FT 报道，机器写作的论文大量涌入学术期刊，筛选成本正推动规模 220 亿美元的出版业走向并购。Elsevier 自 2022 年起将审稿人队伍扩充超过三分之一至 190 万人；Springer Nature 因质控成本上升和聊天机器人贬值付费研究的担忧，IPO 两年后仍低于 22.50 欧元的发行价。

FT: Machine-written papers are flooding academic journals, and the cost of screening them is pushing a $22B publishing industry toward mergers.
Filtering the flood requires people. thats why Elsevier has grown its reviewer pool by more than a third since 2022 to 1.9M.
Those rising quality-control costs, plus fears that chatbots will make paid research less valuable, have kept Springer Nature below its €22.50 listing price 2 years after its IPO.
Consolidation is the industry’s answer, starting with Wiley’s £337M purchase of Emerald in June and Informa’s October decision to separate Taylor & Francis, a unit nearing $1B in annual revenue.
The same AI that floods journals also pays for them, as Wiley earned about $40M in 2025 from licensing content for model training.
