AI disclosure in scholarly publishing is still evolving, yet its next phase is already coming into view. Beyond transparency and emerging classification frameworks, structured disclosure is likely to function increasingly as a practical risk signal within publishing operations. Different types of AI use carry different implications for editorial scrutiny, peer review, and production validation.
