Summary
This piece is essential listening for anyone interested in modern academic publishing. Recorded at the Collaborative Clinical Trials Meeting in Prato, Italy, TopMedTalk hosts Kate Leslie and Mike Grocott speak with Eric Rubin (Editor-in-Chief, New England Journal of Medicine) and Jocalyn Clark (International Editor, BMJ) about medical publishing.

They explore how AI affects originality and idea generation, note an NEJM AI experiment using AI reviews, and consider how journals should communicate beyond clinicians to address misinformation and declining attention, while maintaining trust and collaborating more across publishing and science. -- The 2026 International Practicum on Cardiopulmonary Exercise Testing will be held at the Balmer Lawn Hotel in Brockenhurst, UK, from September 16th to 18th this year.
