Artificial Intelligence Policy of the Journal of Young Intellectuals
1. General Principle
The Journal of Young Intellectuals is committed to research ethics, transparency, and reliability in all academic publishing processes. Within this framework, the journal adopts a clear and responsible approach to the use of artificial intelligence (AI) tools.
2. Use of Artificial Intelligence by Authors
The use of AI-based tools for writing, editing, summarizing, or language enhancement is not strictly prohibited; however, it is subject to the following conditions:
Transparency
Any use of AI tools (e.g., ChatGPT, Grammarly, DeepL, Copilot, etc.) must be clearly disclosed in the “Acknowledgements” or “Author’s Note” section at the end of the manuscript.
Example statement:
“In this study, the artificial intelligence tool ChatGPT developed by OpenAI was used to a limited extent for language editing purposes.”
Responsibility
Authors bear full responsibility for the accuracy, originality, and academic integrity of all content produced or assisted by AI tools. In cases where AI-generated content contains errors, fabrications, or misleading information, responsibility lies entirely with the author(s), not with the AI system.
Risk of Plagiarism
Although AI-generated content may not constitute direct textual plagiarism, it may include elements that fall under conceptual or intellectual plagiarism. Therefore, the use of AI tools must be limited, cautious, and fully compliant with ethical standards.
3. Use of Artificial Intelligence by Reviewers and Editors
Reviewers and editors may use AI tools only for supportive purposes, such as spelling checks, language refinement, or plagiarism detection. However:
Peer review reports and editorial decisions must not be generated solely by AI and must always be reviewed and finalized by a human expert.
Confidentiality is essential. Before uploading any manuscript content to AI systems, reviewers and editors must carefully assess data protection and confidentiality obligations.
4. Artificial Intelligence Cannot Be Listed as a Co-Author
Although AI tools may assist in the preparation of manuscripts, artificial intelligence systems cannot be granted authorship status, as they cannot assume ethical, scientific, or legal responsibility.
