Guidelines for the Use of Generative Artificial Intelligence Tools for Biomedical Journal Authors and Reviewers

Abstract

Authors are permitted to use generative artificial intelligence (AI) large language models (LLM) to improve the readability of their own writing. However, authors must review and edit the output resulting from generative AI and are accountable for the accuracy of their publications. AI may not be listed, or cited, as an author. Authors who use AI in the scientific writing process must disclose the use of AI LLM in their manuscript including a description of the tool and reason for use. Authors are not permitted to use AI to create or alter images or videos, (unless this is part of the research design in which case a statement is required explaining what was created or altered, with what tools, how, and for what reason). Finally, AI use by reviewers and editors is not permitted and violates confidentiality and proprietary rights and may breach data privacy rights. In conclusion, scientific writing and peer review is the responsibility of humans.
