Where this comes from

Abstract

AI disclosure mandates have rapidly become standard in scientific publishing, a genuine success of scholarly self-governance. Yet across 10,000 bioRxiv preprints, disclosure tracks only modestly with code and data sharing. The next phase of policy should pair "whether" with "how," alongside independent transparency requirements.
