About the event
King’s College London and Elsevier are delighted to invite you to an exclusive workshop for editors at KCL. The session will provide an opportunity to explore how AI tools can responsibly support researchers and editors in their broader editorial roles, including a demonstration of LeapSpace, Elsevier’s research-grade AI workspace, and discussion of appropriate applications and key considerations under Elsevier’s Gen AI policies.
The workshop will also offer an opportunity to hear more about the work King’s is undertaking to understand research use cases and needs, and how these insights are helping to inform the development of tools, guidance and the research strand of its emerging Digital Framework.
