LLM penetration varies sharply across fields at every stage of research: Lee et al. 2025 report corpus-level detection of 6.5–16.9% LLM-modified peer reviews at AI conferences but no significant evidence of LLM-based modifications in Nature journals, mirroring Kobak et al. 2025's observation that LLM-writing prevalence differs across disciplines, countries, and journals.

Partly supported

The cited texts support the 6.5–16.9% AI-conference peer-review figure (though it is Liang et al.'s analysis reported by Lee et al.), the null Nature-journal result, and Kobak's discipline/country/journal variation, but nothing establishes variation 'at every stage of research' — only peer review and abstract writing are covered.
