A new global reviewer survey from IOP Publishing (IOPP) reveals a growing divide in attitudes among reviewers in the physical sciences regarding the use of generative AI in peer review. . . .
Key Findings:
- 41% of respondents now believe generative AI will have a positive impact on peer review (up 12% from 2024), while 37% see it as negative (up 2%). Only 22% are neutral or unsure—down from 36% last year—indicating growing polarisation in views.
- 32% of researchers have already used AI tools to support them with their reviews.
- 57% would be unhappy if a reviewer used generative AI to write a peer review report on a manuscript they had co-authored and 42% would be unhappy if AI were used to augment a peer review report.
- 42% believe they could accurately detect an AI-written peer review report on a manuscript they had co-authored.
