AI

Accepted manuscripts are published on the understanding they are an original and previously unpublished piece of work. In this regard, all newly submitted items undergo automated originality checking, with peer-reviewers also frequently scrutinising manuscripts to this end also. In line with best practice guidance from COPE, Reinvention has adopted a policy relating to the use of artificial intelligence (AI) tools in the creation of manuscripts submitted to the journal for publication consideration. 

Reinvention insists that:

• AI tools cannot be listed as the author or co-author of a paper for Reinvention.
• Where AI tools are utilised in the creation of ANY element of a manuscript (e.g. images, graphical elements, text, collection or analysis of data), this usage must be transparent and disclosed throughout.
• Details of what, how and where such AI tools were utilised or applied in the creation of the manuscript, should be highlighted by inclusion within a Methods, or similar, section of the manuscript.
• Authors are responsible for all of their paper's content, therefore they are liable for any breach of publication ethics or practice. 

Failure to comply with any element of this policy will be considered grounds for the removal of a manuscript from consideration by Reinvention, or retraction if uncovered post-publication. Authors wishing to explore how this policy may affect their current manuscripts or future submissions, are advised to contact the EIC ahead of submission.

Authorship

All authors who have contributed to the submitted paper should be acknowledged in the submitted paper and in the submission form. Papers should only be submitted for consideration once consent is given by all contributing authors.

A contributing author will have:

• Made a substantial contribution to the concept, design or content of the paper.
• Drafted the article or revised it critically for important intellectual content.
• Participated sufficiently in the paper to take responsibility for their sections of content. 
• Approved the version to be published.

Acquisition of funding, collection of data, or general supervision of the research group does not constitute authorship, although all contributors who do not meet the criteria for authorship should be listed in the Acknowledgments section. Please refer to the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors (ICMJE) authorship guidelines for more information on authorship.
