Recommendations for a Classification of AI Use in Academic Manuscript Preparation

This document presents a classification of various ways that AI can be used to assist with preparing academic manuscripts. It may serve as a framework for publishers to develop policies on how AI in manuscript preparation may be used and should be declared by authors.

Publishers are encouraged to consider whether declarations by authors may be needed at the submission stage, as well as whether declarations should be included in a manuscript and final publication in accordance with their own guidelines and policies.

This classification was developed by the STM Association Task and Finish Group on AI Labelling Terminology for Research Content Declaration.
