🎉 As wraps up, we’re reflecting on this year’s theme: Rethinking Peer Review in 🎉 As wraps up, we’re reflecting on this year’s theme: Rethinking Peer Review in the AI Era.

As Laura Feetham-Walker said in discussion with Physics World: it’s not if but how AI will be used in peer review. Innovations in peer review, including AI, must be driven by the needs of the scientific community and introduced from the bottom up, to reflect the nuances at the granular level.

Our recent global survey revealed a divided community, but also a shared desire for clarity and responsible innovation. Based on those insights, we’re calling for:

✅ Harmonised policies across publishers
✅ AI tools embedded within peer review systems — not external platforms
✅ Clear communication and education around what generative AI can (and can’t) do
✅ Flexible, inclusive policies that uphold trust and integrity

As AI continues to evolve, so must the frameworks that guide its use in peer review.

in 1854, Richard Glazebrook was born! This English physicist researched electrical standards and , and he famously determined the length a mercury column should be to express the absolute value of the Ohm. Glazebrook also served as the president of the Physical Society, which later became the Institute of Physics!
