Publisher Policies on AI

Authorship and AI tools - Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE) position statement
ACM Policy on Authorship
"Generative AI tools and technologies, such as ChatGPT, may not be listed as authors of an ACM published Work. The use of generative AI tools and technologies to create content is permitted but must be fully disclosed in the Work."
APA Publishing Policies "When a generative artificial intelligence (AI) model is used in the drafting of a manuscript for an APA publication, the use of AI must be disclosed in the methods section and cited. AI cannot be named as an author on an APA scholarly publication."
Cambridge University Press: AI Contributions to Research Content "AI does not meet the Cambridge requirements for authorship, given the need for accountability. AI and LLM tools may not be listed as an author on any scholarly work published by Cambridge"
Elsevier AI Author Policy “Authors should disclose in their manuscript the use of AI and AI-assisted technologies and a statement will appear in the published work. ...Authors should not list AI and AI-assisted technologies as an author or co-author, nor cite AI as an author.”
Emerald Publishing Ethics "Firstly, because these tools cannot take accountability for such work, AI tools/large language models cannot be credited with authorship of any Emerald publication. Secondly, any use of AI tools within the development of an Emerald publication must be flagged by the author(s) within the paper, chapter or case study."
IEEE Submission Policies “The use of content generated by artificial intelligence (AI) in a paper (including but not limited to text, figures, images, and code) shall be disclosed in the acknowledgments section of any paper submitted to an IEEE publication.”
International Committee of Medical Journal Editors Artificial Intelligence (AI)-Assisted Technology
Nature Statement on Authorship and AI
NIH: The Use of Generative Artificial Intelligence Technologies is Prohibited for the NIH Peer Review Process
NSF: Use of generative artificial intelligence technology in the NSF merit review process
Oxford Academic BJR Artificial Intelligence Authorship "Natural language processing tools driven by artificial intelligence (AI) do not qualify as authors, and the Journal will screen for them in author lists. The use of AI (for example, to help generate content, write code, or process data) should be disclosed both in cover letters to editors and in the Methods or Acknowledgements section of manuscripts."
PLOS - Ethical Publishing Practice
"Contributions by artificial intelligence (AI) tools and technologies to a study or to an article’s contents must be clearly reported in a dedicated section of the Methods, or in the Acknowledgements section for article types lacking a Methods section."
