This month, we introduce a new policy on AI in research writing, peer review, and editing, plus a fresh Picture Prognosis case, featured collections, a new channel, and this month’s most-read blog posts.
New Cureus AI Policy
Cureus now permits AI tools in research writing, peer review, and editing under a Green-Amber-Red framework: permitted and disclosure encouraged, permitted with verification and disclosure, or prohibited. A person stays accountable for every AI-assisted judgment, whether you’re an author, peer reviewer, or editor.
