Latent Scholar is a multidisciplinary, open-access journal where human expertise and AI-assisted research work in concert. We document, review, and openly share AI-generated scholarly articles so that researchers, institutions, and the public can understand, evaluate responsibly use AI in knowledge creation.
What We Do
- Prompt-based submissions: Contributors propose a research question, a brief, or a problem statement.
- Transparent generation: Our editors run the prompt using specified AI models under documented settings (model/version, parameters, and protocol).
- Open expert review: Subject-matter experts—often including the prompt contributor—publish evaluations and commentary alongside each article.
- Public record: We publish the prompt, the AI-generated article, and the reviews together to create a durable, citable reference for comparison, audit, teaching, and further study.
Why it matters
Distinguishing between human- and AI-generated work is increasingly difficult. Latent Scholar provides a trusted venue and reference corpus to examine AI’s strengths and limits—supporting due diligence for sensitive contexts such as theses, dissertations, and grant proposals, and enabling fair, evidence-based conversations about AI’s role in research.
Our scope
We welcome prompt-based projects across engineering and technology, natural and life sciences, social sciences, humanities, and the arts. The common thread is methodological clarity, transparency of AI use, and value to scholarly discourse.
Our commitments
- Rigor & transparency: Every article carries an AI-generated label, a methods note on model/protocol, and clear disclosures of any human interventions beyond formatting.
- Responsible use: We screen for legal, ethical, and policy compliance (e.g., IRB/ethics approvals when applicable, privacy and data rights, and non-defamatory, non-infringing content).
- Constructive dialogue: Reviews are written to illuminate accuracy, limitations, and avenues for improvement—not simply to judge.
