The Future of Scientific Publishing: Trust, Transparency and Turbulence

Diabetes Insights - Breakthroughs and Innovators

Show Notes

In this episode, we explore the rapidly evolving world of scientific publishing and the challenges facing researchers today, featuring insights from Diabetologia Editor in Chief Prof. Hindrik Mulder, Maria Hodges, Past EASD Early Career Member Pierre Larraufie and Annette Schürmann.

From the rise of predatory journals and paper mills to the growing influence of artificial intelligence, the landscape is becoming increasingly complex.

Our experts discuss how open access has reshaped publishing, why peer review remains essential, and the pressures placed on early career researchers navigating where and how to publish. They also explore the limitations of impact factors, the risks of fraudulent data, and the urgent need for new ways to evaluate scientific contribution.

Join us for a timely conversation on how the research community can safeguard quality, transparency, and trust in science and what the future of publishing might look like.

In this EASD TV interview, Prof. Zachary Gerhart-Hines (Novo Nordisk Foundation Center for Basic Metabolic Research), 61st EASD Minkowski Prize recipient, discusses research into the neurokinin-2 receptor (NK2R) and its potential to change how we approach weight management and metabolic health. Where many existing treatments focus on reducing food intake, NK2R activation could offer a complementary strategy by increasing energy expenditure, influencing appetite and improving insulin sensitivity.
