Abstract

Purpose

To assess the prevalence of artificial intelligence (AI) usage policies in manuscript writing in PubMed-indexed ophthalmology journals and examine the relationship between the adoption of these policies and journal characteristics.

Design

Cross-sectional study.

Subjects

PubMed-indexed ophthalmology journals.

Main Outcome Measures

Prevalence of policies in journal guidelines regarding the use of AI in manuscript writing.

Methods

We reviewed the guidelines of 84 ophthalmology journals indexed in PubMed to determine the presence of AI-use policies for manuscript generation. We further compared journal metrics, such as CiteScore, Journal Impact Factor (JIF), Journal Citation Indicator (JCI), Source Normalized Impact per Paper (SNIP), and SCImago Journal Rank (SJR), between journals with and without AI policies. Additionally, we analyzed the association between AI policy adoption and journal characteristics, such as MEDLINE indexing and society affiliation.

Results

Among the 84 journals, 53 (63.1%) had AI policies for manuscript generation, with no significant changes observed during the study period. Journals indexed in MEDLINE were significantly more likely to have AI policies (68.8%) than non-MEDLINE-indexed journals, where no AI policies were found (0%) (P = .0008). There was no significant difference in AI policy adoption between society-affiliated (62.7%) and unaffiliated journals (64.7%) (P = .84). Journals with AI policies had significantly higher metrics, including CiteScore, SNIP, SJR, JIF, and JCI (P < .05).

Conclusions

While many ophthalmology journals have adopted AI policies, the lack of guidelines in over one-third of journals highlights a critical need for consistent and comprehensive AI policies, particularly as the AI landscape rapidly advances.

眼科期刊在稿件撰写方面有人工智能政策吗？

目的：评估PubM索引眼科期刊在撰写稿件时采用人工智能（AI）政策的普遍程度，并研究采用这些政策与期刊特征之间的关系：横断面研究：主要结果测量：期刊指南中有关稿件写作中使用人工智能的政策的普遍性：我们查阅了PubMed收录的84种眼科期刊的指南，以确定是否存在稿件写作中使用人工智能的政策。我们进一步比较了有人工智能政策和没有人工智能政策的期刊之间的期刊指标，如CiteScore、期刊影响因子（JIF）、期刊引文指标（JCI）、每篇论文来源归一化影响（SNIP）和SCImago期刊排名（SJR）。此外，我们还分析了采用人工智能政策与期刊特征（如 MEDLINE 索引和所属学会）之间的关联：在 84 家期刊中，53 家（63.1%）在稿件生成方面采用了人工智能政策，在研究期间未观察到明显变化。被MEDLINE收录的期刊有人工智能政策的比例（68.8%）明显高于未被MEDLINE收录的期刊（0%）（p = 0.0008）。隶属学会的期刊（62.7%）和非隶属学会的期刊（64.7%）在采用人工智能政策方面没有明显差异（p = 0.8443）。采用人工智能政策的期刊拥有更高的指标，包括CiteScore、SNIP、SJR、JIF和JCI（p < 0.05）：虽然许多眼科期刊都采用了人工智能政策，但超过三分之一的期刊缺乏指导方针，这凸显了对一致、全面的人工智能政策的迫切需求，尤其是在人工智能迅速发展的今天。

期刊介绍： The American Journal of Ophthalmology is a peer-reviewed, scientific publication that welcomes the submission of original, previously unpublished manuscripts directed to ophthalmologists and visual science specialists describing clinical investigations, clinical observations, and clinically relevant laboratory investigations. Published monthly since 1884, the full text of the American Journal of Ophthalmology and supplementary material are also presented online at www.AJO.com and on ScienceDirect. The American Journal of Ophthalmology publishes Full-Length Articles, Perspectives, Editorials, Correspondences, Books Reports and Announcements. Brief Reports and Case Reports are no longer published. We recommend submitting Brief Reports and Case Reports to our companion publication, the American Journal of Ophthalmology Case Reports. Manuscripts are accepted with the understanding that they have not been and will not be published elsewhere substantially in any format, and that there are no ethical problems with the content or data collection. Authors may be requested to produce the data upon which the manuscript is based and to answer expeditiously any questions about the manuscript or its authors.
