-        In this blog post, we begin the development of a rough taxonomy for understanding
-        how and where AI can and/or should play a role in a publisher’s workflow.</p><!--kg-card-end:
-        html--><p>We intend to iterate on this taxonomy (for now, we will use the
-        working title ‘Scholarly AI Taxonomy’).</p><h2 id=\"scholarly-ai-taxonomy\">Scholarly
-        AI Taxonomy</h2><p>To kickstart discussions on AI''s potential impact on publishing
-        workflows, we present our initial categorization of the \"Scholarly AI Taxonomy.\"
-        This taxonomy outlines seven key roles that AI could potentially play in a
-        scholarly publishing workflow:</p><ol><li><strong>Extract</strong>: Identify
-        and isolate specific entities or data points within the content.</li><li><strong>Validate</strong>:
-        Verify the accuracy and reliability of the information.</li><li><strong>Generate</strong>:
-        Produce new content or ideas, such as text or images.</li><li><strong>Analyse</strong>:
-        Examine patterns, relationships, or trends within the information.</li><li><strong>Reformat</strong>:
-        Modify and adjust information to fit specific formats or presentation styles.</li><li><strong>Discover</strong>:
-        Search for and locate relevant information or connections.</li><li><strong>Translate</strong>:
-        Convert information from one language or form to another.</li></ol><p>The
-        above is the first pass at a taxonomy. To flesh out these further, we have
-        provided examples to illustrate each category further. </p><p>We thoroughly
-        recognise that some of the examples below, when further examined, may be miscategorized.
-        Further, we recognise that some examples could be illustrations of several
-        of these categories at play at once and don’t sit easily within just one of
-        the items listed. We also acknowledge that the categories themselves will
-        need thorough discussion and revision going forward. However, we hope that
-        this initial taxonomy can play a role in helping the community understand
-        what AI could mean for publishing processes.</p><p>Also note, in the examples
-        we are not making any assertions about the accuracy of AI when performing
-        these tasks. There are a lot of discussions already on whether the current
-        state of AI tools can do the following activities <em>well</em>. We are not
-        debating that aspect of the community discussion; that is for publishers and
-        technologists to explore further as the technology progresses and as we all
-        gain experience using these tools. </p><p>These categories are only proposed
-        as a way of understanding the <em>types of contributions</em> AI tools can
-        make. That being said, some of the below examples are more provocative than
-        others in an attempt to help the reader examine what they think <em>and feel</em>
-        about these possibilities.</p><h2 id=\"initial-categorization\">Initial categorization</h2><p>Our
-        initial seven categories are detailed further below.</p><h3 id=\"1-extractidentify-and-isolate-specific-entities-or-data-points-within-the-content\">1.
-        Extract - <em>Identify and isolate specific entities or data points within
-        the content</em></h3><p>In the extraction stage, AI-powered tools can significantly
-        streamline the process of identifying and extracting relevant information
-        from content and datasets. However, an over-reliance on AI for this task can
-        lead to errors if the models are not well-tuned or lack the necessary context
-        to identify entities accurately. Some speculative examples:</p><ol><li>Identifying
-        author names and affiliations from a submitted manuscript to pre-fill forms
-        and save time during submission while increasing the accuracy of the input.</li><li>Extracting
-        key terms and phrases for indexing purposes.</li><li>Isolating figures and
-        tables from a research article for separate processing.</li><li>Extracting
-        metadata, such as title, abstract, and keywords, from a document.</li><li>Identifying
-        citations within a text for reference management.</li></ol><h3 id=\"2-validateverify-the-accuracy-and-reliability-of-the-information\">2.
-        Validate - <em>Verify the accuracy and reliability of the information</em></h3><p>AI-based
-        systems can validate information by cross-referencing data against reliable
-        sources or expected structures, ensuring content conformity, accuracy and/or
-        credibility. While this can reduce human error, it is essential to maintain
-        a level of human oversight, as AI models may not always detect nuances in
-        language or identify reliable sources. Some examples:</p><ol><li>Cross-referencing
-        citations to ensure accuracy and proper formatting.</li><li>Verifying author
-        affiliations against an established database.</li><li>Ensuring proper image
-        attribution and permissions.</li><li>Checking factual information in an article
-        against trusted sources.</li><li>Validating claims made in a scientific paper
-        against previous studies.</li></ol><h3 id=\"3-generateproduce-new-content-or-ideas-such-as-text-or-images\">3.
-        Generate - <em>Produce new content or ideas, such as text or images</em></h3><p>AI
-        can create high-quality text and images, saving time and effort for authors
-        and editors. However, the content generated by AI may contain factual inaccuracies,
-        lack creativity, or inadvertently reproduce biases present in the training
-        data, necessitating human intervention to ensure accuracy, quality, originality,
-        and adherence to ethical guidelines. Some examples:</p><ol><li>Generating
-        social media content (e.g., summarising longer text to a tweetable length)
-        or promotional content for a new publication.</li><li>Creating keyword lists
-        for search engine optimization (SEO).</li><li>Automatically generating an
-        abstract or summary of a manuscript, particularly a plain language summary
-        pitched at a certain audience.</li><li>Creating a list of suggested article
-        titles based on the content and target audience.</li><li>Producing visually
-        engaging charts or graphs from raw data.</li></ol><h3 id=\"4-analyseexamine-patterns-relationships-or-trends-within-the-information\">4.
-        Analyse - <em>Examine patterns, relationships, or trends within the information</em></h3><p>AI-driven
-        data analytics tools can help publishers extract valuable insights from their
-        content, identifying patterns and trends to optimize content strategy. While
-        AI can provide essential information, over-reliance on AI analytics may lead
-        to overlooking important context or misinterpreting data, requiring human
-        analysts to interpret findings accurately. Some examples:</p><ol><li>Analyse
-        an image to create accessible text descriptions.</li><li>Determining the sentiment
-        of reviews.</li><li>Identifying trending topics in a specific field to guide
-        editorial direction.</li><li>Analyzing the readability level of a manuscript.</li><li>Discovering
-        patterns in citation networks to identify influential articles and authors.</li></ol><h3
-        id=\"5-reformatmodify-and-adjust-information-to-fit-specific-formats-or-presentation-styles\">5.
-        Reformat - <em>Modify and adjust information to fit specific formats or presentation
-        styles</em></h3><p>AI can reformat content for specific media channels or
-        alternative structures, enhancing user experience and accessibility. However,
-        AI-generated formatting may not always be ideal or adhere to specific style
-        guidelines, requiring human editors to fine-tune the formatting. Some examples:</p><ol><li>Formatting
-        content to comply with a specific style guide.</li><li>Adapting a long-form
-        article for a shorter, mobile-friendly version.</li><li>Converting a manuscript
-        into XML or converting datasets to open formats.</li><li>Rearranging content
-        to fit different print and digital formats.</li><li>Adjusting images and graphics
-        for optimal display across various devices.</li></ol><h3 id=\"6-discoversearch-for-and-locate-relevant-information-or-connections\">6.
-        Discover - <em>Search for and locate relevant information or connections</em></h3><p>AI
-        can efficiently find and link information about a subject, streamlining the
-        research process. However, AI-driven information discovery may yield irrelevant,
-        incorrect, or outdated results, necessitating human verification and filtering
-        to ensure accuracy and usefulness. Some examples:</p><ol><li>Finding relevant
-        articles within a publisher’s corpus to recommend for further reading.</li><li>Identifying
-        potential reviewers for a submitted manuscript based on their expertise.</li><li>Discovering
-        trending topics for a call for papers.</li><li>Locating similar works to provide
-        context for a piece of content.</li><li>Searching for related images or multimedia
-        to accompany a text.</li></ol><h3 id=\"7-translateconvert-information-from-one-language-or-form-to-another\">7.
-        Translate - <em>Convert information from one language or form to another</em></h3><p>AI
-        can quickly translate languages and sentiments, making content more accessible
-        and understandable to diverse audiences. However, AI translations can sometimes
-        be inaccurate or lose nuances in meaning, especially when dealing with idiomatic
-        expressions or cultural context, necessitating the involvement of human translators
-        for sensitive or complex content. Some examples:</p><ol><li>Translating a
-        research article or book into another language.</li><li>Converting scientific
-        jargon into more accessible language for a popular science article.</li><li>Adapting
-        a text''s cultural references to be more understandable for a global readership.</li><li>Translating
-        the sentiment of a text.</li><li>Converting spoken language into written transcripts
-        (or vice versa) for interviews or podcasts.</li></ol><h2 id=\"balancing-ai-and-human-intervention-in-publishing-workflows\">Balancing
-        AI and Human Intervention in Publishing Workflows</h2><p>There is potential
-        for AI to benefit publishing workflows. Still, it''s crucial to identify where
-        AI should play a role and when human intervention is required to check and
-        validate outcomes of assisted technology. In many ways, this is no different
-        to how publishing works today. If there is one thing publishers do well, and
-        sometimes to exaggerated fidelity, it is quality assurance.</p><p>However,
-        AI tools offer several new dimensions which can bring machine assistance into
-        many more parts of the process at a much larger scale. This, together with
-        the feeling we have that AI is, in fact, in some ways ‘doing work previously
-        considered to be the sole realm of the sentient’ and the need for people and
-        AI machines to ‘learn together’ so those outcomes can improve, means there
-        is both factual and emotional requirements to scope, monitor, and check these
-        outcomes.</p><p>Consequently, workflow platforms must be designed with interfaces
-        allowing seamless ‘Human QA’ at appropriate points in the process. These interfaces
-        should enable publishers to review, edit, and approve AI-generated content
-        or insights, ensuring that the final product meets the required standards
-        and ethical guidelines. Where possible, the ‘Human QA’ should feed back into
-        the AI processes to improve future outcomes; this also needs to be considered
-        by tool builders.</p><p>To accommodate this ''Human QA'', new types of interfaces
-        will need to be developed in publishing tools. These interfaces should facilitate
-        easy interaction between human users and AI-generated content, allowing for
-        necessary reviews and modifications. For instance, a journal workflow platform
-        might offer a feature where users are asked to ''greenlight'' a pre-selected
-        option from a drop-down menu (e.g., institutional affiliation), generated
-        by AI. This way, researchers and editors can quickly validate AI-generated
-        suggestions while providing feedback to improve the AI''s performance over
-        time. Integrating such interfaces not only ensures that the content adheres
-        to the desired quality standards and ethical principles but also expedites
-        the publishing process, making it more efficient.</p><h2 id=\"the-speed-of-trust\">The
-        Speed of Trust</h2><p>Trust plays a large role in this process. As we learn
-        more about the fidelity and accuracy of these systems and confront what AI
-        processes can and can’t do well to date, we will need to move forward with
-        building AI into workflows ''at the speed of trust.''</p><p>Adopting a \"speed
-        of trust\" approach means being cautious yet open to AI''s potential in transforming
-        publishing workflows. It involves engaging in honest conversations about AI''s
-        capabilities and addressing concerns, all while striking a balance between
-        innovation and desirable community standards. As we navigate this delicate
-        balance, we create an environment where AI technology can grow and adapt to
-        better serve the publishing community.</p><p>For example, as a start, when
-        integrating AI into publishing workflows, we believe it is essential to provide
-        an ‘opt-in’ and transparent approach to AI contributions. Publishers and authors
-        should be informed about the extent of AI involvement and its limitations,
-        and presented with interfaces allowing them to make informed decisions about
-        when and how AI will be used. This transparent ‘opt-in’ approach helps build
-        trust, allows us to iterate forward as we gain more experience, and sets the
-        stage for discussions and practices regarding ethical AI integration in publishing
-        workflows.</p><h2 id=\"conclusion\">Conclusion</h2><p>The potential of AI
-        in publishing workflows is immense, and we find ourselves at a time when the
-        technology has taken a significant step forward. But it''s essential to approach
-        its integration with a balanced perspective. We can harness the power of AI
-        while adhering to ethical standards and delivering high-quality content by
-        considering both the benefits and drawbacks of AI, identifying areas for human
-        intervention, maintaining transparency, and evolving our understanding of
-        AI contributions.</p><p>This initial taxonomy outlined in this article can
-        serve as a starting point for understanding how AI can contribute to publishing
-        workflows. By quantifying AI contributions in this way, we can also discuss
-        the ethical boundaries of AI-assisted workflows more clearly and help publishers
-        make informed decisions about AI integration.</p><p>By adopting a thoughtful
-        strategy, the combined strengths of AI and human expertise can drive significant
-        advancements and innovation within the publishing industry.</p><hr><!--kg-card-begin:

-        at <i>Quintessence of Dust</i>, after another long hiatus. Here are some of
-        my reasons.</div><div><br /></div><div>1. I like to write, and I have things
-        to say, and I self-identify as an author. For eight years, I have co-organized
-        and taught in the <a href=\"https://meetings.cshl.edu/courses.aspx?course=C-WRITE&amp;year=23\"
-        target=\"_blank\">Scientific Writing Retreat at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory</a>.
-        I''m a writer and I need to write, if only for myself.</div><div><br /></div><div>2.
-        I have an idea for a book, along with some introductory work (but no sample
-        chapters yet) and writing here will help me develop those thoughts. The idea
-        is over twelve years old and has never faded away, which I take to mean that
-        I need to get it out of my system somehow.</div><div><br /></div><div>3. I
-        have other ideas kicking around in my head and most of them are worth writing
-        about. I have one new intellectual passion that is totally worth writing about:
-        <a href=\"https://skyislandalliance.org/the-sky-islands/\" target=\"_blank\">the
-        Sky Islands</a>&nbsp;that nearly surround us here in Tucson.</div><div><br
-        /></div><div>4. I have an exciting new job with great new people at <a href=\"https://plos.org/\"
-        target=\"_blank\">an organization</a> that''s all in for <a href=\"https://plos.org/open-science/\"
-        target=\"_blank\">open science</a>. I recently turned over the tens digit
-        on my age-o-meter. My kids will very soon be all out of college. (One is about
-        to start a postdoc!) All of this led, predictably, to a spasm of reflection
-        on projects and vision. One clear result is that I''m feeling more inspired.<span><a
-        name=''more''></a></span></div><div><br /></div><div>5. The demise of Twitter
-        has led to a lot of <a href=\"https://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2022/11/twitter-facebook-social-media-decline/672074/\"
-        target=\"_blank\">useful commentary</a> about the nature of social media.
-        I left Facebook two years ago and all but left Twitter two months ago. I''m
-        on a&nbsp;<a href=\"https://fediscience.org/explore\" target=\"_blank\">good
-        server at Mastodon</a>&nbsp;and I like it; maybe microblogging there can satisfy
-        my desire for conversation and connection. But <a href=\"https://www.theverge.com/23513418/bring-back-personal-blogging\"
-        target=\"_blank\">this recent piece</a> at <i>The Verge</i> by <a href=\"https://moniquejudge.com/\"
-        target=\"_blank\">Monique Judge</a> convinced me that blogging could (again)
-        have a place in the future.</div><div><br /><div>Here''s her summary, emphasis
-        mine:</div><div><blockquote>At the end of the day, we don’t know what is going
-        to happen next with Twitter or any of these platforms. We don’t know what
-        changes <a href=\"https://www.techtarget.com/whatis/definition/Web-30\" target=\"_blank\">Web
-        3.0</a> is going to bring to the internet. We do know that <b>we will all
-        still be here, wanting to share our thoughts, talk about anything and everything,
-        and commune with our people</b>. Personal blogging is the simplest and fastest
-        way to do all of that.&nbsp;</blockquote></div><div>That''s what I want! A
-        place to write, and (if I''m lucky) a place to discuss and \"commune\" with
-        people. That used to happen a lot at <i>Quintessence of Dust</i>.<span></span></div></div></div><div><br
-        /></div><div>Okay, but why here? This blog is over 15 years old and was started
-        when I was a Christian believer. <a href=\"https://sfmatheson.blogspot.com/2007/08/kicking-off-my-blog.html\"
-        target=\"_blank\">Its founding themes</a> were anchored in a desire to help
-        Christians understand and enjoy biology, to help them shake free of misinformation
-        and dishonesty. It has twice languished through long hiatuses and was <a href=\"https://sfmatheson.blogspot.com/p/about.html\"
-        target=\"_blank\">remodeled</a> back in 2017 a few years after I deconverted.
-        Maybe it''s time to start anew? I think not, for many of those same reasons:
-        I''m still a biologist who loves science, still worried about misinformation,
-        and still rooted in the power of scientific explanation. I''m still a bardolator
-        and a Red Sox fan. <a href=\"https://sfmatheson.blogspot.com/p/about.html\">I''m
-        still me</a>, and <i>Quintessence of Dust</i> is still my blog. The new <a
-        href=\"https://sfmatheson.blogspot.com/p/about.html\" target=\"_blank\">About
-        page</a> is slightly remodeled from 2017, and hints at the next post, which
-        will outline some new goals and ongoing projects.</div><div><br /></div><div>A
-        final note on inspiration, from Imani Perry, writing in her newsletter (<a
-        href=\"https://newsletters.theatlantic.com/unsettled-territory/\" target=\"_blank\">Unsettled
-        Territory</a>) at <i>The Atlantic</i>. The piece is \"<a href=\"https://newsletters.theatlantic.com/unsettled-territory/63af3facace609003751bacc/becoming-writer-habit-journalism/\"
-        target=\"_blank\">Writing is a Democratic Art</a>.\" It''s for subscribers
-        only but here is her challenge:</div><div><blockquote>Thinking and writing
-        at a faster pace stretched me and gave me greater confidence. Sometimes I
-        changed my mind about what I’d written a day later. But that was okay; a newsletter
-        is a moment in time. Writing it each week gave me a lovely rhythm in what
-        has otherwise been a difficult and disorienting season in history. Feeling
-        stuck can get you stuck. But writing can, and should, inspire deeds.</blockquote></div>","tags":["Introduction"],"language":"en","references":[],"blog_id":"5764g49","blog":{"id":"5764g49","title":"Quintessence
