Sustaining Trust: Advancing Integrity, Innovation, and Collaboration in Scientific Communication

KGL is participating again this year in the Council of Science Editors (CSE) Fall Virtual Symposium, bringing together editors, publishers, societies, institutions, and researchers for forward-looking discussions on the future of scholarly communication.

Across two days, the program will explore some of the most pressing issues facing scholarly publishing today, including the rise of agentic AI, evolving research outputs, research integrity, publishing incentives, and communicating the value of peer review.

Join Hong Zhou: The Era of Agentic AI

Wednesday, November 18 | 11:00 AM–12:30 PM ET

The Era of Agentic AI: Redefining Risk and Responsibility in Scholarly Publishing

Hong Zhou, PhD – Vice President, Product Management & AI Innovation, KGL, will join Sabina Alam, PhD – Vice President, Publishing Ethics & Integrity, Taylor & Francis Group and Maryam Sayab – Executive Director, Communications & Global Engagement, Asian Council of Science Editors for a discussion on how agentic AI is reshaping scholarly publishing workflows.

As AI evolves from tools that assist with individual tasks to systems capable of planning and executing multi-step processes, publishers face new questions around accountability, transparency, authorship, governance, and human oversight.

The session will explore:

• Responsible integration of agentic AI into editorial and publishing workflows
• Governance frameworks and guardrails for AI-enabled processes
• Transparency, disclosure, and auditability
• Where human judgment and responsibility must remain central
• Balancing the efficiencies of automation with research integrity and trust

The discussion will examine how publishers can harness the opportunities presented by agentic AI while ensuring that technology strengthens, rather than compromises, the integrity of the scholarly record.

Catch KGL at the CSE Fall Virtual Symposium and join the conversation about building trusted, responsible, and resilient publishing workflows for an AI-driven future.
