Large Language Models and the future of scientific publishing

This workshop will bring together researchers and publishers to identify and address the upcoming challenges for the journals as well as the increased demands on the reviewers and the wider research community. Furthermore, the workshop will identify possible chances enabled by incorporating LLM technologies within the writing and publishing process and open the path for future discussions on this topic. Thereby, we accelerate the exchange and harmonization of user journeys for the future of scholarly publication.

More information is Here. Registration is still possible, but places are limited to 100 participants!
