Discovery has always been central to the value publishers provide, but AI is reshaping how researchers navigate and engage with scholarly literature. This session focuses on AI-powered discovery tools integrated directly into publishing platforms—semantic search, recommendation engines, research assistants, and intelligent navigation systems that help users surface relevant content more effectively. We’ll examine how these tools are changing user behavior, what makes on-platform AI discovery successful, and how publishers can balance enhanced discoverability with maintaining the trusted, authoritative environment that defines scholarly publishing. Panelists will share insights from implementing AI discovery features and discuss the evolving relationship between traditional search, browse experiences, and AI-assisted content exploration.
This event is part of the 2026 Platform Strategies Webinar Series, “The New User Experience: Understanding the Full Spectrum of AI & Human Engagement in Scholarly Publishing.” Read more here.
