The field of research is undergoing significant transformations with the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) in various aspects of scholarly communication. A notable direction is the development of frameworks and tools that facilitate the analysis and synthesis of large volumes of research data, enabling more efficient and effective knowledge discovery. Furthermore, there is a growing emphasis on addressing the social and institutional barriers that hinder the equitable distribution of AI benefits in scientific research. Researchers are also exploring innovative approaches to authorship, citation, and research evaluation, recognizing the need for more nuanced and context-dependent metrics that capture the complexities of scholarly contributions. Noteworthy papers in this regard include 'The Architecture of AI Transformation: Four Strategic Patterns and an Emerging Frontier', which proposes a framework for AI strategy and highlights the importance of collaborative intelligence, and 'AI for Scientific Discovery is a Social Problem', which argues that the primary barriers to AI adoption in science are social and institutional rather than technical.
