AI use in scientific submissions to major academic journal up by 42% since November 2022: Analysis
The use of artificial intelligence (AI) in submissions of scientific papers to a major journal has jumped up 42% since November 2022, when ChatGPT was first released to the public, while quality in writing has declined, according to a study.
The study looked at nearly 7,000 abstracts submitted by 11,887 authors to the academic journal Organization Science — considered a premier publication in management and organisation theory — between January 2021 and February 2026 that were reviewed about 10,400 times by more than 2,500 reviewers. Over 8,000 peer reviews were also analysed for the use of AI.
