Assisting academic literature discovery, summarization, and manuscript drafting

A global Oxford University Press survey of over 2,600 researchers revealed that while 64% find AI beneficial for tasks like discovering and editing research, 74% remain unclear about what AI use should be disclosed. Furthermore, 44% of researchers worry that disclosing AI use will harm perceptions of their work, leading nearly half of surveyed journal authors and grant applicants to withhold full disclosure. These findings highlight a critical gap between researchers' practical adoption of AI and the institutional transparency standards required in scholarly publishing.
