Generative AI Policy

In accordance with Permendiktisaintek No. 9/2026 and COPE guidelines on Artificial Intelligence and Authorship, the journal establishes the following strict policies regarding the ethical use of Generative AI:

1. Authorship and Transparency (Kewajiban Pengungkapan Penulis):
Generative AI and Large Language Models (LLMs) such as ChatGPT, Copilot, or Claude do not meet the criteria for authorship because they cannot take legal, ethical, or intellectual accountability for published work. AI cannot be listed as an author or co-author. Authors who utilize AI tools in the preparation of a manuscript (e.g., conceptualization, literature drafting, coding, data visualization, or English proofreading) must provide full transparency and explicit disclosure in the Methods, Acknowledgments, or a dedicated 'AI Statement' declaring which tool was used, the version/model, date of access, and precise scope of application.

2. Editorial Decision Limits (Batasan Keputusan Editor):
Editors and the Editorial Board shall not rely on automated AI tools or algorithms to make final editorial decisions regarding manuscript desk-rejection, acceptance, or reviewer assignment. All editorial evaluations and decisions remain strictly human-driven and under the direct accountability of qualified editors.

3. Reviewer Prohibition (Larangan Penggunaan AI oleh Mitra Bestari):
Peer-reviewers and Mitra Bestari are STRICTLY PROHIBITED from uploading manuscripts, abstracts, or peer-review drafts to generative AI tools, LLMs, or external machine learning platforms. Uploading confidential submissions breaches author confidentiality, proprietary data integrity, and privacy standards. Review reports must represent the independent critical evaluation and expertise of the assigned human reviewers.
