In accordance with DOAJ discoverability guidelines and international academic transparency standards, JJAASES has adopted the following rules regarding the use of Generative AI tools (e.g. ChatGPT, LLMs) in manuscript cycles.
1. Guidelines for Authors
Authors must disclose whether they used generative AI or AI-assisted technologies in the preparation of their manuscript.
- Permitted Use: AI is permitted solely for improving spelling, grammar, readability, or language editing.
- Prohibited Use: AI must not be used to draft intellectual content, draw research conclusions, or generate original scientific figures/datasets. AI cannot be listed as an author or co-author.
- Disclosure: If AI was used for language improvement, authors must declare this in the submission wizard. The statement will be printed alongside the published article.
2. Guidelines for Reviewers
Reviewers are strictly prohibited from uploading manuscripts or portions of submissions into public AI platforms or generating evaluation reports using LLMs.
WHY: Manuscripts are confidential documents under peer review. Uploading them to public models violates author intellectual property rights and confidentiality guidelines.
3. Guidelines for Editors
Editors must keep manuscripts confidential and are prohibited from utilizing AI platforms for screening, evaluation scoring, or decision notifications drafting.
