1/5 AEA journals have run a pilot using Refine, and author reactions were overwhelmingly positive: >90% favored incorporating Refine into the editorial process. Think of Refine not as a referee, but as a detailed technical proofreader. @aeajournals.bsky.social #EconSky
This is a fantastic and rare (!) example of authors of a published paper and the author of a comment on that paper working together to fix the scientific record. Kudos to all involved. This is not easy, even with good faith all around. @droodman.bsky.social @i4replication.bsky.social #EconSky

#EconSky: check in on your Google Scholar page. It is not ok. Screenshot is one of three hallucinated articles I found on my profile, clearly a downstream product of someone's AI hallucinations.
#EconSky: I got on the "Let's see how well AI can write an academic paper" wagon. Check it out. TL;DR: I'm pretty impressed, although Claude also told me that the current version would probably top out at Economics Letters or Economic Inquiry. deryugina.com/wp-content/u...

Lots of questions about AI in the editorial process these days. Thank you, Ray, for sharing the reviewer guidance. Bottomline, you can use AI tools, but we are looking for your judgment, not that of AI. We appreciate it if you let us know if/how you used AI.
Ray Fisman@rfisman.bsky.social · 5mo agoDuring a recent seminar visit, a number of people asked about use of AI in the refereeing process. Every AEA journal includes the following in the email you get after agreeing to do a review. If you have any doubts about what constitutes appropriate use, please ask!
I have been hearing recently that many people don't know about the ability to submit to AEJ-Policy (or any of the other AEJs) after submitting to AER-Insights (following the same process that existed going from the AER to the AEJs) More details and instructions here: www.aeaweb.org/journals/pol...
