I'm not jumping into this specific debate but I need to be very clear here from an editor POV. Using AI for many journals is a considered breach of academic integrity and legal confidentiality. Always check the publishers policy on AI use for peer reviews. Major publishers and COPE explicitly ban it as this is giving away an author’s unpublished intellectual property to a commercial data bank. Taylor & Francis for @EvidenceBaseJnl notes clearly: "editors and peer reviewers must not upload files, images, or information from unpublished manuscripts into Generative AI tools. Failure to comply with this policy may infringe upon the rightsholder’s intellectual property." Find here: taylorandfrancis.com/our-pol…

Call for eyes again: Anyone willing to review a manuscript on mass shooters? Also, if you are willing to be added to our reviewer pool more generally, please do get in touch with your research interests - we have several fab manuscripts coming through, and diverse expertise is welcome to review and improve submissions.

The levels in the process where this could have been caught, just wow. In case people don't know the number of hands a manuscript passes through at a journal from submission to publication, here is a likely route: > Journal editorial office - didn't catch it in pre-checks. > Administrator - didn't catch it in pre-checks. > Senior managing editor - didn't catch it during evaluation for fit and quality, and designation to the team. > Managing editor - didn't catch in review for sending to peer reviewers. > 2+ expert peer reviewers (depending on # of revisions, etc.) - didn't catch it in review. > Senior managing editor/managing editor - again didn't catch it but this time when evaluating reviewer comments and making recommendations to the editor. > Editor-in-chief - didn't catch it in review and decisions. > Pre-production person - didn't catch it for sending to production and batch assignment. > Production and proofing - didn't catch it in the comprehensive final checks. Have I made my point? I don't know why I'm shocked, but I am. As a community, we need to come together to discuss this and develop a plan.
