Title: Rethinking Publication: A Certification Framework for AI-Enabled Research

Abstract:
arXiv:2604.22026v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: AI research pipelines now produce a growing share of publishable academic output, including work that meets existing peer-review standards for quality and novelty. Yet the publication system was built on the assumption of universal human authorship and lacks a principled way to evaluate knowledge produced through automated pipelines. This paper proposes a two-layer certification framework that separates knowledge quality assessment from grading of
