IJONASS acknowledges the proliferating integration of artificial intelligence (AI) instruments within the domains of academic research and scholarly publication. Assistive AI applications, including but not limited to orthographic and grammatical correction tools, may be employed to enhance the technical calibre of author-composed manuscripts. Generative AI systems, however, occupy a categorically distinct position: where such technologies, encompassing large language models including, inter alia, ChatGPT, Gemini, or Claude, are enlisted for the purposes of textual generation or data analysis, authors are obligated to provide an explicit and comprehensive declaration delineating the nature and extent of their deployment. It must be unequivocally affirmed that recourse to AI-assisted tools does not, under any circumstances, attenuate the authors' full accountability with respect to the originality, veracity, and scholarly integrity of the submitted work.

Authors bear full and unequivocal responsibility for the entirety of the content contained within manuscripts submitted to IJONASS. AI instruments may not be designated as authors or co-authors of any scholarly work. Content generated through AI systems may not be incorporated into a submission without subjection to rigorous human review and independent verification. The fabrication of misleading content, the generation of synthetic data, the production of spurious references, or the manipulation of images constitute unambiguous violations of academic ethical standards. Any output proposed or produced by AI tools must be independently corroborated for accuracy and veracity by the author or authors concerned.

Throughout the peer review process, reviewers are strictly prohibited from uploading submitted manuscripts, data, or images to any generative AI system. Such practices are fundamentally incompatible with the governing principles of confidentiality and data security inherent to the scholarly review process. The sole permissible exception pertains to tools that function exclusively within a local environment, necessitating no internet connectivity and transmitting no data to external servers.

IJONASS advocates for the responsible, transparent, and ethically grounded utilization of AI instruments in the conduct of research and academic writing. The present policy is subject to revision in accordance with the trajectory of technological advancements and evolving institutional standards.

The declaration form regarding the use of generative artificial intelligence tools during the preparation of the article must be completed and signed. The Artificial Intelligence Use Ethics Declaration form should be downloaded from here, filled out, scanned, and uploaded as a PDF to the additional files section of the article submission process. Submissions from authors who do not submit this form will not be considered for publication.
