Generative AI in Scientific Publishing – Opportunities and Challenges

International Scientific Multidisciplinary Conference: AI for a Smarter Tomorrow

Aleksandra Bradic-Martinovic ORCID

Abstract:

This paper examines how generative artificial intelligence (AI) is reshaping scientific publishing through its growing role in authoring, reviewing, and editorial workflows. It maps the current landscape of generative AI adoption, highlighting how large-scale language models and image-based systems assist researchers and editors in writing, translation, visualisation, and content management. The analysis identifies both opportunities, such as efficiency, inclusivity, and innovation, and challenges, including accuracy, accountability, bias, and uneven policy implementation. Ethical implications are addressed through international and national frameworks that emphasise transparency, human oversight, and provenance verification. By synthesising recent literature and publisher policies, this paper argues for the institutionalization of ethics-in-practice as a foundation for trustworthy AI integration in scholarly communication.
