Artificial Intelligence (AI)

Resonansi recognizes that generative artificial intelligence (AI) and AI-assisted tools are increasingly used in research and writing. This policy aims to ensure transparency, accountability, and academic integrity in the use of such tools by authors, editors, and reviewers.

Policy for Authors

  • AI tools cannot be listed as an author, because they cannot take responsibility for the content, give consent, or be held accountable for the work.
  • Authors bear full responsibility for the content of the manuscript, including the accuracy of any text, data, analysis, references, or ideas produced with the help of AI tools.
  • Authors must disclose the use of generative AI in the preparation of the manuscript, including the name and version of the tool and the purpose of its use. The disclosure should be placed in the Methods or Acknowledgements section.
  • The use of AI tools for basic language assistance, such as grammar, spelling, and readability checks, does not need to be disclosed, provided that the authors review and take responsibility for the final text.
  • Authors must verify all AI-generated content, especially citations and references, and ensure that no fabricated, inaccurate, or non-existent sources are included.
  • AI tools must not be used to fabricate or manipulate research data, results, or images.
  • Authors must ensure that the use of AI tools does not lead to plagiarism or violate the copyright of others.

Policy for Editors and Reviewers

  • Manuscripts are confidential. Editors and reviewers must not upload manuscripts, or any part of them, to generative AI tools, because this may breach confidentiality and the authors' proprietary rights.
  • Reviewers must not use AI tools to write or generate their review reports. Evaluation of a manuscript requires independent scholarly judgment.
  • Editors must make editorial decisions on the basis of human judgment and must not delegate these decisions to AI tools.

Violations

Undisclosed or improper use of AI tools will be treated as a breach of publication ethics. The journal may request clarification or revision, reject the manuscript, or retract a published article, in accordance with the Publication Ethics and Misconduct policy of Resonansi.

This policy may be updated as AI technologies and publishing standards develop.
