I Used AI in the Drafting of this Editorial. How Should I Reference AI's Contribution?
The use of artificial intelligence (AI) and large language models to support research and scientific writing is new but expanding exponentially. This editorial provides guidance on how to cite the use of AI and discusses practical and ethical issues relating to AI-generated content in manuscript submissions to this journal and others. Author transparency and explicitly stating how AI was used is a core expectation of editors and publishers. What's more, this editorial provides examples of how vigilant researchers and writers need to be in verifying the output from AI queries. Though AI is thought to save time in many cognitive and professional tasks, the tendencies of AI towards misinformation and bias may well negate the advantages that AI has in surfacing requested information.
