Abstract

Generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) tools, and particularly large language models (LLMs), have become an inescapable reality of modern life, with their potential to permeate the distinct dimensions of human activity, including fundamental ones, such as the communication of knowledge and information, which are at the core of scientific publishing. Thus, it behooves those of us involved in academic and editorial arenas to exert careful control over the management of those tools. This is much needed to avoid falling into ethically questionable practices (e.g., reproducing biases, spreading misinformation, plagiarism, and lack of transparency, among many others), for which only we can be held liable.
