doi:10.11946/cjstp.202407230814

Abstract

Abstract:

［Purposes］

This study analyzes the opportunities and challenges that AI technology brings to scientific journals and explores the construction of an AI policy to support their high-quality development.

［Methods］

Based on the first principles of scientific journals, we proposed a forward-looking, positively balanced, step-wise, and actively iterative AI policy framework aimed at empowering research, adapting to future developments, promoting high-quality growth, and reinforcing research integrity.

［Findings］

The study suggests policy measures to support the responsible use of AI tools in research, establish normalized mechanisms for disclosing AI tool usage in research papers, implement differentiated management of AI tools in peer review, and prudently advance the detection of AI-generated content.

［Conclusions］

The study urges the establishment and implementation of policies for AI-empowered development of scientific journals, including nurturing AI literacy, developing diverse AI tools, and constructing public infrastructure to support AI empowerment.

Key words: Scientific journal, AI empowerment, AI policy, AI usage guideline, Peer review, Detection of AI-generated content

摘要：

【目的】

分析AI技术对科技期刊带来的机遇与挑战，探索构建支持高质量发展的科技期刊AI政策。

【方法】

从科技期刊第一性原理出发，围绕促进科技创新、适应未来发展、促进自身高质量发展、加强科研诚信管理的要求，提出构建战略前瞻、积极平衡、分级分步、主动迭代的科技期刊AI政策框架。
