CRediT author statement

CRediT (Contributor Roles Taxonomy) was introduced with the intention of recognizing individual author contributions, reducing authorship disputes and facilitating collaboration. The idea came about following a 2012 collaborative workshop led by Harvard University and the Wellcome Trust, with input from researchers, the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors (ICMJE) and publishers, including Elsevier, represented by Cell Press.

CRediT offers authors the opportunity to share an accurate and detailed description of their diverse contributions to the published work.

The corresponding author is responsible for ensuring that the descriptions are accurate and agreed by all authors

The role(s) of all authors should be listed, using the relevant above categories

Authors may have contributed in multiple roles

CRediT in no way changes the journal’s criteria to qualify for authorship

CRediT statements should be provided during the submission process and will appear above the acknowledgment section of the published paper as shown further below.

Is The Use of AI in Manuscript Editing Feasible? Here’s Three Tips to Steer Clear of Potential Issues

• 4 minute read

Table of Contents

Presently, generative artificial intelligence (hereinafter referred to as AI) is quietly influencing almost every industry, including scientific research and academic writing. Some researchers are exploring AI-based editors to refine papers and enhance writing quality. Though AI-based editors can help authors rewrite sentences and catch grammatical errors¹ , it doesn’t mean that complete reliance on AI for academic writing is advisable. Human review remains essential.  

When using AI to assist academic writing, authors must pay close attention to aspects such as contextual analysis, accuracy in expression, cultural sensitivity, and academic ethics; doing this can help avoid many common issues. Now, let’s take a look at 3 key points to keep in mind when using AI-based editors for academic writing!  

Analyzing context and grasping nuances in writing 

Writing an academic paper requires in-depth knowledge of the subject (including recent advances in the field). Editing it also requires this context; without it an editor may change the meaning of what a paper is saying.  

For example, consider this sentence:  

“While the researcher introduced the participants the sample images appeared one by one on the screen.”  

Here, the author could have missed adding some context and punctuation. After editing, this could read:  

“While the researcher introduced the participants to the sample images, the latter appeared one by one on the screen.”  

“ While the researcher introduced the participants, the sample images appeared one by one on the screen.”  

Choosing the option that accurately reflects the writer’s original intention requires native-level English proficiency and robust academic writing experience. An experienced human editor with a clear understanding of nuance and context would be able to do it. However, an AI-based editor may not be trained on such data. Normally, data for training AI is diverse and not subject -specific knowledge. Another consideration is that a well-written manuscript summarizes the findings of a study accurately without overstating or understating them. To meet these expectations, a thorough human review post AI editing is crucial to ensure your complex ideas come across clearly to readers.  

Maintaining the sensitivity of content

AI learns based on big data, mostly generated by humans. However, all of its training data is not screened and therefore, may have biased²⁻³   or inappropriate expressions in content involving gender, race, culture, etc. AI-based editors may inherently mirror these biases. In order to avoid such mistakes, AI-edited work still needs to be carefully reviewed and screened, manually, to avoid misrepresentation in cultural and other aspects.  

Providing disclosure and following strict academic ethics

Recently, accusations of plagiarism have been leveled against AI-powered articles published by some popular news channels⁴ . The problem of plagiarism is even more serious in academia. In rigorous academic writing, caution is more essential when using AI. Novelty is crucial for any manuscript. Manuscripts with unoriginal ideas or language are quickly rejected by most journals⁵ .  However, for the moment, AI-based editors may not catch all instances of plagiarism or copyright infringement in text, posing risks of misleading content or errors.  

Authors must understand that unpublished manuscripts uploaded for AI editing might become part of the data used to further train the AI model. Therefore, thoughtful consideration is crucial before using AI for manuscript revision or translation.  

When using AI in academic writing, authors should fully and accurately disclose its usage, apart from content control. Another reason why humans have to double-check AI-edited manuscripts is that AI cannot take responsibility for errors. Authors are solely responsible for errors made by AI-based editors⁶ . This is also another reason why it is more convenient to work with human editors.  

AI-assisted technology has become more advanced in recent years, offering diverse applications. However, in the context of academic publishing, the usage of AI-based editing still requires careful judgment and review by the author.  

Editing is a fine art. It requires experience and understanding of a subject area and the nuances of academic writing. Professional language editing services can also help you effectively avoid the risks that AI modifications may bring. The Elsevier Language Services editing team, proficient across 100+ disciplines, e nhanc es your manuscript, ensuring it aligns with the standards of top journals. Our excellent work can help increase your chances of publication.  

We also have some exciting news to share with you. The new and improved website of Elsevier Language Services is now online. It comes with a user-friendly interface and a more intuitive content layout. With improved ease of navigation, our website now guarantees researchers the ultimate browsing experience. So, enjoy our professional language services through a world-class online platform!

Progress Toward Gender Equality in Research & Innovation - 2024 Review

Nicolien van der Linden

Elisabeth Browning

Guillaume Roberge

JOIN OUR LIVE WEBINAR

About this video.

The global research community is making progress, albeit slowly, towards the full and equal participation of women.  This webinar presents highlights from a major new data-driven analysis of gender diversity in research.

Building on prior work by Elsevier, this analysis draws on Scopus data stretching back more than two decades to assess the representation of women in research and changes over time, in a global context and for 18 countries. Beyond examining men’s and women’s research participation and research footprint, new insights will be presented on gender participation across career stages, in areas such as interdisciplinarity and multidisciplinarity, open access publication, SDGs, mentorship contribution, and alternative metrics, to paint a fuller picture of the state of gender equity in the global research ecosystem and inform evidence-based policy and interventions. 

You will learn about:

• The benefits of adopting a longer time frame for academic evaluation and assessments;
• The impact of hiring and retaining senior women researchers;
• The importance of including societal impact metrics in evaluations or career assessments, and more.

TALI ROSE WEST

Affordable Editing, Proofreading, and Mentoring

Writer | Editor | Mentor

I have been writing since I was a young child, and my love for beautiful language and good storytelling developed into a desire to help others tell their own stories. Through the variety of editing services and writing coaching that I offer, I am able to come alongside other authors to provide critiques and encouragement on manuscripts at any stage of the writing process. I specialize in literary fiction and children's literature.

Hey y’all, I’m Tali Rose, a writer, editor, and teacher. Since receiving my Master of Fine Arts in Writing from Pacific University, I have proofread novels and nonfiction for Brown Books Publishing Group and Canon Press, worked with individual writers, and served as a reader for Carve Magazine. My work has appeared or is forthcoming in The Saturday Evening Post, Raleigh Review, Litro, Bayou Magazine, The Round, and elsewhere. If I'm not writing, teaching, or editing, you can probably find me out hiking through a forest or climbing a mountain with my husband and pup here in beautiful northern Idaho.

I provide a variety of editing services at affordable rates. Whether you have a novel draft that needs extensive editing, a self-help book that could use a read-through for consistency, or a short story that simply loses steam somewhere in the middle, I provide the editing and encouragement you need to complete a project you're proud of. Not only do I want to help you improve your current manuscript, but to also give you tools and principles you can use in all future projects.

Writing is a solitary pursuit, but that doesn't mean you have to do it all alone. I provide mentoring services where I encourage and coach you through the writing process. In addition to personalized advice about your current project and situation, I will share general writing tips, recommend books, and suggest writing exercises. Whether you've been writing for years or are just starting out, discussing your work with a professional editor and writing coach will help you deepen your understanding of your craft - and maybe even yourself.

DEVELOPMENTAL EDITING

In a developmental edit, I will read through your manuscript with the aim to improve its content and structure. We will discuss plot, pacing, characterization, setting, and narrative voice. I will point out what is working well, and suggest areas that need improvement. Not every book needs this, but if you've felt stuck and uncertain in your work, a developmental edit is a good place to begin. Feel free to contact me to discuss whether or not this is the right service for your book.

LINE EDITING

In a line edit I will consider the creative content, writing style, and language of your manuscript. As the name suggests, I will go through your work line by line, identifying areas you could rewrite for fluidity, clarity, and beauty. I will point out redundancies and cliches, and work with you to find language that is vivid and compelling. This is my favorite type of editing, because I love to get into the nitty-gritty particulars of the wonderful English language. In all my suggestions and critiques, my purpose is always to make you sound more like yourself, and to help your writing be the best it can be.

PROOFREADING

Proofreading is the final stage a manuscript goes through before publication. I will carefully comb through your manuscript for typos, misspellings, grammatical errors, and adherence to the Chicago Manual of Style.

My proofreading services are not confined to authors alone. I am happy to proof any form of writing, such as websites, brochures, newsletters, or even restaurant menus.

TESTIMONIALS

With her encouraging presence and clear comments, Tali has helped develop many of my writing projects, both short stories and novels. Her insightful edits encompass the particular and the big picture. She's able to zoom in on each sentence and improve the writing at the line level while at the same time giving suggestions on the overall arc of a story and its structure.

Goins (2007) Public Domain: Lenin Internet Archive (2003). You may freely copy, distribute, display and perform this work; as well as make derivative and commercial works. Please credit “Marxists Internet Archive” as your source.

Conspectus of Hegel’s book “The Science of Logic” consists of three notebooks, which have a common pagination from 1 to 115. On the cover of the first notebook, in addition to the inscription "Hegel. Logic I," there is the entry: “Notebooks on Philosophy. Hegel, Feuerbach and others.” On the cover of the second notebook, to the pagination 49-88, there is the appendage: NB p. 76 (pp. 192-193 of this volume). At the bottom of page III, there is written: "End of Logic . 17.XII.1914.” The conspectus was probably begun during the first half of September 1914, when Lenin moved from Poronin to Bern, Switzerland. Note that this document has undergone special formating to ensure that Lenin’s sidenotes fit on the page, marking as best as possible where they were located in the original manuscript.
