In this webinar in partnership with EMBO, the speaker- Bernd Pulverer will explore the publication criteria and policies of EMBO Press journals, emphasising a constructive and efficient approach to improving research with minimal friction for researchers. It will highlight the synergy between peer-reviewed scientific journals, Open Science, and data repositories, focusing on initiatives like ​‘refereed preprints,’ Review Commons’ journal-agnostic review service, and the publication of curated, quality-controlled source data. These efforts aim to accelerate scientific sharing and foster a more constructive research assessment. The discussion will also delve into the integration of data-focused peer review, AI-human quality control, and Open Science platforms, which promote transparency and timely dissemination of research. Additionally, the webinar will examine the impact of AI on the research process, spanning from bench to journal.

The presentation will be followed by a Q/A session.
