Nearly three-quarters of researchers are unclear about what uses of artificial intelligence should be disclosed in scholarly work, while almost half admit to under-disclosure, according to a survey by Oxford University Press.
Published on 10 September, 2026 and based on responses from more than 2,600 researchers across the world, the survey found significant uncertainty over AI transparency requirements in research, with 74 % of respondents unsure what use of AI should be reported.
In addition, 48 % of respondents said they had not fully disclosed AI use, while 44 % said they were concerned that accurately disclosing their AI use would negatively impact how others view their work.
