| Abstract | The rise of artificial intelligence (AI) presents a transformative, yet complex, landscape for open research and academic publishing. While offering significant opportunities to enhance efficiency, accessibility, and discoverability, AI also introduces a series of challenges concerning research integrity, economic models, and ethical considerations. The intricate relationship between AI and open research is a "double-edged sword" (Lo, 2025), necessitating careful navigation to harness AI's benefits while mitigating its risks. |
