How to disclose AI use in a paper

Major journals and ICMJE agree: AI cannot be an author; describe how AI assisted writing or analysis when you submit; authors are responsible for everything. Exact placement and wording follow the target journal’s policy.

Scenario: Research: find, read and review literature →

Symptoms

  • You are unsure whether language polishing must be declared
  • You worry AI use will get the paper rejected

Common causes

  • Policies differ by journal
  • Putting AI-generated citations or data into a paper is misconduct

How to fix

  1. Read the target journal’s AI policy before submitting (Nature, Elsevier and others have dedicated pages)
  2. Record tools, versions and purposes (e.g. “ChatGPT for English editing”, “AI-assisted code”)
  3. Per ICMJE, describe AI use in the cover letter and the relevant section of the paper (methods, acknowledgements…)
  4. Never list AI as an author; AI-generated images are usually tightly restricted
  5. Check every AI-provided fact and citation and make sure nothing is plagiarised

Notes

  • Journal and university rules change; follow the latest official policy
