Artificial Intelligence Policy
This policy aims to set ethical and scientific standards regarding using artificial intelligence (AI) in manuscripts submitted to the Anadolu University Journal of the Faculty of Education (AUJEF).
This policy's main goal is to ensure the correct use of AI in writing and analyzing academic articles and to protect the principles of data privacy and academic integrity. It will be updated when necessary based on developments in AI tools' use, usage, and capacity. This policy adheres to AUJEF's ethical principles and publication policies.
AI tools can only be used to check the manuscript's grammar, spelling, and stylistic consistency to be submitted to the journal.
AUJEF is committed to not using AI tools at any stage of the manuscript evaluation process.
Considerations in the Use of AI:
1. Transparency and Responsibility (Accountability): Every process where AI is used must be transparent. The stages and methods of use, as well as how the data is collected, should be clearly stated, and the contribution of AI should be expressed. AUJEF will provide the author statement in the relevant section of published articles.
2. Accuracy: The accuracy of the content/information produced by AI should be determined, and the data obtained should be checked and verified through sources.
3. Responsibility: The author is responsible for all data generated by AI. For this reason, the author should meticulously examine the points where AI is utilized and know that his/her responsibility lies with him/her.
4. Impartiality: Authors should clearly declare potential conflicts of interest and act in accordance with the principles of impartiality. Regular auditing and evaluation processes should be established to ensure the impartial use of AI.
5. Privacy and Security: The confidentiality and security of personal data must be protected. The parties' privacy should be respected, and appropriate security measures should be taken in data collection, storage, and processing processes.
6. Source Citation: AI should not be included in footnotes and references. The use of AI should be stated in the ethical statement.
