Of course, the advent of technology in ICT precisely AI such as ChatGPT and others have made Literature Reviews much more easy and faster for young researchers that would have been stranded in their write ups; the internet per se is a ground breaker connecting world renowned libraries and publications or journals into open access.
The norm of don't "publish" and "perish" is loosing tension gradually by the aid of ICT supports. Yesterday, researchers will take months to publish a journal and equally travel from one library to the other collecting data for marching Literature Review: today you have the library in your room, you can selectively access data for your Thesis or dissertation.
The AI's enablers are doing a great streamlining supply of data if the researcher thinks smartly and guides AI appropriately then it will reduces timing and dredgery.

Thank you for this extremely insightful post — I fully agree with Professor Jamil’s observations on the growing importance of connectivity and speed in shaping the future of publications. These shifts are indeed accelerating the transformation of our field in an unprecedented rate.
I would also add support to the fact that, while AI will certainly reduce friction and increase efficiency, human oversight and mentoring remain essential at this stage. Ensuring quality, ethical integrity, and nuanced judgment still depends on human involvement — particularly in scientific and medical publishing.
We are undoubtedly entering an exciting era of innovation and exponential change. It was a pleasure to read Professor Jamil’s reflections — they are both timely and profoundly valuable as we navigate the uncertainties ahead. The future is bright, even if the path forward may be complex and nonlinear — as is often the case with meaningful progress.

Thanks for elegant articled presented by Dr. Kaiser Jamil. AI has became challenging instrument in every sector of the economy. since it is a matching leaning that can retrieved information from what has already said whether legit or not in literature and scripts, precaution is required in using and trusting this instrument since it has incompatible nature with human mind thinking. the more inclination to apply in research to AI based research can have negative consequences in misleading the scientific society and policy makers.
As my person, AI can be applied to trace back prior art related to the article in order to have original findings and article which can lead the author to have publishable and applicable research.

21 July, 2025The article is fantastic, Dr. Kaiser. Obviously, you can see through the minds of researchers, especially early-career ones. Very often, many of them just want to get their papers published, so that they can graduate on time or get promoted. In some cases, they do not care about the journals they select, as those may be predatory or of low quality. In my opinion, one of the main reasons is that researchers may not trust their own paper quality. To address these pitfalls, you mention the use of ChatGPT as our collaborator, and I really like this idea. We should use it wisely to save time, not to depend solely on it without critical thinking. Once again, thank you for this writing, and I am very pleased to read more articles from you.

This is a highly timely and relevant article Dr.jamil.
In the age of artificial intelligence, the pressure stemming from the ‘publish or perish’ culture has intensified: on one hand, universities increasingly rely on quantitative metrics for rapid research evaluation, and on the other hand, there is a growing need for ethical oversight in the use of AI for scientific writing.
To foster a healthier research culture, I suggest that clear frameworks be established to ensure transparency in the use of AI in writing and data analysis.
Collaboration among researchers, universities, journals, and publishers is essential to reform this structure. In my view, a key step toward achieving balance is the implementation of comprehensive and multi-dimensional evaluation systems.

21 July, 2025In some countries, the most important thing is the quantity of publication, not the quality. They also determine the journals in which you should publish. If you publish research in Scopus within the second quarter, it appears that some influential people in this country cannot publish in this journal, and therefore, publishing in this journal is prohibited. All your research and the money paid go to waste. They also determine a very small percentage in relying on artificial intelligence, and there is no funding for this research and reliance on the professor’s salary. Likewise, any evaluation of research, master’s theses, or doctoral dissertations does not have any financial compensation.

21 July, 2025Thank you dear Dr. Kaiser Jamil very sincerely, for this heart-rendering piece of right up, allaying fears that AI could eventually take over, as us of the older generation have been intrigued. Thank you again for going into details covering a gamut of aspects, in a short presentation like this. It leaves us with the hope that real scientists will have a facilitated and fascinated future in their thirst for research and publications, as aided abetted by the AI, which is avowed to take care of all the nitty-gritties, to make them somewhat fast track, and of quality, for the betterment of scientific research and publishing. All the best!

21 July, 2025Academic Institutions should look at other lasting legacies ,like: impact on the society, and mentorship of younger ones as criteria for the promotion of academics instead of putting too much attention on academic publications . We are loosing focus.

21 July, 2025This article by Dr. Kaiser Jamil is an excellent analysis of expressions that AI and GPT will diminish the quality of publications, resulting in a flood of published papers, especially by young and less experienced researchers. The evaluation is quite interesting, logical, and fair. In my view, there are not so many chances of degradation because journals have started devising policies and revising their standards. Thus, slowly and gradually, probable losses will be overcome and things will revert to good conditions. The new applications might develop to include a check. However, the young ones will be learning fastly, enjoying the assistance of new developments. A prompt and appropriate development process of the current era is an answer to all needs, standards, risks, and evaluations.

Thank you for sharing a thoughtful article.
She is quite right that AI is becoming the partner of our lives. With all due respect, this piece of article itself is a significant proof that how helpful AI can be in generating our ideas into the shapes of articles.

22 July, 2025Thanks Dr. Jamil for insightful share. This article emphasizes the potential of AI-driven tools to change the academic publishing landscape, enhancing its accessibility and inclusiveness. By utilizing AI, researchers can optimize their writing efforts, break down language barriers, and concentrate on producing high-quality research. Nonetheless, the piece points out that the entrenched “publish or perish” mentality continues, resulting in mental health challenges, dubious research practices, and a focus on quantity rather than quality. To tackle these issues, the academic community is moving towards more comprehensive evaluation metrics, which place importance on transparency, reproducibility, and impact. In the end, the article proposes that AI can foster a more dynamic and resilient scientific ecosystem, motivated by human curiosity and insight.

22 July, 2025Thanks to Dr Kaiser Jamail for her very eloborative analysis of research at institute level. The confusion for this is due research done at various levels from institutes-from colleges to universities to big research institues working on different mandates already assigned to do their work.Every body has their own priorities and quick to publish to pushup their national to individual rankings to aquire positions.Leaving aside mandate and collaborations back bench,both faculty in universities and students doing PhD for degrees have ambitions to do high class work but don't have infrastructure and financial support to do so.Entire work thereby doing by cut and paste with language editor and online free statistical toos to get their degrees . Meanwhile the private institutes emerged with labs showing output and ahead of government institutes.Mushrooming journals and their rankings is another mischievous thing and perplexing scientists working in national institute and also difficult to evaluate quality of research articles.mandates of research institute diluted and academic careers chosen priority for rankings made research a sick and headache to all of us.no work but full of publications. There is a fund crunch but how this many publications are coming up that too lack of adequate faculty. Questions are many and made research as mess. No clarity to planners how to run institutes meant for research -a challenge for future.

23 July, 2025Thank you Dr. Jamil for your insightful share. The tension between quality and quantity has always been there, but the role of AI in reducing the friction of publishing is often misunderstood. Glad this piece reframes ChatGPT not as a shortcut, but as support. The real conversation now needs to focus on mental health, ethics, and redefining academic value beyond just numbers.

AI tools like ChatGPT are transforming academic publishing—making it faster and more inclusive. But this shift also raises ethical and mental health concerns in the race to publish.
Dr. Kaiser Jamil calls for redefining success in research by impact, not just output.
PROF. DR. KHALID MAHMOOD KHAWAR
24 July, 2025The democratization of publishing, driven by AI-powered tools like OpenAI's ChatGPT, is transforming research success, enabling beginners to publish at a fast pace previously only accessible to seasoned researchers. This shift benefits beginners in with limited academic support. However, this raises questions about maintaining academic rigor and the role of peer review. The pressure of "publish or perish" is eroding gradually and becoming more inclusive, promoting diversity, collaboration, and developing innovative research atmospheres, leading to positive impacts on mental health with realigning of academic values and promoting integrity and inclusivity. It is expected that this will evolve approaches to realign academic values and promote integrity.

21 July, 2025This is inisghtful piece from Dr. Jamil's blog post. What I find particularly compelling is how it not only highlights AI's amazing potential to make publishing more accessible for everyone—acting like a helpful 'collaborator' to smooth out the 'friction' for researchers, especially those who've been underrepresented—but also gives us a clear call to action.
