PHCPPros' Generative AI Policy

PHCPPros recognizes the benefits and risks of generative AI (e.g., ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, and Midjourney) as it relates to the writing and research of our authors and columnists across our magazines. The following is our official policy regarding generative AI.

Authorship. Authors are accountable and legally responsible for the entirety of their work. Therefore, AI and Large Language Models (LLMs) tools do not qualify as authors and cannot be listed as such in any article in any of our publications. PHCPPros’ editors will not accept any work that is substantially or partially written by an AI or LLM tool.

Transparency. If the use of AI or an LLM has been used in the research of an article topic, authors must disclose their use of AI or LLMs in the work they are submitting for possible publication. This must be done in two ways. First, the use of AI or LLMs must be acknowledged by a general statement of such use at the beginning of an article. Second, any use of generative AI or LLMs in text, images, graphs, tables, or other parts of the work must be cited as would be done with any external source.

Responsibility and Accountability. The author is fully responsible for the entirety of their work. They must ensure that it is original, accurate, does not plagiarize others' work, and appropriately cites and references others’ work, including any research content that is generated by AI or LLMs for research only. The author accepts full responsibility and is solely accountable for any liability that may ensue from the use of AI or LLMs.

We will continue to monitor developments with these rapidly evolving technologies and are committed to adapting our policies accordingly.
