How citation guides are addressing AI content
Statement from JAMA:
JAMA believes ChatGPT and other genAI chatbot outputs do not qualify for authorship, so there is no standard of citation, as any citation would require the artificial intelligence software to be listed as an author.
Publishers and disciplines have their own approaches to GenAI and those approaches vary in how they do, or do not, address the challenges and opportunities of these technologies.
The links in the list below take you to the policies of major scholarly publishers and represent various approaches and stances. Some guidance addresses both the use of GenAI and the use of artificial intelligence as a research method.
Many publishers and journals have specific AI use policies; however, it is best to check the submission guidance for the particular journal to which you are submitting, or you can contact the editor.
