Self-Disclosed Use of AI in Research Submissions to BMJ Journals
Key Points
Self-disclosed use of artificial intelligence tools is increasingly prevalent in research submissions, indicating a trend toward technological integration.
The analysis identified various AI tools commonly mentioned by authors, showing their growing relevance in academic writing.
Observational analysis of research manuscripts submitted to BMJ journals provided insights into the frequency and variety of AI applications.
This trend may enable more efficient research processes in academia, but implications for transparency and validation require attention.
Abstract
This study examines self-disclosed use of artificial intelligence (AI) in research manuscripts submitted to BMJ Group journals, including the types of tools used and frequency of use.
