On Artificial Intelligence and the Transformation of Scientific Publishing
Abstract
This editorial reflects on the incorporation of artificial intelligence into scientific publishing based on the experience of the journal Ingeniería e Investigación. It examines the main tensions arising from the use of AI tools across editorial workflows, including desk review, peer review, language editing, visual production, and metadata and format management. The editorial argues that AI should be understood as a technical support tool under human supervision, aimed at improving efficiency without replacing critical judgment or editorial responsibility. It concludes by emphasizing the need for clear policies, transparency in AI use, and editorial literacy processes to ensure its integration without compromising scientific integrity.
