Policy Summary

AIP Publishing permits authors to use AI tools to help translate manuscript language for publication. Authors must declare this AI use in the cover letter at submission, including the specific tool used and how it was used. Authors should carefully review the AI-translated text to confirm factual accuracy and to ensure the submitted manuscript remains the authors’ own work.

Evidence

• Authors may use AI to assist with writing and editing tasks, including language translation and grammar correction. This use should be carefully reviewed by the authors to ensure factual accuracy and that the final manuscript is the author’s own work.

Policy Summary

AIP states that authors should disclose AI use when it involves analysis of data and has the potential to affect an article's findings or conclusions. Such AI use should be described in detail in the Methods section, including the exact tool details, what it was used for, and the reason for using it. AIP also states that generative AI should not be used to create, alter, or manipulate original research data results.

Evidence

• AI use should be disclosed when it has the potential to affect the findings or conclusions of an article, including but not limited to: * Analysis of content, data, or images Such uses of AI should be described in detail in the Methods section. To increase transparency and reproducibility, the description must include the exact tool (name, version, manufacturer), what the tool was used for, and the reason for using it for the task. Generative AI should not be used to create, alter, or manipulate original research data results or make adjustments to original images that alter the accuracy or interpretation of the original material.
