He & Bu 2026 conclude that journal AI policies have largely failed: analyzing 5,114 journals and over 5.2 million papers, they find 70% of journals adopted policies (primarily requiring disclosure), yet AI writing tool use rose with no significant difference between journals with and without policies, and only about 0.1% of papers published since 2023 disclosed AI use.
