AI disclosure is rapidly becoming mandatory across scholarly publishing, but broad labels such as “AI-assisted” offer limited clarity. Without structured classification, disclosure remains ambiguous and difficult to interpret within editorial and governance frameworks. Publishers need to develop clear AI taxonomies that distinguish among different use cases, including writing support, translation, modeling, image processing, and data cleaning. Structured classification enables consistent editorial decision-making, meaningful metadata capture, and scalable oversight across journals and disciplines. As AI becomes embedded in research workflows, moving from disclosure to defined categories will be essential for strengthening transparency, accountability, and long-term governance in scholarly communication.
