Our chemistry
peer reviewed
Peer reviewers are vital.
Their work upholds scientific integrity and makes sure that every publication is of a high standard. But they are facing a surge in submissions in an ever-shifting publishing landscape.
New technology can help streamline the publishing process and automate administrative tasks, allowing reviewers to focus on research. Peer Review Week 2024 is a chance to examine the benefits and challenges of technology in the present and the future.
We will be part of the conversation online for this year’s theme: innovation and technology in peer review.

The role of AI in peer review: Thoughts from an Editor-in-Chief
In my opinion, the novelty, scientific depth and potential impact of a research manuscript can only be accurately assessed by a human reviewer. However, the growing use of AI tools in academia, industry and editing may also extend to the manuscript review process. In this context, AI can support reviewers by identifying relevant papers in the field, checking for similar publications by the same or other authors, and helping to determine whether the manuscript addresses a knowledge gap in a specific area.
From a formal perspective, AI can also be valuable in ensuring that the manuscript cites relevant and up-to-date scientific literature, adheres to proper grammar and style, and complies with the journal's guidelines for authors.
