Generative AI and Scholarly Publishing
Ithaka S+R has conducted several major studies in the past year on the scholarly publishing landscape during a time of rapid technological change. There is no better example of how rapid and radical this pace is than generative AI tools, which have moved from the margins to a focal point of scholarly publishing in little more than one year. The implications for libraries, and for librarians in their support of researchers creating connections and meaning through the usage of emerging…

What Does Generative AI Mean for Scholarly Publishing?
Over the past 24 months, generative AI has become inescapable. As a tool that is capable of generating content, its implications for how scholarly research is conducted and for scholarly publishing and communication are potentially transformative. What is not yet clear is how transformative this impact will be, and which areas of scholarly communication may see more rapid and revolutionary change than others. In a report published today, with funding from STM Solutions and six of its member organizations, we…

A Third Transformation?
Generative AI and Scholarly Publishing
For this report, we interviewed leaders in stakeholder communities about the potential impact of generative AI on scholarly publishing . The consensus among the individuals with whom we spoke is that generative AI will enable efficiency gains across the publication process. Writing, reviewing, editing, and discovery will all become easier and faster. Both scholarly publishing and scientific discovery in turn will likely accelerate. From that shared premise, two distinct categories of change emerged from our interviews. In the first and…

How is Generative AI Being Used in Biomedical Research?
A New Report Shares Findings from a Survey of Academic Researchers
When ChatGPT was released in November 2022, it prompted an ongoing national conversation about the role of generative AI across all sectors of intellectual labor. Within the academy, that conversation has focused primarily on generative AI’s impact on instruction, with relatively little attention being given to its role in scholarly research. The field of biomedical research in particular has provided some of the most promising use cases for generative AI, as well as being a site for potentially significant harm…

Adoption of Generative AI by Academic Biomedical Researchers
Preface Biomedical research has been at the forefront of generative AI-enhanced research. Generative AI’s contributions to drug development and protein design are among the most widely celebrated concrete examples of its transformative potential. Biomedicine has also been at the forefront of developing customized, domain-specific large language models (LLMs). It is also a field in which any accelerating effects enabled by generative AI would have immediate impacts on the health of individuals, and for the same reason, where errors created by generative…

How Are Faculty Using Generative AI in the Classroom?
Findings from a National Survey
Since the commercial release of ChatGPT in 2022, generative AI has had an undeniable impact on higher education, reshaping student learning methods, prompting concerns regarding academic integrity, and sparking larger questions on teaching and learning. It is therefore vital to understand how instructors are currently using (or not using) generative AI in their classrooms to support teaching. To gain insight into how instructional practices are evolving, Ithaka S+R fielded the triennial survey of postsecondary faculty with a focus on…

Generative AI and Postsecondary Instructional Practices
Findings from a National Survey of Instructors
Understanding how instructors are (or are not) using generative AI in their classrooms is vital because most college and university guidelines leave decision making about how, when, and if generative AI use is permitted to the discretion of individual instructors. To gain insight into evolving instructional practices, we included a short four-question section dedicated specifically to generative AI as part of a national survey of instructors.
