Artificial Intelligence Usage and Ethics Policy

The Jurnal Intervensi Sosial dan Pembangunan (JISP) acknowledges that advances in Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies can support research, academic writing, and scholarly publishing processes. Nevertheless, the use of AI in manuscript preparation must be conducted responsibly, while upholding academic integrity, transparency, and scholarly accountability.

Authors remain fully responsible for all content of their manuscripts, including the accuracy of data, analysis, interpretation of findings, and research conclusions.

1. Requirements for Authors

  • AI Cannot Be Credited as an Author:
    AI technologies, Large Language Models (LLMs), or chatbots (such as ChatGPT, Claude, etc.) do not qualify as authors or co-authors. AI systems cannot assume legal or ethical responsibility, nor can they independently verify the accuracy of research data.

  • Permitted Scope of AI Use:

    • AI may be used in a limited capacity to assist with grammar correction, sentence structure refinement, or language editing.

    • AI must not be used to generate fabricated research data, fabricate citations or references, or replace substantive research analysis.

  • Disclosure Requirements:

    • Authors are required to disclose any use of AI tools during the writing or preparation of their manuscripts.

    • Such disclosures should generally be included in the Methods or Acknowledgements section.

    • The disclosure must specify the name of the AI tool, its version number, the sections of the manuscript in which AI was used, and the purpose of its use.

  • Full Responsibility of Human Authors:
    Human authors retain full responsibility for all manuscript content, including the accuracy of facts, data, citations, and conclusions, even when portions of the text have been assisted by AI tools.

2. Requirements for Reviewers

  • Prohibition Against Uploading Manuscripts to AI Systems:

    • Reviewers are prohibited from entering or uploading confidential manuscripts received through the peer-review process into publicly accessible AI systems (for example, asking AI to summarize or generate a review of another author's manuscript), as this would violate the confidentiality obligations between authors and the journal.

  • Scholarly Assessment Must Remain Human-Led:
    All scholarly evaluations, criticisms, and recommendations regarding editorial decisions (acceptance or rejection) must be based on the reviewer's own expertise and objective professional judgment, rather than solely on AI-generated assessments.

3. Requirements for Editors and Journal Oversight

  • Verification and Assessment:

    • The Editorial Board reserves the right to use AI detection tools as an auxiliary assessment mechanism. However, AI detection results must not serve as the sole basis for rejecting a manuscript or alleging an ethical violation without providing the authors with an opportunity for clarification.

  • Right to Clarification and Sanctions:

    • If there are indications of undisclosed or unethical AI use, the editor reserves the right to request clarification from the authors, reject the manuscript, or retract the published article if the violation is identified after publication.
