AUTHOR RESOURCES
Healthcare Management Forum (HMF), part of the SAGE family of journals, recognises the value of large language models such as ChatGPT and generative artificial intelligence (AI) as productivity tools that can help authors in preparing their articles for submission. These tools can assist when generating initial ideas and help to summarize, paraphrase, and polish the language. However, it is important to note that all language models have limitations and are unable to replicate human creative and critical thinking.
If authors choose to use these tools for their submission to HMF, we ask that they adhere to the following basic guidelines: clearly indicate the use of language models in the manuscript, including which model was used and for what purpose, and use the methods or acknowledgements section, as appropriate; verify the accuracy, validity, and appropriateness of the content and any citations generated by language models and correct any errors or inconsistencies; provide a list of sources used to generate content and citations, including those generated by language models, and double-check citations to ensure they are accurate, and are properly referenced; be conscious of the potential for plagiarism where the language model may have reproduced substantial text from other sources, and check the original sources to be sure you are not plagiarising someone else’s work; acknowledge the limitations of language models in the manuscript, including the potential for bias, errors, and gaps in knowledge; and never list AI bots such as ChatGPT as an author.
Peer reviewers also have a responsibility when evaluating manuscripts that have used AI productivity tools. Reviewers should evaluate the appropriateness of the use of large language models and ensure that the generated content is accurate and valid.
