Author-selected fields
The disclosure dialog uses checkboxes for each detail. The author decides which project counts and model setup notes belong in the final statement.
Methods disclosure
Generate a methods disclosure statement without taking control away from the author.
OpenVerbatim turns review records into draft disclosure language that a researcher can inspect, narrow, copy, and revise for a methods section.
Author control
The generator does not decide what you must disclose.
It gives researchers structured choices and copy-ready text. The page does not turn project records into a public badge.
Exact counts from the project
The disclosure stats endpoint reads project records for generated coding suggestions and reviewed decisions, then returns counts for the generator.
Copy-ready methods text
The generated statement is plain text that can be copied into a thesis, manuscript, or methods appendix and then edited against the target policy.
Statement flow
From audit records to methods text.
The workflow is designed for researchers who need to declare AI assistance without letting a tool write beyond the evidence it has.
The author opens the methods disclosure tool
OpenVerbatim fetches disclosure stats only when the author explicitly opens the tool.
The author chooses what to disclose
Controls let the author include or exclude generated suggestions, manual confirmations, manual rejections, automated confirmations, and model setup.
The tool drafts neutral methods language
The output is a methods statement draft, not a journal compliance guarantee.
The author copies and edits the statement
The final wording stays with the researcher, supervisor, journal, or IRB workflow.
AI disclosure belongs in the author's methods language
Some disclosure tools turn methods reporting into a public badge. OpenVerbatim keeps that boundary narrower. The product can assemble a draft from project records, but the author controls the included fields and the final text.
That matters for qualitative research because methods language has to match the actual analytic workflow. A thesis chapter, article submission, and IRB update may need different wording even when they describe the same project.
Counts are available without turning them into a public badge
The generator can use exact project counts when the author chooses to include them. Those counts are for the generated statement, not for a public share badge or a page-level claim about the research.

What OpenVerbatim is.
OpenVerbatim is an open-source (Apache-2.0) qualitative data analysis platform for coding and analyzing interview transcripts. AI-suggested codes stay marked as suggestions until a human reviewer confirms or rejects them, and every decision is kept in an audit trail. The full feature set is available when self-hosted; there is no paid feature wall.
FAQ
AI disclosure statement questions
How do I declare AI use in a thesis methods section?
OpenVerbatim can draft a methods disclosure statement from project records. The author chooses which details to include, copies the text, and edits it for the target institution or journal.
Does OpenVerbatim decide what AI disclosure is required?
No. It provides author-controlled disclosure text. The final wording must be checked against the relevant thesis, journal, IRB, or supervisor requirements.
Can I choose what appears in the AI disclosure statement?
Yes. The generator exposes individual controls so researchers can choose the disclosure fields they want to include.
Does the page publish project AI stats?
No. Project counts belong in the statement only when the author actively generates and chooses them. They are not shown as a public badge or marketing claim.
Try the evidence loop
Keep methods disclosure tied to reviewed project records.
OpenVerbatim drafts disclosure language from author-selected fields so the final statement can stay specific to the study.
