Generative Artificial Intelligence (AI), including platforms like ChatGPT, is increasingly used in the scientific publishing world for tasks ranging from improving the quality of manuscripts to aiding in peer review processes. However, its use raises ethical concerns, such as potential cheating by students, breach of confidentiality by peer reviewers, and the opacity of AI systems, leading to calls for transparency and accountability in the use of AI in scientific publications, as well as guidelines for authors, reviewers, and publishers in declaring AI-generated content.
