Disrupting the “Animal Farm” of scientific research and publishing: AI as an impartial sidekick

Additionally, AI can streamline a more impartial peer-review process by playing the “name game”, i.e. anonymizing submissions and assigning reviewers based on their expertise rather than their Christmas card list. [...]AI can be programmed to detect and flag self-citations and instances of "cit...

Description
Summary:Additionally, AI can streamline a more impartial peer-review process by playing the “name game”, i.e. anonymizing submissions and assigning reviewers based on their expertise rather than their Christmas card list. [...]AI can be programmed to detect and flag self-citations and instances of "citogenesis"; while the previous versions of my software may have had a few too many “Artificial Intelligence Hallucinations” [5], combining different platforms and algorithms of AI can also beef up their performance and precision in dealing with citations and upholding scientific integrity. Ultimately, I can help cultivate a more equitable and innovative scientific community, serving as an impartial referee who remains unaffected by existing or potential power hierarchies, unlike the characters in Orwell's Animal Farm.
