From the #LBF floor to the @sagepub.com office floorplan. Grateful to the Sage team in London for the warm welcome while we're in town! Always energizing to sit down with brilliant minds and dig into where AI is taking the future of peer review.

Richard Bennett: Scholar, gentleman... laptop stand? If you spot Richard and Dustin at #LondonBookfair this week, say hi! 👋 #LBF

30 minutes per paper on submissions that aren't the right fit? No, thanks! 🙅 Alchemist Review is now integrated directly into ScholarOne Manuscripts. Partnering editors get signals on journal fit, integrity issues, & quality flags... /@silverchairnews.bsky.social blog.hum.works/posts/silver...

Great talk on using scenario planning to think about AI strategies from Keith Webster @library.cmu.edu , and a thought provoking thought to end on: the present moment used to be an unimagined future. #R2RConf

Say hi to Richard if you spot him at Researcher 2 Reader in London today. Humming to you live from a room where the cornices are more structured than most metadata. #R2Rconf

Discovery is moving off your platform. Traditional metrics aren't capturing usage. Infrastructure is buckling under machine-scale traffic. All at once Our analysis from the 2026 Tech Trends Report explains what's breaking & how publishers are adapting: blog.hum.works/posts/challe...

The next phase of digital advertising won’t be fought on the search results page alone. It’s shaping up inside AI chat interfaces and predictive commerce engines. martech.org/openai-and-g...

Manuscript overload is costing your editors serious time. Alchemist Review changes that. Instant journal fit scoring, deep manuscript eval, & citation checks give editors the intelligence they need to quickly and confidently triage submissions. www.hum.works/review

If AI systems extract and redistribute your insights without sending users to your site, how do you capture the value you create?

"A user may want a brief summary listing the 5 most important things to know in the morning, but then later in the day they might want deeper info about a breaking news story. The website experience could be flexible enough to reflect what the user wants in that moment" // @digidaymedia.bsky.social

Roll for initiative. @iflscience.com 🎲🧙🏻‍♂

The "Crocodile Effect" is eating publisher traffic alive 🐊 Interesting new study from Kudos, @degruyterbrill.bsky.social , @emeraldpublishing.bsky.social, @ioppublishing.bsky.social , @springernature.com & @silverchairnews.bsky.social launching to tackle zero-click search threats.

"If you're just tacking AI onto your systems without data, you're essentially doing some very expensive guessing." 💸 Hum's Director of Marketing breaks down why AI-ready data will be a competitive differentiator in 2026. 5 Years of Tech Trends: www.silverchair.com/news/five-ye...

"As the broader internet becomes increasingly polluted with AI-generated slop, your authenticated, peer-reviewed content becomes more valuable, not less." But the ability to actually monetize it takes strategy and structure: blog.hum.works/posts/where-...

"You can come up with a new model, but the principles are still there and the people are still there." @silverchairnews.bsky.social' Sam Green explains why scholarly publishing is more adaptable than ever 💪 5 Years of Tech Trends: www.silverchair.com/news/five-ye...

Alchemist Review Launches Journal Fit Feature to Accelerate Triage

We’re excited to share that @ioppublishing.bsky.social is expanding Alchemist Review across most of its proprietary journal portfolio, continuing a collaboration focused on solving real editorial challenges.

What if your editors could identify strong-fit manuscripts in seconds? At @stmassoc.bsky.social Innovation Day this week, we showed how Journal Fit scores manuscripts across novelty, scope, rigor & impact - helping editors spot high potential papers and misaligned submissions instantly. #STMLondon

📣 Journal Fit is here! Instant manuscript fit scores so editors spend more time on high potential papers & less on ones that are off-scope. Every submission gets scored across Novelty, Scope Relevance, Rigor & Impact. Demo @ STM London next week! blog.hum.works/posts/alchem...

Most publishers guess what resonates with authors. Karger's team used behavioral data to know—then optimized relentlessly. The result? 4.5X ROI, 3X higher CTRs, and 1,100+ manuscript submissions directly influenced. Case study: blog.hum.works/posts/karger...

@kargerpublishers.bsky.social is proving that author marketing isn't just "nice to have." It's a revenue driver. The secret? AI-driven campaigns that met researchers at the right moment w the right message.

The options range from "do nothing” to “add options to opt out of just AI Overviews”…

AI built on bad metadata is just expensive chaos. Taxonomy is either your secret weapon or your Achilles heel in 2026...

"Peer Review: Human Judgment with AI Speed!" ... And we're always saying that! @scholarlykitchen.bsky.social Alchemist Review is dropping some exciting new features to help editors make smart decisions, faster in December. Stay tuned! scholarlykitchen.sspnet.org/2025/11/20/r...

CLUTCH is now using Alchemist Engage to power smarter audience intelligence for their clients 🚀 blog.hum.works/posts/clutch...

Taxonomy is the foundation that makes everything else possible: Better search, smarter engagement, and the intelligence that fuels your editors and marketers to make confident decisions. blog.hum.works/posts/are-yo...

"No publisher will survive five years from today if they don't have data. I don't care how well you edit and publish books. If you don't have data, you will make wrong decisions."

Everyone is racing to add flashy AI to their publishing stack. But if you skipped the foundation work, you're building your house on sand. Taxonomy isn't sexy, but it powers your shinier AI features and makes them most effective.

If your research can't be found, parsed, and synthesized by the tools researchers actually use, it’s virtually invisible. Here's what it means to be answer ready: blog.hum.works/posts/when-c...

Speed vs. quality in reviewer selection? We believe editors shouldn't have to choose. We're excited to announce that Hum is working with Signals to deliver fast, accurate, and trustworthy reviewer recommendations.

AI is stepping in to help publishers tackle the surge in fraudulent scientific papers. From spotting fake authors to detecting AI-generated text, automated tools are reshaping how journals protect research integrity. But is tech enough to fix a broken system?

Readers don't browse anymore. They interrogate. "What's the latest guidance?" "Which methodology should I use?" "How does this affect my work?" If your content isn't answer-ready, it's invisible—to AI systems & to readers. What scholarly publishers need to know → blog.hum.works/posts/when-c...

Biology has always been about connections. Now, the content is, too. Using Alchemist Engage, @biologists.bsky.social is turning 100+ years of biology research into personalized discovery experiences for scientists worldwide. See how AI is deepening their impact: blog.hum.works/posts/the-co...

The Company of Biologists Selects Hum’s Alchemist Engage for AI-Driven Engagement

Taking a well-earned break from the @buchmesse.de bustle with our friends from Grounded AI and Clarivate. Here's to innovation, collaboration, and good company! 🍺 Prost!

Richard and Dustin's AI stunt doubles are warming up at the biergarten. (Their real versions will be at STM/Frankfurt Bookfair today-Thursday talking actual business. Come say hallo! 🍺) @stmassoc.bsky.social / @buchmesse.de

Science diplomacy and schnitzel? These are a few of our favorite things... We're sending Dustin to STM Frankfurt next week. If you'll be there too – let's connect! @stmassoc.bsky.social / #STMinFrankfurt

"The research community doesn’t necessarily want ‘peer review’ — it wants quality assurance, fraud detection, constructive feedback, ethical oversight, and credible validation." @innovationideas.bsky.social / @scholarlykitchen.bsky.social

Every year, more reviewers are saying no. The ones who say yes are getting overwhelmed. And the submissions keep climbing... blog.hum.works/posts/ai-to-...
