Scientific publishing in the era of AI — •Dominik Elsässer — TU Dortmund, Department of Physics

The dissemination of results to colleagues and to the general public has been an indispensable part of the scientific process for as long as humankind has expanded our treasure of knowledge with scientific methods. The forms and the means by which this dissemination happens have however been subject to fundamental changes over time. One such change surely was that many fields of physics have moved towards working in large and international collaborations. And a more recent, yet profound change is the emergence of AI systems, which can be used to support many steps of the publication process, but also pose new challenges. In this talk, I will present key steps of the publication process typically encountered in fundamental physics and adjacent areas, and discuss options, methods, and tools available to the publishing scientist in the era of AI, with a specific focus on modern Large Language Models (LLMs), and on systems based on LLMs. While a focus will be on publication in peer-reviewed journals, there will also be a discussion of other forms of publication.
