(28 Aug 2026) For most of the noughties, plagiarism policies rested on three assumptions: that copying was a moral failure rather than a developmental one; that one standard of “acceptable help” could be applied fairly to students with very different resources; and that software could tell us who was guilty. It took a decade of research…
(10 Sep 2026) We have updated our author and editor guidelines on the responsible, appropriate, and transparent use of AI, including a policy outlining what AI use should be disclosed when preparing manuscripts for our journals. In a recent global survey of more than 2,600 researchers, nearly three-quarters (74%) of respondents revealed they were unclear what AI…

(18 Aug 2026) What does it mean to be ready for the AI workplace? While there is enormous collective attention on students’ and workers’ skills with using AI, it is less clear what “AI skills” should encompass.

(26 Aug 2026) USA Today Co. is testing different ways to reformat its website content for an AI bot audience to attract AI content licensing deals. “We recognize that we have to create and format content for humans and for machines.

(25 Aug 2026) Today’s students will graduate into workplaces where using AI is as unremarkable as using spreadsheets. A university that outright prohibits AI is preparing graduates for a world that no longer exists, and, as adoption figures show, prohibition doesn’t work anyway. The meaningful question is whether students know how to use AI…
(12 Aug 2026) As a part of our [Libtech Insight’s] free AI literacy micro-course we recently launched with Clarivate, we asked participants to answer a series of questions about AI implementation at their library. This survey was a part of the first module, “Connecting Libraries to the AI Ecosystem.” The full module also includes an essay…
(13 Aug 2026) This week, Anthropic’s announcement that supported Claude models will mark AI-generated content drew extensive coverage and discussion. Much of that coverage went immediately to cheating. The Telegraph ran the headline “AI cheating to be exposed by watermarks”. TechCrunch focused on Claude users worried about being exposed at work and in class, while…
