The following information was covered in the Members’ discussion:
- Strategies to maintain a wide reviewer database while identifying and prioritizing experts who consistently provide high-quality reports;
- The impact of AI on reviewing; members emphasized the need for clear communication of AI policies to reviewers to maintain manuscript confidentiality and ensure that reports critically assess data rather than just sentence structure;
