ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE IN PUBLISHING
Artificial intelligence (AI) is increasingly used in academic publishing. However, the boundaries of this use are a critical issue. The distinction between authorship and assistance must be clearly defined. While AI can improve efficiency, it also raises concerns about ethics and reliability.
17. AI may be used in a limited way during the writing process. When authors employ generative AI or AI-assisted technologies, these tools should be used solely to enhance the readability and language of the work. They must not replace core authorship tasks such as generating scientific, pedagogical, or scholarly insights, concluding, or making recommendations. The application of these technologies must be under human oversight and control, and all content should be carefully reviewed and edited, as AI may produce outputs that are inaccurate, incomplete, or biased. Authors remain fully responsible and accountable for the content of their work.
18. Authors must not list generative AI or AI-assisted technologies as an author or co-author, nor cite AI as an author. Authorship entails responsibilities and tasks that can only be attributed to and fulfilled by humans. Each author is responsible for ensuring that questions regarding the accuracy or integrity of any part of the work are properly investigated and resolved, and authorship requires the authority to approve the final version of the work and consent to its submission. Authors are also responsible for ensuring that the work is original, that the listed authors are eligible for authorship, and that the work does not infringe on third-party rights. Authors should review the journal’s Publication Policy before submission.
19. The journal does not permit the use of generative AI or AI-assisted tools to create or alter images in submitted works. This includes enhancing, concealing, moving, removing, or adding elements within an image or figure. Adjustments to brightness, contrast, or color balance are acceptable, provided they do not obscure or remove any original information.
