SINGAPORE — I spent an incredibly insightful day at the MDPI Singapore’s Engineering Editors’ Salon, surrounded by a room comprised entirely of the Editorial Board Members, Guest Editors and academic leaders. ⚜️🌟

💡 With the day’s themes centered around responsible AI governance and AI in publishing ✍️, it was a true privilege to delve into these critical conversations alongside established engineering professors from local research ecosystem like from National University of Singapore (NUS) and Nanyang Technological University (NTU).

As generative AI continues to reshape academia, establishing robust governance frameworks is no longer optional. It is a necessity! We had an engaging, multi-faceted discussions/presentations tracking the full lifecycle of AI integration in scientific publishing:

✅ Authorship & Manuscript Writing: Setting clear ethical boundaries for how researchers utilize AI as a collaborative tool without compromising academic integrity or original contribution.

✅ Peer Review Process: Reaffirming that peer review relies on the authentic knowledge and subject-matter expertise of human reviewers; manuscripts must never be uploaded into generative AI tools to strictly preserve author confidentiality and data privacy.

✅ Editorial Decision-Making: Defining the human-in-the-loop safeguards required to ensure AI remains a supportive analytical tool, rather than the final arbitrator of acceptance.

💭 Engaging with Singapore’s leading academic gatekeepers on these pivotal challenges was both humbling and deeply motivating. A huge thank you to the organizers, MDPI Singapore, for creating a space for such timely dialogue, and to the keynote speakers and distinguished professors for sharing their profound insights on how AI impacts scientific publishing. 🤝

📢 Special shoutout to Sensors for ranking in the 91st percentile of the Instrumentation, Physics and Astronomy Category! Another shoutout to the reviewers and editors supporting me across both my Photonics and Sensors editorial roles. #editorship

Looking forward to seeing how these evolving frameworks will safeguard the integrity of open-access publishing across the global scientific community.
