Building confidence in research in the age of AI

About

What’s really on the minds of researchers today, and what does it mean for the future of research? Elsevier’s new Confidence in research: Researcher of the future report is here, offering a rare window into what researchers are thinking, worrying about, and planning next.

Be among the first to explore mission critical insights from over 3,200 researchers across 113 countries, revealing how today’s choices will shape careers, institutions and the research landscape at large.

This webinar offers a birds-eye view of the latest Confidence in Research results, pulling out key findings to reveal how researchers see AI redefining scientific discovery. We’ll also examine the report’s headlines through a regional lens to unpack the differences in how researchers use and perceive AI in Europe, North America and Asia-Pacific.

Our speakers will share evidence‑based insights from the new report on:

The widening gap between AI adoption and oversight as researcher use of new tools outpaces institutional governance
The evolving role of human judgment in a research landscape enabled by AI
How longstanding mechanisms for upholding research integrity and confidence in research stand up to new technology

You’ll hear from Adrian Mulligan (Research Director, Elsevier) and active researchers Paula Littlejohn (Fraser Health Authority) and Susan Margulies (Georgia Institute of Technology) as they unpack the global report together, focusing on what researchers think about AI and research integrity today, and tomorrow.

Along with moderator, Ann Gabriel, (SVP Global Research Networks, Elsevier) they’ll explore what these developments really mean for researchers, librarians, and academic leaders in a world where technology and trust are more interconnected than ever.

Ann holds B.A. / M.A. degrees in Communications from the University of Pennsylvania.

Paula Littlejohn

Lead, Clinical Research, Fraser Health Authority

Dr. Littlejohn earned her Ph.D. in Microbiology and Immunology from the University of British Columbia (UBC), where she investigated how early-life micronutrient deficiencies shape the gut microbiome, resistome, and host metabolism. She then completed her Postdoctoral Fellowship at UBC and the BC Children’s Hospital Research Institute. Her postdoctoral research explored how nutritional deficiencies impair intestinal epithelial cell function and mucosal healing in pediatric inflammatory bowel disease, using in vivo and in vitro models.

Dr. Littlejohn’s career spans both academic and industry settings, including a decade in the pharmaceutical sector. She is the recipient of multiple honors, including two Postdoctoral Research Fellowship Awards, and was selected for the prestigious Falling Walls Female Science Talents Intensive Track in 2024, a global recognition awarded to only 20 exceptional female scientists annually.
