Publishers need to provide guidelines on use of AI in research, says Wiley

The publishing company, Wiley, is urging publishers to be proactive in creating policies and guidelines around the use of artificial intelligence (AI) after receiving feedback from almost 5000 researchers.

ExplanAItions was set up to survey researchers on how they are currently using AI and how they might be interested in using it in the future. In addition, Wiley wanted to uncover what researchers want from publishers in terms of guidelines, training and policies. The researchers represented a wide range of disciplines, geographies, career phases and sectors, and nearly all had previously submitted an article for publication or were planning to do so in the near future.
