For a change in the peer-reveiwing as an urgent need?
With an increasing number of Journal and other publication, the review by peer started to be difficult and very often nonqualified reviewers are solicited. Very often now the Journal send us a list that ressemble the directory a. This is a problem since many of the persons listed here do not have even a record over 10 and there are supposed to review works they don't know, and they are not qualified. I would like to start a huge discussion that can be sent to the main Journal to change the...

Do you think general physicians or medical doctors might be redundant when AGI is fully developed?
This is a burning topic in medical or clinicians' circles globally as it might have the potential to shake up the medical profession due to the concerted efforts by AI enthusiasts by questioning the relevance of the doctors e.g. general physicians if not all (e.g. medial surgeons or specialists). This may be a challenge for the future healthcare planners and might need a thorough debate. The following reference might give a glimpse and assist while answering for my ping question.

What is the most important part of a scientific article? Let's approach this seriously! Part 2
I have read all the responses to my question, and I find that, except for one, they are largely absurd. There is talk of methodology and results, but as the famous saying goes, “There are lies, big lies, and statistics.” Many articles submitted for publication manipulate data that is either highly misleading or not original at all. I’m unsure if this will be approved on Scipion. What is the most important part of a scientific article? Let’s approach this seriously! I am not at all surprised...

How do you justify (or would you justify) a new research study to ensure it doesn’t unnecessarily duplicate previous work or repeat past methodological mistakes?
I’m currently working on a PhD thesis focused on Evidence-Based Research (EBR), particularly on how researchers use (or fail to use) prior evidence (similar studies), to justify and design new research. I’d love to hear real-world experiences, whether from preparing research proposals or evaluating them. Do you use any structured or unstructured method to be aware of all relevant prior research? How do you support your judgments (e.g., demonstrating that no prior studies exist, or that...

How might AI-assisted peer review tools reshape scientific publishing, and what safeguards should be implemented to maintain review quality while addressing the increasing volume of submissions?
The peer-reviewing process is being faced with ever-growing challenges as submission rates are still rising exponentially in all areas. Journal editors are faced with the challenge of getting capable reviewers who are ready to volunteer their time, with a result being delays in reviewing, reviewer exhaustion, and worse, compromised quality. Meanwhile, AI technologies are accelerating their ability to review scientific manuscripts for methodology, statistical fitting, plagiarism screenings,...

What is the most important part of a scientific article? Let's approach this seriously!
I read a question asking what is the most important part of a scientific article. As far as I can see, we have all gone crazy. The most significant part of a scientific article is… simply ALL OF IT. By the way, nobody has commented on the REFERENCES. Or is a copy-paste enough?

What is a Ping?
A Ping is a single science-based question. The question comes from a fellow SciPinion Expert who is seeking input from the expert community. All participation in this service (i.e. asking or answering questions) is voluntary and anonymous if you prefer.
Can I post a Ping?
Yes, all SciPinion Experts are able to ask questions for the expert community to answer, provided you have Ping Credits. All Experts start with 3 Ping Credits (i.e., can ask 3 questions), and have the opportunity to earn more (e.g., by answering Pings from other experts, applying to panel opportunities).
Can I sponsor a Paid Ping?
