动笔回复前,建议先把审稿人的「观察描述」和「结论判断」分开来看。比如 “This paragraph is repetitive(本段内容存在重复)” 是针对写作质量的具体意见,而 “The authors used AI(作者使用了人工智能)” 则是对稿件制备过程的判断。很多时候,要求补充 AI 使用声明只是期刊的常规流程,不代表已经定性你违规使用了 AI。
不同类型的质疑,回复时需要回应的核心信息也不同:
审稿人关注点
回复中需明确的核心信息
The text appears AI-generated. (文本疑似 AI 生成)
使用了哪些工具、用于哪些任务、有哪些写作过程记录可佐证
The writing is generic or repetitive.(表述平淡、内容重复)
你如何修改对应段落、如何强化内容与研究主题的关联
The AI declaration is missing or incomplete.(AI 声明缺失或不完整)
如果核查后确认确实使用了 AI,请先对照期刊政策确认使用方式是否在允许范围内。例如 Taylor & Francis 出版集团政策明确区分了 “允许的语言润色” 和 “禁止的稿件 / 章节初稿生成”,后者即便披露也属于违规。也就是说,主动披露不代表所有使用方式都能被接受。
场景 1:有限度使用 AI / 补充遗漏的 AI 披露
一份合格的 AI 披露,必须明确四个要素:工具名称、具体任务、涉及内容、人工审核过程。如果 AI 实际参与了段落翻译、论点重组等工作,就不能笼统描述为 “grammar only(仅用于语法校对)”。
参考回复(说明有限使用)
We used [tool and recorded version] to [specific task] in [sections]. We reviewed the resulting changes against [original text or research records], checking [specific features checked]. The tool’s role was limited to [accurate scope]. We expanded the declaration at [page and lines] to describe this use and the authors’ review.
Our original submission omitted the required disclosure of [specific use]. We apologize for this omission. We added the tool, purpose, affected sections, and review process to [required location] and corrected [applicable submission field]. The revised statement reads: “[Insert the disclosure.]”
我们在此致歉:初次提交时遗漏了针对 [具体使用场景] 的必要披露。目前我们已在 [指定位置,如 “正文 AI 声明章节、投稿系统信息栏”] 补充了相关内容,说明所用工具、使用目的、涉及部分与审核流程,并同步修正了投稿系统中的对应字段。修订后的披露内容如下: 「插入完整披露文本」
AI 工具可能生成看似合理、但实际不存在或不匹配的参考文献。收到相关质疑时,先逐一核对原始文献与对应论断,如有 AI 参与需如实说明,再讲清更正内容与对全文论点的影响。
参考回复
We checked [reference] against the original publication and confirmed that it does not support [claim] as written. [Accurate explanation of AI involvement, if applicable.] We removed the unsupported statement and revised [affected passage] at [page and lines]. Our examination of the affected argument found [effect on the interpretation or conclusions]. We also checked [specific related claims or references] and made [additional corrections].
提示:仅核查了一篇文献时,不要声称 “所有参考文献均已检查”;未完整评估错误影响时,不要直接下 “the conclusions are unchanged(结论不变)” 的定论。
场景 3:说明 AI 在代码编写 / 数据分析中的辅助作用
这类使用请与语言类编辑分开说明,明确交代验证过程,并在方法部分补充对应信息。
参考回复
[Tool] was used to suggest code for [task]. [Author/role] reviewed and modified the code, then checked its output using [validation procedure]. We added the tool’s role and validation details to the Methods section at [page and lines]. [Code or supporting material] is available at [appropriate location]. The checks identified [findings], and we [resulting action, if any].
After checking the manuscript preparation process with all coauthors, we confirm that generative AI was not used to draft, translate, or revise the manuscript text. The initial draft was prepared by [author/role] and revised through [process]. We retained [available drafts or revision records] and can provide relevant material through the journal’s preferred channel.
Could the editor identify the passages underlying this concern? Identifying these passages would help us address any specific problems with the wording, supporting evidence, or interpretation.
请将回复重点放在稿件内容本身,不要纠缠检测器的准确性。检测器分数只是概率估计,不能直接证明写作过程,过早争论技术细节反而会偏离论文核心。先简要说明 AI 使用情况,再聚焦具体的写作问题优化即可,不必认同 “文本由 AI 生成” 的判定。
参考回复(已指出具体段落)
Thank you for raising this concern. We confirm that generative AI was not used to [specific tasks performed]. We carefully reviewed the identified passages and revised [specific wording or section] to improve [clarity, precision, or the connection to the study’s findings]. The changes appear at [page and lines]. We hope these revisions clarify our intended meaning.
Thank you for bringing this concern to our attention. We confirm that generative AI was not used to [defined tasks]. We reviewed the manuscript for clarity and precision and [describe any revisions made]. If there are particular passages that remain unclear, we would appreciate your guidance so that we can address them directly.
可以在同一条回复里既澄清事实,也落实修改。注意不要把修改理由说成 “为了看起来不像 AI 写的”,而是针对具体的写作问题做优化。
参考回复
Generative AI was not used to prepare this passage. However, we agree that the original paragraph was repetitive and did not clearly connect the finding to our research question. We removed the repeated summary and revised the interpretation to distinguish the observed association from a causal explanation.
The revised passage at [page and lines] now reads: “[Insert the exact revised text.]” This change clarifies the scope of the finding and avoids the broader claim in the original version.
We confirm that [statement about AI use]. We did not retain a complete version history for [section or period], so we cannot provide a continuous record of its drafting. We can provide [existing notes, earlier submission files, or other relevant material] and explain how the passage was developed from [research records or analysis]. Please let us know which part of the preparation process requires further clarification.
During the preparation of our response, we confirmed that [specific use] occurred in [scope]. We understand that the journal’s policy states [policy provision]. We completed [checks], but would appreciate guidance on how the journal wishes us to proceed regarding [specific unresolved issue].
