6. Declaration on the Use of Generative AI
Authors must explicitly disclose any use of Generative Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools (such as ChatGPT, Bard, Grammarly, Quillbot or similar) in the preparation of their manuscripts. The use of AI should be limited to language refinement, data analysis assistance, or code generation and must not compromise the intellectual ownership, originality, or scientific rigor of the work.
JoA does not permit AI-generated content to be listed as an author, as AI lacks accountability, critical reasoning, and responsibility for the work. Authors remain fully responsible for the accuracy, integrity, and ethical compliance of their submissions.
Failure to disclose AI assistance may lead to desk rejection or further editorial action.
