Bernd Pulverer is chief editor of the bioscience journal EMBO Reports and head of scientific publishing at EMBO, the European Molecular Biology Organization. He studied in Cambridge, UK and obtained a Ph.D. on mitogenic signal transduction in 1994 in London, followed by postdocs in Toronto, Seattle and Innsbruck. Bernd was senior editor at Nature from 1999 and chief editor at Nature Cell Biology before joining EMBO as chief editor of The EMBO Journal.
In his webinar, Bernd will describe how EMBO Press screens manuscript before publication for data quality and integrity by combining editorial and data forensic expertise. He will describe the structured process EMBO developed to ensure effective cooperation with researchers on the one hand and research institutions as well as other journals on the other to arrive at informed, fair and consistent decisions. Bernd will give examples how EMBO employs AI-based technology for editorial processes, but also how weaponization of AI-powered tools necessitates new mechanisms for integrity detection and evidence of provenance, leading to the conclusion that transparency, open science and human-based cooperation will become even more important in quality assurance in the future. He will conclude that academic research has always been built on trust and that we require responsible research assessment reform to mitigate corrupting pressures on publishing.
