AI use statement
Many journals and universities ask you to say how you used AI in your work. Papero can insert a short AI use statement into your document for you. You then fill in what you used it for, and edit the rest as you like.
Insert the statement
Section titled “Insert the statement”Put your cursor where the statement should go, then use one of these:
- In the toolbar, open Insert and choose AI use statement.
- Press Document options (the three dots at the top right) and choose Insert AI use statement under Insert.
- Type / in the page and choose AI use statement from the list.
Papero adds the statement as a new paragraph after the block your cursor is in. It never goes between a table and its caption. Your cursor lands at the end of the statement, so the next key you press does not replace it.
A document holds one statement. If yours already has one, the same command takes you to the end of it instead of adding a second, wherever you moved it.
What the statement says
Section titled “What the statement says”The statement starts with "AI use statement:" in bold, followed by this text:
I used Papero (papero.ai), an AI writing assistant that runs on OpenAI language models, while writing this document. I used it for [say what for, for example suggesting sentences, rewriting passages, outlining or drafting sections]. Every citation refers to a source I chose, and I take full responsibility for the content, including any text the AI suggested.
It claims only what Papero can know, and what you must decide yourself:
- the tool you used and the company whose models it runs on;
- a bracket for you to fill in with what you used it for;
- that each citation refers to a source you chose;
- that you take responsibility for the content.
It never says that you checked every citation or that Papero drafted your text. You may or may not have done either, so that part is yours to add.
Fill it in
Section titled “Fill it in”- Select the text in square brackets, including the brackets.
- Type what you used Papero for, such as suggesting sentences or outlining sections.
- Read the whole statement and change anything that does not match how you worked.
The statement is ordinary text. You can edit it, move it or delete it like any other paragraph. Rewrite this block with AI in the left margin is not offered on it, so a quick rewrite cannot change your declaration by accident.
The statement is always inserted in English, whatever your document's language. Translate it yourself if your document is in another language.
Check your institution's rules
Section titled “Check your institution's rules”Rules on AI use differ between universities, departments and journals. Some ask for a statement in a set place, such as the methods section, the acknowledgements or a cover letter. Some ask for more detail, such as the prompts you used. Read the guidance you were given and adjust the statement to fit it.
The statement is not offered in an archived document, which is read-only. Restore the document first.
