LLM assisted writing deserves empirical evaluation

Abstract:LLM-assisted writing is often treated as a detection problem, as it raises questions about clarity, integrity, equity, and evaluation. An analysis of 69,209 Health Informatics papers links it to more focused presentation, broader citation practices, and more globally distributed authorship. These patterns do not prove better science, but they support evaluating manuscripts by scholarly quality and accountability rather than by tool use.
