Artificial Intelligence


This year we’re hosting two workshop-style pre-conferences
<https://niso.plus/niso-plus-2026-baltimore/niso-plus-baltimore-2026-pre-conferences/>
focusing on AI in scholarly publishing. The first will cover managing AI
access to content; the second addresses AI usage tracking. During the main
conference, parallel sessions will cover topics like the evolving landscape
of AI governance
<https://nisoplusglobalonline.cadmore.media/NISO-2026-Session/488fb84a-f7af-4b8d-99e1-4832e2887952>,
how AI is transforming content delivery,
<https://nisoplusglobalonline.cadmore.media/NISO-2026-Session/4cfbe478-d33f-448d-98a7-25811fbc73a0>

<https://nisoplusglobalonline.cadmore.media/NISO-2026-Session/44dbb0b5-c500-4989-b8c2-08a150f78a9a>,
to name just a few. This is a great opportunity to shape the community
conversation exploring best practices in these critical areas!


Metadata


As always, metadata is an important area of discussion at the 2026 NISO
Plus conference! The program features sessions on managing increasingly
complex metadata workflows
<https://nisoplusglobalonline.cadmore.media/NISO-2026-Session/9703dac1-d180-46ff-a629-34bb40a18220>,
addressing metadata fragmentation
<https://nisoplusglobalonline.cadmore.media/NISO-2026-Session/9fb70be8-91ce-4a07-bac4-e8aa10826858>,
metadata creation and enhancement using generative AI
<https://nisoplusglobalonline.cadmore.media/NISO-2026-Session/d33e0873-8c7d-4b00-a9b8-34944f181f8f>,
and more.


Open Research and Research Integrity

<https://nisoplusglobalonline.cadmore.media/NISO-2026-Session/c8a45edf-6b78-4991-9d14-e13f501e2630>
that support research integrity.
