The Rights to the City book series adheres to the publisher’s policies on the use of artificial intelligence (AI) tools.
Using AI-based tools and technologies for chapter/book content generation—e.g. large language models (LLMs), generative AI, and chatbots (e.g. ChatGPT)—is not in line with Taylor & Francis’s authorship criteria. Authors are wholly responsible for the originality, validity, and integrity of the content of their work. Authorship requires taking accountability for content, consenting to publication via an author publishing agreement, giving contractual assurances about the integrity of the work, among other principles. These are uniquely human responsibilities that cannot be undertaken by AI tools. Therefore, LLMs and other similar types of tools do not meet the criteria for authorship.
Any assistance from AI tools for content generation and other similar types of technical tools that generate text content must be clearly acknowledged within the book. AI tools must not be listed as an author. It is the responsibility of authors to ensure the validity, originality, and integrity of their book content. Authors are expected to use these types of tools responsibly and in accordance with Taylor and Francis’s editorial policies on authorship and principles of publishing ethics.
