Reviews Bioengineering, Nature Biomedical Engineering), Springer Nature Head of Journals Policy, Ellie Gendle and experienced researchers Kamar Ameen-Ali (Teesside University) and Wynand Lambrechts (University of Johannesburg) as they discuss current attitudes, evolving policies and practical approaches to engaging with AI in your own work, whether you are an early adopter, a cautious observer or somewhere in between.
During this webinar, they will answer your questions and share practical advice to help you:
- Understand how to discover and interpret relevant AI policies
- Evaluate opportunities and risks when considering AI tools
- Avoid common pitfalls that can lead to ethical concerns or rejection
- Use AI thoughtfully to enhance rather than replace your own writing skills
Please note that any questions should be submitted during registration, via the registration link. While we will attempt to answer as many questions as we can, in the interest of time, we may only be able to cover questions of common interest, so please keep your questions relevant to the topic of AI in academic writing and publishing.
