Research	R0031 — Plural Voice Claims (Blind)
Run	2026-03-29
Claim	C006

Claim: Every major journal and conference -- Nature, Science, ACM, IEEE, NeurIPS, and all five major academic publishers -- has issued a formal policy prohibiting AI as an author.

BLUF: Partially correct. Nature, Science, ACM, IEEE, and all five major publishers (Elsevier, Springer Nature, Wiley, Taylor & Francis, SAGE) do prohibit AI authorship. However, NeurIPS does NOT prohibit AI authorship -- it welcomes any tool and only requires methodology disclosure. The claim overstates NeurIPS's position.

Probability: Likely (55-80%) | Confidence: High
