In the second episode of this four-part series, Harmen van Paradijs, Vice President STM Books Publishing & Books Business Optimization at Springer Nature, discusses communicating with authors on current AI innovations. He details both anecdotal author experiences collected by editors, in addition to researcher workshops hosted by Springer to hear academics to share new ways of working. Next, Harmen explains the current AI trends he’s observed in authors and how Springer responds to and even encourages these changes. For example, the publisher offers AI-generated English language translation for manuscripts to aid authors whose native language isn’t English. Harmen also chats about tools developed by Springer that support the editing process, including a reference checker and an AI detection tool, Geppetto, which Springer donated to the STM Association this year for wider use.
