Beyond the Hype – How AI enhances scholarly publishing
In this Masterclass, Stephanie Preuß, Director of Content Innovation at Springer Nature, and Janina Krieger, Senior Manager Books Publishing Solutions at Springer Nature, explore how generative AI can help make science faster, more accessible, and more trustworthy—key factors in addressing global challenges as climate change, social inequality or pandemics. Drawing on real-world examples from one of the world’s leading academic publishers, they illustrate how AI is already transforming how we search, read, and write scientific content. The session highlights both the opportunities and limitations of AI, emphasizing the importance of human oversight, transparency, and scientific integrity. Participants will gain insights into how Springer Nature is further developing content types such as the research article and the academic book, exploring new content formats, and creating AI-assisted tools that support researchers throughout the publishing process.
