Declaration of generative AI and AI-assisted technologies in the writing process

Authors must disclose any use of generative AI in the writing process when submitting their manuscript. This requirement applies only to writing and not to AI-assisted data analysis. AI tools should solely enhance readability and language while remaining under human supervision, as they can produce misleading or biased content. Authors must review and refine AI-generated text, as they bear full responsibility for their work. AI cannot be credited as an author, as authorship requires human accountability. A disclosure statement must be included before the references section in the published article, except for basic grammar or reference-checking tools. If AI was not used, no statement is necessary.

All papers should be submitted electronically. All submitted manuscripts must be original work that is not under submission at another journal or under consideration for publication in another form, such as a monograph or chapter of a book. Authors of submitted papers are obligated not to submit their paper for publication elsewhere until an editorial decision is rendered on their submission. Further, authors of accepted papers are prohibited from publishing the results in other publications that appear before the paper is published in JSCI unless they receive approval for doing so from the Editor-in-Chief.
