The major scientific journal publishers’ policy on usage of artificial intelligence (AI) tool

Journal publisher Journal’s policy statement Date of statement
AAAS (American Association for the Advancement of Science; publisher of Science) We would not allow AI to be listed as an author on a paper we published, and use of AI-generated text without proper citation could be considered plagiarism. 26 January 2023 (Science 2023;379:313)2
Springer Nature (publisher of Nature) ChatGPT doesn’t meet the standard for authorship.
Authors using LLMs (large language models) in any way while developing a paper should document their use in the methods or acknowledgements sections.		 24 January 2023 (Nature 2023;613:612)5
Elsevier (publisher of Cell and Lancet) The use of AI tools can improve the readability and language of the research article but cannot replace key tasks that should be done by the authors, such as interpreting data or drawing scientific conclusions. AI and AI-assisted tools cannot be credited as an author on published work. March 2023 (authorship policy updated; https://www.elsevier.com/about/policies/publishingethics)
