The future we build could depend on research we don’t read. Basil Mahfouz's work highlights a striking gap: roughly two-thirds of science flagged as highly relevant to policy is never cited. Not because it is weak, but because it is invisible. As AI changes how evidence is discovered and used, the question is not only whether it can summarize research. It is whether it can help widen the field of view. Read more: http://spkl.io/60487D6BO
Elsevier has launched an Ebola Information Center to support the global response to the Bundibugyo virus outbreak in the Democratic Republic of Congo and Uganda. The center provides healthcare professionals, researchers, policymakers and the public with free access to clinical guidance, peer-reviewed research, early-stage findings, datasets and AI-assisted research tools. Resources include the Ebola Healthcare Hub, ScienceDirect research content, The Lancet and Cell Press Ebola collections, the SSRN Ebola Hub, Mendeley Data, and access to LeapSpace, with new content added as evidence emerges.

Modern medicine can shift the gut microbiome within months. New research in Elsevier's Cell Reports by Cell Press found that after only limited medical contact, the gut microbiota of remote Amazonian Indigenous communities began shifting toward patterns more common in industrialized populations, even without major diet or lifestyle change. Over four months, microbial diversity declined, fiber-associated bacteria decreased, and genes linked to antimicrobial resistance became more common. The strongest shifts were seen in children.

Some of the most valuable chemistry is not written in text. It lives in figures and schemes. AI-based extraction is starting to interpret chemical structures and reaction pathways directly from images, bringing that hidden information into the searchable evidence base. AI handles extraction. Expert chemists review results. Speed improves. Scientific integrity stays intact. Read more: https://bit.ly/43r7diK
We recently shared a poster at the World Conference on Research Integrity in Vancouver, showcasing how adult learning principles are helping us engender important policies in our publishing processes. This approach is yielding high engagement and helps us meet the integrity challenges facing academic publishing today. Read more: https://bit.ly/4uE5fHY
