Troubles Facing Journal Editorial Desks

As of 2023, the tier of published retractions due to errors or fraud soared past 42,000. While most editorial teams grapple with:

Overwhelming workloads - With each manuscript demanding meticulous evaluation, shrinking schedules leave editors juggling tasks, leading to extended publication timelines.
Skyrocketing expenses - Manual checks for research integrity, technical compliance, and language quality consume valuable time and resources, consequently hiking up the overall journal operation costs.
AI-reality dilemmas - The amplified use of AI tools in academia spawns disputes over authenticity. Furthermore, the rapid proliferation of paper mills and dubious practices to elude AI detection force editorial desks to up their game in maintaining research integrity.
Slipping through the cracks - Despite best efforts, some questionable manuscripts may manage to dodge detection, only to be retracted later, tarnishing journal reputations.
