[The Interplay between Peer Review and the Quality and Reliability of Scientific Publications: Research Innovations].

INTRODUCTION: Maintaining an appropriate scientific standard of manuscripts by editors of journals and books requires a respectable peer review system. Conversely, maintaining a rigorous peer-review process enables the publication of high-quality, reliable scientific work. All of these pose significant challenges for researchers, authors, and editors, particularly in light of the rapid technological developments and the integration of artificial intelligence tools into the scientific environment. Alongside these, there is a growing phenomenon of promoting the publication of fraudulent articles by illegal entities. These processes have encouraged extensive scientific research in these areas in recent years. One of the main platforms for presenting and discussing these topics is the "International Congress on Peer Review and Scientific Publication." In this publication, we will summarize the main research conducted in recent years in these areas, based primarily on the innovative material presented at the congress.
