UpToDate is going the way of the old medical textbook. They have been taking our money for long enough. Nice to see it being replaced by easy to access free information.

AI is already in the manuscript. The rules are still catching up. @JAMA_current draws a clear line between assistance and authorship, but that line will keep moving.....

Table headed 'JAMA Network Journals Guidance for Acceptable Use of AI', listing use types against whether each is acceptable. Research, literature search, manuscript preparation, translation and formatting or graphic visualisation of data are permitted provided the use is fully described and authors take full responsibility for all content; checking grammar or spelling is permitted with no disclosure needed; bibliographic references are discouraged. Presenting AI-generated data as original research, drafting letters, online comments or Opinion manuscripts, clinical images and illustrations, clinical video and audio, peer review, and author responses to reviewers are all marked No, with peer review noted as a violation of confidentiality.
