Reporting guideline for the use of Generative Artificial intelligence tools in MEdical Research: the GAMER Statement.

Journal: BMJ evidence-based medicine
Published Date: May 13, 2025

Abstract

OBJECTIVES: Generative artificial intelligence (GAI) tools can enhance the quality and efficiency of medical research, but their improper use may result in plagiarism, academic fraud and unreliable findings. Transparent reporting of GAI use is essential, yet existing guidelines from journals and institutions are inconsistent, with no standardised principles.
