#AI is transforming academic #research, boosting efficiency while threatening integrity. Existing safeguards may not scale, requiring updated peer review processes, AI disclosure standards, and new quality metrics.

Artificial intelligence is transforming academic research, raising both opportunities and concerns. This column shows how large language models can generate entire research papers, integrating empirical findings with plausible theories. While this boosts efficiency, it also threatens academic integrity, making it harder to distinguish rigourous scholarship from AI-generated content. Existing safeguards may not scale, requiring updated peer review processes, AI disclosure standards, and new quality metrics. The challenge is to ensure that AI enhances knowledge production rather than overwhelming it with quantity over quality.

#Gender gaps remain on journal editorial boards, especially in #finance & economics. In finance, women make up 20% of editors on average. Affiliations are mainly in the UK and US, mirroring academic hierarchies.

Journal editors influence scientific knowledge and research dissemination. But despite work to resolve inequalities and encourage diversity, gender gaps remain on journal editorial boards, especially in finance and economics. This column examines diversity and inclusion on academic editorial boards, focusing on finance journals. Women make up 20% of editors on average, with substantial variance across countries. Editorial affiliations are mainly in the UK and US, mirroring academic hierarchies. Men outweigh women in substructures with central editors or several boards, highlighting the gender disparity in the field.
