Reviewer will decline papers largely written by AI, citing author effort
IanArawjo · x · 2026-10-16
Researcher Jakub Drapal says he will now check a paper's AI disclosure section before accepting review invitations, and immediately decline if the article was largely written by AI (e.g. "transforming notes into an article"). In his review comments he argues that reviewers volunteer their free time on the assumption authors did their best — and having AI assemble a paper from lecture notes does not qualify. The stance adds fuel to ongoing academic debate over AI writing norms and peer-review obligations.
