The journal Organizational Behavior and Human Decision Processes (OBHDP) has introduced a governance framework for generative AI in research [1]. This move aims to guide ethical use while maintaining high scientific standards [1]. The guidelines describe AI as a virtual collaborator rather than a primary author [1]. Authors must follow strict transparency rules when using these tools [1]. The framework requires researchers to disclose how AI contributed to their work [1]. This includes detailing the specific tasks performed by the software during the study [1]. These steps ensure that human accountability remains central to the publication process [1]. By setting clear boundaries, the journal seeks to manage the risks associated with automated content [1]. The OBHDP editorial board emphasizes that responsible innovation is key to academic integrity [1].
