AI Disclosure for Universities
Journals, funders and universities now expect clear statements about how generative AI was used in research and writing. Transparent disclosure protects academic integrity and your reputation.
The current rules
Most academic publishers require authors to declare AI tools used in writing or analysis, and prohibit listing AI as an author. Universities set their own rules for coursework — always check your programme's policy.
Example disclosures
- Disclosure: Generative AI tools were used to assist drafting; the authors verified all content and take full responsibility.
- AI-assisted editing was used to improve readability. No AI was used to generate research findings.
