Artificial Inteligence Policy
Ankara Hacı Bayram Veli University Journal of Faculty of Law (HBV-HFD) adopts academic integrity and scientific ethics as its fundamental principles. Accordingly, the use of generative artificial intelligence (GAI) tools in the studies submitted to our journal is evaluated within certain ethical frameworks and is organized within the framework of the following rules.
1. Rules for Authors
1.1. Content created using generative artificial intelligence (ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, etc.) or other artificial intelligence-based tools is not accepted to be directly incorporated into the main text of the study. Legal analysis, interpretations and inferences should be made in line with the academic competence of the author(s).
1.2. If generative artificial intelligence tools are utilized in any way, the name of the tools used, for what purpose and to what extent they were used should be clearly stated in the study.
1.3. Studies in which generative AI tools are used but not declared will be directly rejected and evaluated within the framework of ethical violation. Such cases may be reported to the relevant academic ethics committees as they constitute a violation of academic publication ethics.
1.4. Generative AI tools cannot be cited as authors. Artificial intelligence systems cannot be considered as authors in any study since they cannot assume intellectual property and academic responsibility.
1.5. Generative AI tools can only be used for limited purposes such as abstracts, extended abstracts or grammatical editing. However, translating an entire work with generative AI tools is not accepted.
2. Rules for Reviewers and Editors
2.1. During the peer review processes, it is strictly forbidden for the referees or editors to upload the manuscripts submitted by the author(s) to any artificial intelligence platform. This type of action:
Violation of the principle of blind review
Violation of scientific secrecy
Legal issues in terms of intellectual property rights
and will be considered within the scope of ethical violation.
2.2. Editors and referees should show the necessary academic rigor in identifying content produced by artificial intelligence, and operate ethical violation procedures in such cases.
