Comment on Scientists reportedly hiding AI text prompts in academic papers to receive positive peer reviews

It’s a requirement of publication. This isn’t like a book review.

No it’s not. I have both published in a variety of scientific journals, reviewed for a couple journals, and turned down reviews for a couple journals.
No journal checks your “review history” before allowing you to publish. However, if you consistently turn down reviews from a journal, the editor is likely going to get annoyed and you will probably have a harder time publishing in that journal in the future.

It differs per community. Some of the more hype-y conferences I’ve submitted to require at least one co-author to review other papers as a condition to submission. I’ve not seen this at less hyped conferences or journals yet, though. But different communities tend to do things very differently, so many people will have different experiences.

Good point, I’ll moderate myself and just state that I’ve never experienced it being a hard requirement in my field.
