Exploring the Endorsement and Implementation of Artificial Intelligence Guidelines in Leading Orthopaedic and Sports Medicine Journals

While most of the OSM journals had established policies on AI usage, there was a notable lack of standardization, particularly with respect to AI-generated images. Additionally, the absence of AI-specific RG endorsements highlights a gap in methodological guidance. Standardizing AI policies and encouraging the adoption of RGs could enhance the transparency, reproducibility, and ethical integrity of AI-driven research in OSM.
