Benefits & outcomes

Notes & quotes
"We know how important it is to communicate your research clearly and effectively to both your peers and the broader public, but it can be tedious and time-intensive to create concise and impactful texts for different audiences." — Springer Nature
"I find it ridiculous. It's jumping on the AI bandwagon, where we throw AI at about anything, useful or not… I didn't think there was anything left for publishers to monetize." — Simon Hammann, food chemist, University of Hohenheim
