For most of human history, scientific papers were written for human eyes alone — but that assumption has quietly dissolved. Large language models now read, summarize, and synthesize research at scales no individual scholar could match, yet the publishing formats that carry this knowledge were never designed with machines in mind. The gap between how science is written and how it is increasingly consumed is not merely a technical inconvenience; it shapes which knowledge becomes visible, which studies get integrated, and whose decades of work are honored or lost. A modest structural proposal — a

Researchers and institutions would benefit from improved literature synthesis and discovery efficiency, potentially reducing time spent on manual review. However, this may increase publishing costs if verification services are required, and could disadvantage researchers without access to advanced tools.
Scientific publishing standards bodies (ICMJE, COPE) may need to establish guidelines for machine-readable metadata. Funding agencies could mandate structured summaries for grant-funded research. Potential regulatory frameworks around AI-generated content verification and liability for machine-readable summaries may emerge.
