The AI Disclosure Playbook

Disclose AI use in a way journals accept and reviewers trust — without guessing what counts as "substantive" or hunting through shifting guidance the week your manuscript is due.

Instant PDF download · Works for any journal or field · See a sample before you buy

You used AI somewhere in the work, and now you have to disclose it. But what actually counts as substantive use? Where does the statement go? What exact wording does this journal expect? Get it wrong and you risk an integrity flag or a desk rejection. This playbook is the translation layer between evolving guidance and the decisions you make on a real manuscript.

WHAT YOU GET

• The five core principles of credible AI disclosure.

• A "Tool" / "Where" / "What" / "Who" disclosure template with a fully worked example.

• A decision tree for substantive versus trivial use, with 10 worked examples.

• A copy/paste disclosure statement library covering 10 common scenarios.

• A journal & guidance quick-reference table, so you know the rules before you write.

• Before/after disclosure examples for manuscripts, abstracts, and plain language summaries.

• The three traps that get AI disclosures flagged — and how to avoid each one.

• Four LLM-agnostic prompts for drafting, auditing, compressing, and translating disclosures.

• A pre-submission AI disclosure QC checklist to run before anything leaves your desk.

SEE BEFORE YOU BUY

No surprises after checkout. Here's a real look inside the playbook — the "Three traps that get AI disclosures flagged" section — so you know exactly what you're getting.

BUILT FROM THE REAL THING, NOT THEORY

This playbook is built for the people who actually make disclosure calls — medical writers, publication managers, medical affairs teams, regulatory writers, students, and authors who need to disclose AI use credibly and consistently across journals. Every principle, template, and example reflects current guidance and the language that holds up in real submissions.

WHY IT WORKS

Journals want consistency. Reviewers want transparency. Integrity teams want to see that AI use was documented honestly. This playbook gives you the principles, structure, and discipline to satisfy all three without overthinking every sign-off.
