Using AI to write scholarly publications

Artificial intelligence (AI) natural language processing (NLP) systems, such as OpenAI’s generative pre-trained transformer (GPT) model (https://openai.com) or Meta’s Galactica (https://galactica.org/) may soon be widely used in many forms of writing, including scientific and scholarly publications (Heaven 2022).1 While computer programs (such as Microsoft WORD and Grammarly) have incorporated automated text-editing features (such as checking for spelling and grammar) for many years, these programs are not designed to create content. However, new and emerging NLP systems are, which raises important issues for research ethics and research integrity.2

AI-Assisted Authorship: How to Assign Credit in Synthetic Scholarship

This report proposes principles for determining when it is required to credit an artificial intelligence (AI) writer for its contributions to scholarly work. We begin by critiquing a policy recently published by the journal Nature, which forbids acknowledging AI writers as authors. We question the justification and breadth of this policy. We then suggest two fundamental considerations that we think are more relevant: continuity (how substantially are the contributions of AI writers carried through to the final product?), and creditworthiness (would this kind of product typically result in academic or professional credit for a human author?). We draw upon brief reflections on the nature and value of authorship to justify these considerations. This report provides a starting point for academics and the broader scholarly community in the emerging debate on determining when and how to credit AI writers’ contributions.

Best Practices for Disclosure and Citation When Using Artificial Intelligence Tools

This article is intended to be a best practices guide for disclosing the use of artificial intelligence tools in legal writing. The article focuses on using artificial intelligence tools that aid in drafting textual material, specifically in law review articles and law school courses. The article’s approach to disclosure and citation is intended to be a starting point for authors, institutions, and academic communities to tailor based on their own established norms and philosophies. Throughout the entire article, the author has used ChatGPT to provide examples of how artificial intelligence tools can be used in writing and how the output of artificial intelligence tools can be expressed in text, including examples of how that use and text should be disclosed and cited. The article will also include policies for professors to use in their classrooms and journals to use in their submission guidelines.
