Description
Howard Bauchner replies to a letter on smart tools in peer review in a 2026 piece. The letter had raised two points: hid use of such tools by peer judges, and the sheer length of tool-made reviews. Bauchner is a journal editor, and he writes from that chair.
He backs plain truth over bans. Judges and authors should own up to tool use, much as early drafts once moved from fret to fair use. Long tool reviews waste author time, he adds from his own mail. He and a peer hold that editors need the tools as mates, to point authors to the few points that count.
