How can I use AI tools effectively without risking plagiarism or data security?
Who do I need to check AI policies with and how?
What steps of a publication process 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 worldwide. 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. In this webinar we'll explore what’s 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 and Nature Biomedical Engineering), Head of Journals Policy Ellie Gendle (Springer Nature) 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.
