Large Language Models Policy
Large language models (LLMs) are artificial intelligence tools that authors can use in various ways to conduct research and to develop manuscripts. LLMs cannot be listed as authors on any submission to RTI Press, as they cannot assume responsibility and be held accountable for the content of the manuscript. If authors use LLMs to conduct research and/or to develop their manuscripts, they must disclose such use in the main text of the manuscript, including specifying which LLMs were used, in a manner similar to how they describe the use of other research tools and in line with any relevant client requirements. If a substantial portion of the text in a manuscript is LLM-generated, disclosure should come early in the manuscript to ensure readers’ awareness.
