Requirement for Generative AI Declaration for Manuscripts Submitted from January 1, 2026

Effective January 1, 2026, all manuscripts submitted to journals published by Gleam Publishing must comply with a new requirement for the disclosure of generative AI use. Manuscripts that do not meet this requirement will not be considered for peer review. This policy is intended to promote transparency, uphold research integrity, and encourage the responsible use of emerging technologies in scholarly publishing.

Definition of Generative AI

Generative AI refers to a category of artificial intelligence systems capable of autonomously producing original outputs, including text, images, audio, video, code, and synthetic data, that resemble human-created content. These systems are typically based on advanced machine learning architectures, such as large language models (LLMs), diffusion models, and generative adversarial networks (GANs), which learn probabilistic representations from large-scale datasets. Despite their increasing prevalence, the use of generative AI tools in the preparation of academic manuscripts is subject to substantial restrictions and disclosure requirements imposed by many scholarly publishers and academic institutions, primarily due to concerns regarding authorship attribution, academic integrity, transparency, reproducibility, and potential bias.

Disclosure Requirement

Authors must disclose the use of generative AI and AI-assisted technologies in the writing process by including a statement in the core manuscript file. The use of basic tools for grammar checking, spelling correction, reference management, or similar routine editorial assistance does not require declaration. If no generative AI or AI-assisted technologies were used in the preparation of the manuscript, no declaration is required.

Required Statement Format

This statement must be placed immediately before the References list, under the heading:

**Generative AI Declaration**

During the preparation of this manuscript, the author(s) used [NAME OF TOOL/SERVICE] for the purpose of [SPECIFY PURPOSE]. The author(s) subsequently reviewed and edited the content as necessary and assume full responsibility for the accuracy and integrity of the published work.

Journal of Clinical Question

Following discussions with the editorial board, the Journal of Clinical Question is implementing several key updates to enhance the publication process and reader experience.

  1. Peer Review Transparency
    As part of our commitment to openness and academic integrity, the peer-review history of accepted articles will now be made available as supplementary information. These files will be accessible on the journal’s homepage, allowing readers to better understand the evaluation process behind each publication.
  2. Transition to E-Page Format
    To align with modern publishing standards and improve digital accessibility, the journal will transition from traditional paging to an e-page format starting with the upcoming issue. Each article will now be identified using a unique e-page number rather than conventional page ranges.
  3. ORCID Integration
    To strengthen author identification and recognition, the journal has introduced ORCID icons for all authors. Submitting authors are encouraged to provide their ORCID iD during submission to ensure proper attribution and integration with their academic profiles.

We believe these changes will support a more transparent, efficient, and connected scholarly environment. Thank you for your continued support.

We are delighted to share that our Journal of Clinical Question has recently been indexed in Ichushi, Japan, marking a significant milestone in our commitment to advancing medical research and clinical knowledge.
