Taylor & Francis AI disclosure statement

Taylor & Francis allows generative AI for tasks like copyediting, translation, idea generation, coding and data visualisation, but not for drafting manuscript text. Authors include a statement saying whether and how generative AI was used, with extra disclosures in the methods or figure legends for certain uses.

Authors
During the preparation of this work, the authors used ChatGPT (OpenAI, https://chatgpt.com) to brainstorm ideas and check grammar and spelling. After using this tool, the authors reviewed and edited the content as needed and take full responsibility for the content of the publication.

Taylor & Francis's own wording

No-AI example: "The authors report generative AI was not used in their research or preparation of this manuscript."

The rules at a glance

When you need one
Every article should state whether and how generative AI was used in the research or manuscript preparation, including a statement when it was not used. Extra disclosures apply for translation, AI-generated figures, AI in research methods, literature reviews and plain language summaries.
Where it goes
A specific AI usage disclosure statement within the article; methods section for research methods and literature reviews; figure legend for AI-generated visuals (tool name and version); for books, the preface or introduction after editor approval
Prompts and outputs
For AI used in research methods or literature reviews, keep full records of methods and prompts and share them with the journal on request; for AI-assisted plain language summaries, keep original and revised versions for sharing on request.
Must include
  • full name of the AI tool with version number
  • how it was used and the reason for use
  • confirmation authors checked originality and accuracy
  • confirmation authors checked the tool's terms of use and suitability for publication
  • confirmation authors take full responsibility for all content, including reference accuracy
  • for translations: which author checked the translation's accuracy
Also note
  • Generative AI must not be listed as an author
  • Not allowed to draft a manuscript or sections of it, or to create or conclude the article's argument
  • Cannot conduct a whole literature review or generate an entire reference list
  • Must not create or manipulate research or clinical outputs (e.g. results, Western blots, diagnostic images, interviews)
  • Some journals allow AI only for language improvement; check the journal's Instructions for Authors
  • Book authors must get editor approval before using generative AI
  • Obtain consent before uploading personal data, and permission before putting copyrighted material into AI tools
  • Editors and reviewers must not upload unpublished manuscripts to generative AI; reviewers may not use AI to generate reviews, only to improve review language

If you didn't use AI

The authors report generative AI was not used in their research or preparation of this manuscript.
