LLMs can check research correctness but not significance, study finds

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

A new study published on arXiv explores the effectiveness of Large Language Models (LLMs) in the peer-review process for finance and accounting journals. Researchers found that GPT-4o and GPT-5 could accurately assess the correctness and exposition of research papers, with papers scoring higher by the models being 44% more likely to be published. However, the models showed no ability to judge the originality or significance of the research, indicating that while LLMs can verify the technical accuracy of research, human judgment remains crucial for assessing its impact.

IMPACT LLMs can assist in technical review of research, but human judgment is still essential for assessing originality and significance.

    How Well Do LLMs Perform in Peer Review? Evidence from Finance and Accounting

    arXiv:2610.18435v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Referees increasingly use large language models (LLMs), while finance and accounting journals disagree about whether to allow it. We ask which part of a referee's job the models can do. GPT-4o, whose training data end before the 2…
