AI Policy Endorsement in Top 100 Endocrinology Journals, 2024-2025

A cross-sectional analysis of artificial intelligence usage policies across the top 100 endocrinology journals, ranked by SCImago Journal Ranking. The dataset, created by Eva Chen and updated in April 2026, contains findings from a review of journal 'Instructions for Authors' conducted from November 2024 to July 2025. It reports the prevalence of AI mention, disclosure requirements, permitted use cases, and endorsement of specific reporting guidelines.

Use Cases

• Benchmark AI policy adoption rates across endocrinology journals based on the reported percentages.
• Analyze correlations between journal ranking metrics and AI policy implementation based on the reported lack of significant correlation.
• Identify gaps in specific AI reporting guideline endorsement (e.g., CONSORT-AI, SPIRIT-AI) based on the low adoption rates mentioned.
• Study permitted versus prohibited AI use cases (authorship, writing, content/image generation) based on the detailed policy breakdown.

Strengths

• Data extracted independently and in duplicate using a standardized form, as stated in the methods.
• Reproducibility supported by protocol registration on Open Science Framework.
• Analysis covers the top 100 endocrinology journals, providing a defined population scope.
• Specific percentages are provided for each policy category (e.g., 84.0% mentioned AI, 79.0% required disclosure).

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• The dataset is very small (14.8 KB), indicating limited scope, likely a summary table.
