Summary

The ISJ senior-editor editorial on the GenAI submission surge: the journal now receives on the order of 20 new submissions a day, many suspected GenAI-assisted and many wildly out of scope, and it restates ISJ policy that GenAI may not be used for any intellectual activity in conducting research or creating content. This is the IS-discipline statement on peer-review congestion caused by machine-written manuscripts.
