Artificial Intelligence Usage Policy

The Journal of Humanities and Applied Sciences acknowledges that artificial intelligence (AI) tools may be used as supportive tools in the preparation of research. However, it emphasizes that full responsibility for the content, accuracy, and originality of the research rests entirely with the authors. This policy aims to ensure the responsible use of AI in a manner that upholds academic integrity and enhances transparency.

1. Use of Artificial Intelligence by Authors

  • The use of AI tools is permitted for limited purposes, such as language proofreading, improving wording, or organizing texts.

  • The use of AI to generate data, analyze data, or formulate results or conclusions without full human supervision is prohibited.

  • Authorship may not be attributed to any AI tool; authors alone bear full scientific responsibility for the research.

2. Disclosure and Transparency

Authors must disclose any use of AI tools in a separate section or within the methodology, clearly specifying the type of tool used and the nature of its use, in order to ensure transparency and enable proper scientific evaluation.

3. Role of Reviewers and the Editorial Board

  • Reviewers and members of the editorial board are required to evaluate submissions according to established scientific standards, taking into account any disclosed use of AI.

  • The editorial board reserves the right to reject manuscripts in which the use of AI is proven to affect the originality or scientific integrity of the research.

4. Misuse

  • Failure to disclose the use of AI tools, or reliance on them to produce substantive scientific content without human supervision, is considered a form of scientific misconduct.

  • In such cases, the journal’s procedures related to publication ethics and the handling of violations shall be applied, including rejection of the manuscript, retraction, or the issuance of an official notice.

The Journal of Humanities and Applied Sciences affirms that this policy seeks to strike a balance between the responsible use of modern technology and the preservation of the originality of scientific research, thereby enhancing the confidence of the academic community in published research and supporting its eligibility for international indexing.
