AI Policy

InJODACSIT follows the COPE position on authorship and AI tools. This policy covers generative artificial intelligence (AI) tools such as large language models and image generators.

Authors

• AI tools cannot be listed as authors, because they cannot take responsibility for the work.
• Authors must disclose any use of generative AI in a statement before the References section, naming the tool, its version and the purpose of use (for example language editing, code generation or data analysis).
• Using AI only to check grammar and spelling does not need to be disclosed.
• Authors remain fully responsible for the accuracy, originality and integrity of the content, including any output produced with AI. AI-generated images or data presented as research results are not permitted unless AI is part of the research method and is described as such.

Editors

• Editors may use AI tools only for limited tasks such as language checks or reviewer search, and must not upload unpublished manuscripts to public AI tools.
• Editorial decisions are made by the editors, not by AI tools.

Reviewers

• Reviewers must not upload manuscripts or any part of them to generative AI tools, and must not use AI tools to write their review reports, in order to protect confidentiality and the integrity of the assessment.

Undisclosed or inappropriate use of AI is handled according to the Publication Ethics policy.
