Using of generative Artificial Intelligence to assist in writing academic conference papers: The state of permissibility in late 2026. Data Document

Full description

OpenAI’s GPT-5.6 Sol was used to search the internet for scientific conferences on a discipline by discipline basis and to extract and collate policies regarding the use of genAI in manuscript preparation. The searches were caried out on 20 September 2026. All identified policy documents were downloaded and manually examined to ensure that the data extraction was correct. A random sample of 20% of those conference sites that GPT-5.6 had classified as being silent on the use of genAI was manually verified to assess the accuracy of classification. No false negatives were found.
