Using Generative AI in Manuscript Preparation

Generative AI is transforming how research is conducted and published - but using it responsibly is essential to protecting research integrity. This module walks authors through Elsevier's policies on generative AI, covering when and how AI can support manuscript preparation, the rules for figures and images, and data visualizations, and the requirements for disclosing AI use. You'll learn why it is important to verify all output, safeguard your data and intellectual property, and stay accountable for the accuracy and originality of your work. The module closes with a practical Responsible AI checklist to run through before you submit.
