The Role of Peer Review in the Era of Artificial Intelligence

Abstract

INTRODUCTION Peer review remains the foundation of scholarly publishing, safeguarding scientific rigor, ethical standards, and academic credibility. Due to the rapid emergence of artificial intelligence (AI) in research and manuscript preparation, the peer review process now faces new opportunities and unprecedented challenges. Importantly, peer review also has an educational role. Constructive reviewer feedback helps authors refine their arguments, improve methodological clarity, and strengthen ethical compliance. CONCLUSION Artificial intelligence is reshaping the landscape of scientific publishing, but it does not replace the need for peer review. On the contrary, it amplifies its importance. Peer review remains the essential human safeguard that ensures science is credible, ethical, and socially responsible. As AI continues to evolve, strengthening and adapting the peer review process will be crucial in preserving the integrity of medical research and advancing trustworthy scientific knowledge.
