As of 2026, JEP:HPP will require authors to explicitly report how they detect or prevent AI contamination.
We won’t prescribe the solution - this evolves too fast. Instead, we’ll emphasize transparency and rely on peer review, as for all methodological choices.

That's why in 2026, JEP:HPP is making a change to raise awareness about this problem. (1/2)

One key insight from pre-external review:

Theoretical impact requires more than stating what we do not know yet, or even making predictions based on prior findings. Tell us what fundamentally depends on your work. What core assumptions or principles would shift based on your results?
