Dear all,We are pleased to invite you to the workshop “Do they really guide? Guidelines for the use of LLMs in scholarly publishing” on 📅 Wednesday, 25 March 2026, 🕙 10:00–16:00 (Europe/Berlin) at 📍 GESIS Mannheim (B6 4–5, 68159 Mannheim).

This in-person workshop welcomes representatives from all research communities as well as the publishing houses and other interested parties, such as librarians, tool developers or legal experts. We aim to explore present guidelines on the use of LLMs in publishing, discuss their applicability and soundness, and look into both necessary limits and promising opportunities for a responsible, transparent, and trustful use of LLMs. Having all relevant stakeholders on board ensures a vivid exchange of thoughts from various perspectives.
We are very grateful to welcome Alina Helsloot (Elsevier), Chris Mavergames (Wiley), Henning Schoenenberger (Springer Nature) and Georg Rehm (DFKI) as speakers who will share their experiences and thoughts. The programme will provide ample room for interactions between participants, networking, and we expect fruitful discussions about the current and future handling of LLMs in scholarly publishing.
Your insights and contributions will help advance the conversation between different stakeholders in this rapidly evolving field.
We look forward to welcoming you to an engaging and thought-provoking workshop!

Dear participants of the last LLM-publishing workshop and all those interested in the topic,
Large Language Models (LLMs) continue to heavily influence scholarly publishing. After our 1st workshop on “LLMs and the future of scientific publishing” we identified the lack of uniform guidelines for the use of LLMs in scholarly publishing as one of the key aspects in our discussions.
Therefore, we want to bring this topic forward and invite you to the 2nd edition of our “LLMs and the future of scholarly publishing”-workshop series:
“Do they really guide? Guidelines for the use of LLMs in scholarly publishing”
When? 25.03.2025 (back2back with Editors4Chem meeting in Aachen, 2.5 h by train)
Where? Mannheim (GESIS)
Registration: https://indico3-jsc.fz-juelich.de/event/262/ (no fee)
Open Call: Are you an expert on guidelines for the use of LLMs in scholarly publications? Have you contributed to developing such guidelines for your institution or publishing house? Are you are eager in advancing this topic? We invite you to share your insights, present your guidelines, and/or take an active role in the discussion formats, e.g., as a moderator. If you are interested and/or want to recommend a colleague, please reply to this email.
We aim to explore current guidelines, identify differences and overlaps among them, and discuss their feasibility and reasonableness. Having publishers and authors on board ensures a vivid exchange of thoughts from various perspectives. Ultimately, our goal is to move towards broadly accepted, consistent guidelines that promote confidence and transparency in the use of LLMs in scholarly publishing.
Everyone is explicitly welcome to forward this email to other interested persons!
Looking forward to seeing you soon in Mannheim,
your LLM-publishing orga team
(Julia Armin, Steffen Brinckmann, Auriol Degbelo, Franziska Eberl, Christine Hennig, Bernhard Miller, Nikki Parks, Thorsten Trippel)
