Policy on the Use of AI and AI-Assisted Technologies

The scientific journal acknowledges the possibility of using artificial intelligence (AI) tools and digital technologies as auxiliary means in the preparation of scientific publications, provided that the principles of academic integrity, transparency, and author responsibility are observed. The use of AI does not release authors from responsibility for the originality, reliability, and scientific validity of the submitted materials.

 

PERMISSIBLE USES OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE.

Authors may use AI tools exclusively as auxiliary instruments for:

  • language editing and stylistic improvement of the text without altering its scientific content;
  • translation of texts;
  • preparation of the manuscript structure or summarizing the authors’ own materials;
  • technical formatting of the text in accordance with the journal’s requirements.

If AI is used, the author must indicate this in the “Acknowledgements” or “Notes” section of the article. Generate a GAIDeT declaration via the link https://panbibliotekar.github.io/gaidet-declaration/index-uk.html 

 

PROHIBITED USES OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE.

In order to maintain academic integrity, the use of AI is prohibited for:

  • creating the core scientific content of the article, including the formulation of hypotheses, scientific conclusions, theoretical provisions, and research results;
  • generation or falsification of empirical data, calculation results, statistical samples, experimental results, or case studies;
  • misrepresentation of authorship, including submitting materials fully or predominantly generated by AI as one’s own scientific work;
  • manipulation of bibliographic sources, including the creation of fictitious or incorrect references, DOIs, journal titles, or author names;
  • automated writing of peer reviews or editorial conclusions, as well as the involvement of AI in editorial decision-making processes;
  • undisclosed use of AI without proper disclosure of its application.

 

RESPONSIBILITY AND SANCTIONS.

In case of violations of the AI usage policy, the editorial board reserves the right to:

  • reject the manuscript at any stage of review;
  • retract an already published article;
  • inform the institution represented by the author;
  • temporarily or permanently restrict the possibility of further publications in the journal.

 

The editorial board reserves the right to update this policy in accordance with technological developments and international standards of publication ethics.
