Impact of Artificial Intelligence on Materials Research and Journal Publications
Tuesday, September 29, 2026 | 9:10 – 10:30 a.m. | 309AB
Chair: Dr. Elizabeth Hoffman, Savannah River National Laboratory (SRNL) | President, ASM International
Artificial intelligence is rapidly reshaping both how materials research is conducted and how it is published. In this 90-minute moderated panel, editors of ASM journals — joined by a graduate student researcher navigating these tools firsthand — will discuss what they are seeing in submitted manuscripts, the policies and ethical considerations surrounding AI in research, manuscript preparation, and peer review, and the implications for authors, reviewers, and the scientific record moving forward. The session will conclude with open audience Q&A. Whether you are an author, reviewer, or simply watching this transformation unfold, this conversation will offer a candid, practical look at research publishing in the age of AI.
