Dear Santa, This Christmas, we are wishing for research that truly reaches its intended audiences. When valuable findings remain inaccessible due to language, format or communication barriers, the impact of research is limited. Yours truly, Publishers #ResearchCommunication #Christmas2025

Dear Santa, As AI becomes more deeply embedded in publishing workflows, our wish is for thoughtful adoption. The industry needs tools that support editorial judgment and strengthen trust instead of creating new risks Yours truly, The publishing community #ResponsibleAI #christmas2025

Dear Santa, This season, publishers are reflecting on the growing strain placed on peer review. Reviewer scarcity, uneven response rates, and prolonged turnaround times are no longer occasional challenges but structural issues. Yours truly, Editorial teams

Dear Santa, As Christmas approaches, we are wishing for research integrity that is protected from the very start of the editorial process. Publishers can no longer rely on late stage checks alone to safeguard trust in research. Yours truly, Publishers
