Background of the Study
Research paper reviewing is an essential process in academic publishing, which ensures the quality and credibility of scholarly works. Traditionally, this process involves human reviewers who critically evaluate papers for their originality, relevance, and academic rigor. However, as the volume of academic research continues to rise, this method has become increasingly inefficient, leading to delays and subjective biases in the review process.
AI-based systems offer an innovative solution to this problem by automating the process of identifying appropriate reviewers based on the content of research papers. By using natural language processing (NLP) algorithms, machine learning, and data mining techniques, AI systems can analyze the paper’s topic, methodology, and references to recommend the most suitable experts for the review. These AI-driven systems can reduce the time spent by editors in identifying qualified reviewers, improve the objectivity of the review process, and enhance the quality of academic publishing.
Federal Polytechnic, Bida, Niger State, which is home to a growing number of research scholars, faces the challenge of managing the increasing demands of research paper review processes. This study aims to design and implement an AI-based automated research paper reviewer suggestion system to streamline the review process, improve its efficiency, and ensure the selection of appropriate reviewers.
Statement of the Problem
The research paper review process at Federal Polytechnic, Bida, is often delayed due to the manual and subjective selection of reviewers. As the institution’s research output increases, the need for a more efficient, automated, and objective system to match papers with qualified reviewers becomes evident. While AI has the potential to streamline this process, there is limited research on its application within Nigerian polytechnics for academic publishing.
