Review Articles, Generative AI and the Remaking of Scholarly Infrastructure

Year: 2026
Type: article
Abstract: Key Points GenAI exposes structural weaknesses in descriptive, template‐driven review formats. arXiv and AI‐native preprint platforms illustrate divergent infrastructural responses to AI‐generated content. Review articles function as knowledge infrastructure, not merely as summaries of prior work. Reflexive, agenda‐setting reviews remain resistant to automation and retain high editorial value. The future of review articles lies in function and interpretation, not volume or exhaustiveness.
