AIP Publishing adds AI review layer to proceedings
AIP Publishing has announced a partnership with Hum to deploy Alchemist Review across AIP Conference Proceedings.
The collaboration aims to strengthen quality control for conference proceedings by introducing an AI-assisted review layer that can identify scientific, integrity, and publication-readiness issues before papers are published.
AIP Conference Proceedings pubishes more than 100,000 articles across more than 1,700 volumes. According to AIP Publishing, the growing volume of proceedings submissions from numerous conferences, organisers, editors, and review processes creates challenges in applying consistent quality and integrity checks.
Under the partnership, Alchemist Review will be integrated into AIP Publishing workflows. The system is intended to surface potential quality and integrity concerns, identify weak or incomplete scientific reasoning, and provide structured editorial intelligence to support faster and more consistent decision-making.
Meredith LeMasurier, Chief Publishing Officer at AIP Publishing, said: “Conference proceedings play a critical role in the dissemination of emerging research, but they also present unique challenges in maintaining consistency and quality at scale. We’re excited to work with Hum to explore how AI can thoughtfully support editorial oversight and help strengthen confidence in the proceedings publication process.”
Hum said the collaboration extends the use of Alchemist Review beyond traditional journal workflows. Dustin Smith, Co-founder and CEO, said: “This collaboration represents an exciting evolution for Alchemist Review and for how publishers can think about scientific quality control outside the traditional journal workflow. As research output continues to accelerate, publishers need new ways to support rigour, consistency, and trust across every stage of scientific communication.”
