Continuing our 10th birthday issue celebrations, I chatted with senior librarian and former biology Beth Montague-Hellen (Library and Information Services, Francis Crick Institute, UK) about her recent paper and ongoing work. We start by discussing her article, Placing ChatGPT in the Context of Disruptive Technology in Academic Publishing and especially the advantages and challenges such generative AI tools offer in the publishing and coding domains. We move on to talk about her contrasting experiences publishing – both as a researching library practitioner and within the biological fields, touching especially on the emotional affect overtly harsh reviewers can engender. Moving on, we talk about non-English language authors publishing in Anglosphere journals, before closing with Beth’s considered publication advice to scholars working on their earliest articles.
