et al.

Abstract: The Harbingers study of early career researchers (ECRs) and their work life and scholarly communications began by studying generational—Millennial—change (H‐1), then moved to pandemic change (H‐2) and is now investigating another change agent—artificial intelligence (AI). This paper from the study constitutes a deep dive into the peer review attitudes and practices of 91 international ECRs from all disciplines. Depth interviews were the main means by which data was collected, and questions covered ECRs as revi… Show more

“…Yet empirical scholarship concerning scientists' use of AI in the peer review process remains scarce (Calamur & Ghosh, 2024;Checco et al, 2021;Farber, 2024;Giray, 2024;Mrowinski et al, 2017;Nicholas et al, 2025;Zou, 2024). Anecdote, editorializing, and speculation predominate (Bauchner & Rivara, 2024;Conroy, 2023;Drozdz & Ladomery, 2024;Garcia, 2024;Heaven, 2018;Hosseini & Horbach, 2023;Kankanhalli, 2024;Kousha & Thelwall, 2024;Nath et al, 2024;Seghier, 2025;Wiechert et al, 2024).…”

“…But GenAI offers opportunities as well. Notably, Nicholas et al (2025) found that of the 91 international early career researchers from all disciplines they interviewed, nearly half (49%) predicted AI would have a positive overall impact on the peer review process. Other scholars mention specific payoffs of GenAI use.…”

“…They underscore GenAI's utility for initial and final editorial tasks, reviewers' grammar and style, their objectivity, and their rigor and validity. First, AI may assist with initial submission screening, e.g., juxtaposing a submission with a journal's scope, with checking manuscript compliance with submission guidelines, with administrative tasks (such as plagiarism checking), and with reviewer selection and matching (Bauchner & Rivara, 2024;Calamur & Ghosh, 2024;Checco et al, 2021;Drozdz & Ladomery, 2024;Farber, 2024;Giray, 2024;Hosseini & Horbach, 2023;Kankanhalli, 2024;Kousha & Thelwall, 2016;Mrowinski et al, 2017;Nicholas et al, 2025;Seghier, 2025;Wiechert et al, 2024;Zou, 2024). At the other end of the process, AI may help aggregate multiple individual reviews or write constructive final decision letters (Giray, 2024;Hosseini & Horbach, 2023;Kankanhalli, 2024;Seghier, 2025).…”

Exaggerated anticipatory anxiety is common in social anxiety disorder (SAD). Neuroimaging studies have revealed altered neural activity in response to social stimuli in SAD, but fewer studies have examined neural activity during anticipation of feared social stimuli in SAD. The current study examined the time course and magnitude of activity in threat processing brain regions during speech anticipation in socially anxious individuals and healthy controls (HC). Method Participants (SAD n = 58; HC n = 16) underwent functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) during which they completed a 90s control anticipation task and 90s speech anticipation task.
