The application of new technologies to science affects the way and methodology in which research is conducted. Unfortunately, the development and writing of ethical codes cannot keep up with the pace of development and application of technology. Moreover, preparing guidelines is not an easy task because codes of ethics are not completely black and white. Zafer Kocak in his research "Publication Ethics in the Era of Artificial Intelligence" developed an author’s guide before writing and submitting an AI-assisted manuscript
Journals generally ask you to declare/indicate
- Which AI model was used, when and by whom?
- The rationale for the use of AI and how it is used
- All prompts and responses
- Where in your article the AI-generated content appears?
During the manuscript writing process
- Check the accuracy of all references
- Ensure that all concepts are properly attributed
- Ensure that the language used is neutral and inclusive
- Check the similarity of text for plagiarism
- Read the journal and/or publisher’s AI policy carefully
Journals and publishers should have clear and transparent policies on the ethical use of AI for the drafting, editing, and reviewing of manuscripts. They should also avoid unfairly blaming authors when taking action against the unethical use of AI. Educating staff and editorial boards on this issue is not only a need but also an obligation.
