![Is generative AI allowed in academic writing?
• March 2023: Elsevier journals add “Declaration of generative
AI in scientific writing” in author guidelines.
Let's talk about GPT: A crash course in Generative AI for researchers - @steven2358 32
Declaration of generative AI in scientific writing
The below guidance only refers to the writing process, and not
to the use of AI tools to analyse and draw insights from data as
part of the research process.
Where authors use generative artificial intelligence (AI) and AI-
assisted technologies in the writing process, authors should
only use these technologies to improve readability and
language. Applying the technology should be done with human
oversight and control, and authors should carefully review and
edit the result, as AI can generate authoritative-sounding output
that can be incorrect, incomplete or biased. AI and AI-assisted
technologies should not be listed as an author or co-author, or
be cited as an author. Authorship implies responsibilities and
tasks that can only be attributed to and performed by humans,
as outlined in Elsevier’s AI policy for authors.
Authors should disclose in their manuscript the use of AI and AI-
assisted technologies in the writing process by following the
instructions below. A statement will appear in the published work.
Please note that authors are ultimately responsible and accountable for
the contents of the work.
Disclosure instructions
Authors must disclose the use of generative AI and AI-assisted
technologies in the writing process by adding a statement at the end of
their manuscript in the core manuscript file, before the References list.
The statement should be placed in a new section entitled ‘Declaration of
Generative AI and AI-assisted technologies in the writing process’.
Statement: During the preparation of this work the author(s) used [NAME
TOOL / SERVICE] in order to [REASON]. After using this tool/service, the
author(s) reviewed and edited the content as needed and take(s) full
responsibility for the content of the publication.
This declaration does not apply to the use of basic tools for checking
grammar, spelling, references etc. If there is nothing to disclose, there
is no need to add a statement.
