Alignment with COPE AI Guidelines

AI tools may assist authors as instruments, but they cannot be credited as authors because they cannot assume responsibility, accountability, or authorship obligations.

Detection & Prevention

  • Turnitin & AI Writing Detection: Every manuscript is screened to detect both textual similarity and potential AI-generated content.
  • Threshold: A similarity score above the journal’s acceptable level or a suspiciously high AI probability will trigger detailed editorial review, revision request, or rejection.
  • Monitoring: Editors and reviewers assess manuscripts using both software tools and expert manual evaluation.

Consequences & Retraction

  • Pre-Publication: Manuscripts with confirmed plagiarism, duplicate submission, or serious AI misconduct are rejected outright.
  • Post-Publication: Published articles found to violate this policy may be formally retracted, corrected, or marked with an editorial notice.
  • Sanctions: Authors may be temporarily or permanently restricted from future submissions, and relevant institutions may be notified where appropriate.

Author Responsibilities

  • Guarantee the originality of the manuscript and properly cite all relevant sources.
  • Disclose any AI-assisted writing, editing, translation, or analytical support in the appropriate submission documents.
  • Avoid duplicate publication, redundant publication, and excessive self-citation.
  • Ensure that the manuscript is not simultaneously submitted to another journal or publication venue.
  • Use reliable academic tools for citation management and language improvement where appropriate, while maintaining full intellectual responsibility for the final manuscript.
