B. Use of AI by Reviewers
Reviewers must adhere to the journal’s stated policy on the use of AI or request permission from the journal prior to using AI technology to facilitate their review. As described in Section II.C.2.c, reviewers must maintain the confidentiality of the manuscript, which may prohibit the uploading of the manuscript to software or other AI technologies where confidentiality cannot be assured unless such use of AI is explicitly permitted by journals. Reviewers who use AI in their review should disclose its use to the journal and ensure the content is appropriate and valid as AI can generate output that can be incorrect, incomplete, or biased.
