New collaborative statement by bioethics journal editors on generative AI use

Members of the Accountability in Research (AiR) editorial board are proud to join editors of seven other bioethics journals in issuing the “Editors’ Statement on the Responsible Use of Generative AI Technologies in Scholarly Journal Publishing.” AiR Associate Editors Mohammad Hosseini and David B. Resnik are coauthors of the Statement, and I am a signatory on behalf of the journal.

The statement offers a preliminary set of recommendations on the use of generative AI in scholarly publishing, addressing authorship, peer review, and the publishing process. Recommendations include a prohibition on naming generative AI tools as authors, a requirement that authors be transparent about how they have used these tools, a similar requirement that editors and reviewers should be transparent about whether and how they have used generative AI tools during the review process, and a requirement that reviews should not be conducted only with these tools.

Although generative AI tools will undoubtedly continue to evolve and require additional discussion, what will not change is our fundamental commitment to the principles of integrity, responsibility, rigor, and transparency in academic publishing.
