Analysis of authors disclosing AI use in submissions to @bmj.com journals at @peerreviewcongress.bsky.social

#peerreviewcongress
8 mo post-@bmj.com mandate that authors disclose #AI use, 6% of 25.1K submissions reported use, most commonly of chatbots (57%), writing assistant (13%) & visual/image processing tools (3%). May be an underestimate?
