AI Usage Policy

JUISI: Jurnal Ilmiah Sistem Informasi supports the responsible use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in scholarly research and publication. AI-assisted activities must uphold transparency, academic integrity, information accuracy, and author accountability.

This policy applies to authors, editors, and reviewers throughout manuscript preparation, evaluation, and publication.

1. Permitted Use of AI

Authors may use AI tools to assist with language editing, grammar correction, translation, manuscript organization, and relevant research activities.

The use of AI in data processing, model development, analysis, or experimentation must be adequately described in the methodology section to ensure scientific transparency and evaluation.

AI must not be used to fabricate data, generate fictitious references, manipulate research findings, or replace authors' critical judgment and intellectual contributions.

2. Transparency and AI Disclosure

Authors must disclose any substantive use of AI in content preparation, research analysis, or the generation of research outputs.

Disclosures must identify the AI tool, its purpose, and the specific aspects of the research or manuscript in which it was used.

Basic spelling and grammar assistance does not require a separate declaration, provided it does not generate or substantially alter scholarly content.

3. Authorship and Academic Responsibility

AI tools cannot be recognized as authors or co-authors because they cannot fulfill the responsibilities associated with scholarly authorship.

Human authors remain fully accountable for originality, data accuracy, analytical validity, reference accuracy, and the integrity of the entire manuscript, including AI-assisted content.

All AI-generated outputs must be critically reviewed and verified before inclusion in scholarly publications.

4. AI Use by Editors and Reviewers

Editors and reviewers must maintain manuscript confidentiality throughout the evaluation process.

Confidential manuscripts, research data, and editorial materials must not be uploaded to external AI platforms without appropriate authorization and adequate confidentiality safeguards.

AI assistance must not replace independent scholarly assessment or the professional responsibilities of editors and reviewers.

5. Policy Violations

Failure to disclose AI use when required, fabricated content, fictitious references, or manipulated research findings may constitute publication ethics concerns.

JUISI may request clarification, require corrections, or implement proportionate editorial measures based on the available evidence and severity of the violation, in accordance with its Publication Ethics and Malpractice Statement and Allegations of Research Misconduct Policy.

6. AI Usage Declaration

Authors who substantially use AI tools must include an AI usage statement in their manuscripts.

Example:

AI Usage Statement

"The authors used [AI tool name] for [specific purpose]. All AI-assisted outputs were critically reviewed and verified by the authors, who retain full responsibility for the accuracy and integrity of the manuscript."

JUISI emphasizes that AI serves as a supporting research tool and must not replace human accountability, critical reasoning, or original intellectual contributions.
