# Peer-review ownership in the AI era

## TL;DR

This paper discusses the need for updated agreements on peer review content ownership in the AI era to maintain fairness and integrity in scientific publishing.

## Contribution

The paper introduces the need for updated community agreements on peer review content reuse rights and compensation mechanisms.

## Key findings

- Current ownership and reuse rights of peer review content are insufficiently defined.
- Updating community agreements could help maintain impartiality in manuscript assessment.

## Abstract

The peer review process is fundamental to scientific validation, yet ownership and permitted uses of the resulting content remain insufficiently defined. To ensure the future integrity and impartiality of manuscript assessment, journals must consider updating community agreements that define the reuse rights of reviewers and establish mechanisms for consent or compensation.
