Policy on the Use of Artificial Intelligence (AI)

Policy on the Use of Artificial Intelligence (AI)

The journal supports the ethical, transparent, and responsible use of artificial intelligence (AI) and AI-assisted technologies in scholarly writing. Authors may use AI tools for language editing, grammar improvement, formatting assistance, data analysis support, or technical assistance. However, AI must not replace the authors’ original ideas, academic responsibility, critical analysis, or intellectual contribution.

Authors are required to disclose any significant use of AI or AI-assisted tools in the manuscript. The disclosure should clearly explain the tool used and how it contributed to the preparation of the manuscript. Authors remain fully responsible for the accuracy, originality, validity, and integrity of all submitted content.

AI-generated content must not be used to fabricate data, manipulate results, create false references, or misrepresent research findings. All sources, data, figures, tables, and references must be accurate, verifiable, and properly cited.

The journal sets a maximum AI-generated content limit of 15%. Manuscripts may be checked using AI detection tools, including Turnitin AI Service or other relevant screening tools. If the AI-generated content exceeds 15%, the manuscript may be returned for revision, rejected, or subject to further editorial evaluation.

This policy is intended to ensure that AI is used only as a supporting tool and does not reduce the role of human expertise, academic judgment, and research integrity.
