How Closely Do LLM Reviews Align with Human Peer Review?

arXiv:2608. 03659v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Large language models (LLMs) are increasingly used to generate scientific reviews, yet existing evaluations rarely examine whether different providers align with both conference decisions and human reviewing priorities within the same controlled setting.

FMMD: A multimodal multidisciplinary dataset of open peer reviews from F1000Research

FMMD is a multimodal, multidisciplinary dataset of open peer reviews from F1000Research that pairs manuscript-level visual and structural data with version‑specific reviewer reports and editorial decisions. It addresses key gaps in existing datasets by preserving precise alignment between review comments and the exact manuscript version, and by including a wide range of scientific disciplines beyond computer science. The dataset supports tasks such as visual‑semantic consistency classification, figure‑related review comment generation, and editorial decision prediction, providing a comprehensive empirical resource for multimodal automated scholarly paper review research.

Hidden Prompts in Manuscripts Exploit AI-Assisted Peer Review

The article reports that in July 2025, 18 arXiv manuscripts contained hidden instructions designed to manipulate AI‑assisted peer review, such as covert commands to give only positive reviews. These prompts were concealed using white text and microscopic fonts, and the authors’ reactions ranged from withdrawal to defending the practice as a test of reviewer misuse of large language models. The study identifies four types of hidden prompts, critiques the ineffectiveness of honeypot defenses, and highlights inconsistent publisher policies while calling for controlled AI integration and harmonized guidelines in academic evaluation.
