Artificial Intelligence (AI) Use Policy
KPCJ acknowledges the growing use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and AI-assisted tools in academic writing and research. In alignment with international publishing standards set by COPE, ICMJE, and WAME, the following policy applies to all manuscripts submitted to this journal.
AI Cannot Be Listed as Author
AI tools and large language models (LLMs) such as ChatGPT, Gemini, or Copilot cannot be listed as an author or co-author of a manuscript. Authorship requires accountability and the ability to provide consent, which AI systems cannot fulfill.
Disclosure is Mandatory
If AI tools were used in any part of manuscript preparation — including writing assistance, language editing, data analysis, image generation, or literature review — authors must disclose this clearly in the Methods section or Acknowledgments.
Authors Remain Fully Responsible
Authors bear full responsibility for the accuracy, integrity, and originality of all content in their manuscript, regardless of whether AI tools were used. AI-generated errors, fabrications, or hallucinations are the sole responsibility of the authors.
Acceptable Use of AI
AI may be used for language editing, grammar checking, translation assistance, or formatting support — provided this use is disclosed transparently. AI must not be used to fabricate data, generate citations, or replace independent scientific judgment.
Sample Disclosure Statement
"During the preparation of this manuscript, the author(s) used [AI tool name, e.g., ChatGPT] for the purpose of [e.g., language editing / grammar checking]. After using this tool, the author(s) reviewed and edited the content as needed and take full responsibility for the content of the published article."
If no AI tools were used, no statement is required. This policy is aligned with COPE, ICMJE, and WAME guidelines on AI use in scholarly publishing.
