This paper investigates the impact of AI-augmented peer review systems on scientific productivity across OECD countries. They construct an AI Review Capability Index (AIRC) and use fixed-effects regression and structural equation modeling (SEM) to quantify the impact of AI integration on research productivity, reproducibility, and innovation. The key finding is that a one standard deviation increase in AIRC leads to an 18-25% increase in scientific productivity, mediated by improved review efficiency and reproducibility.
AI-augmented peer review isn't just hype: it measurably boosts scientific productivity across nations.
This study empirically investigates the impact of AI-augmented peer review systems on scientific productivity using panel data from OECD countries. While prior research has highlighted inefficiencies in traditional peer review, little empirical work has quantified the systemic impact of AI integration at the national level. We construct a novel AI Review Capability Index (AIRC) and examine its effects on research productivity, reproducibility, and innovation output. Using fixed-effects regression and structural equation modeling (SEM), we show that AI-assisted evaluation significantly enhances productivity and reduces variance in research quality. Results indicate that a one standard deviation increase in AIRC is associated with an 18-25% increase in scientific productivity, mediated through improvements in review efficiency and reproducibility. This paper provides the first cross-country empirical validation of AI-augmented scientific evaluation systems and contributes to the emerging literature on AI as a structural driver of knowledge production.
