Mindful publishing in the AI era: Navigating trends and fostering environmental awareness

Abstract

Mindful publishing plays a key role in bridging technological advancement with environmental mindfulness. This presentation is offering an editor’s perspective on the current trends and future directions in the publishing world, with a central focus on fostering environmental awareness by considering potential benefits and risks of AI engagement. Drawing upon recent data and publications journals such as Mindfulness, we illustrate the powerful potential for a symbiotic relationship between mindfulness research, AI technologies and environmental stewardship in publishing. The talk further navigates the emergent pathways of conducting research and dissemination of knowledge leveraging AI tools, while minimizing environmental footprint. By introducing the Special Issue on Environmental Mindfulness, we invite stakeholders to explore the landscape of mindful publishing in the AI epoch, a venture promising to open fresh avenues for research and discussions. By delineating the contemporary nexus of mindful publishing and AI, we aim to spearhead a movement towards more conscious, environmentally sustainable knowledge dissemination paradigms, thereby championing the nurturing of a society that is both informed and sustainable.
