This Knowledgespeak editorial examines the "AI handoff" problem: as AI becomes the primary interface for research discovery (especially for early-career researchers), publishers risk losing the context and credibility signals embedded in journal pages. The piece asks how much metadata must survive when content passes through an AI intermediary — a structural question with major implications for discoverability, citation integrity, and publisher brand equity in an AI-first ecosystem.
