Best Practices

Do:

  • Use AI to meet word limits, generate abstracts, clarify grammar and language, adjust for reading level 

  • Acknowledge use of AI in the manuscript. Include:

    • What tools were used
    • What was done using the tools
    • If possible, include original pre-AI manuscript as supplemental material
    • Anything else required by your specific journal

Don't:

  • Use AI to generate wholesale text or reference lists

  • Blindly accept suggestions/changes without checking and rewriting in your own language/style

  • List the AI as an author
