ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE POLICY

Artificial Intelligence (AI) and AI-Assisted Technologies Policy

JUPEIS: Jurnal Pendidikan dan Ilmu Sosial recognizes that artificial intelligence (AI) and AI-assisted technologies can support various aspects of research, writing, language editing, data analysis, and manuscript preparation. The journal permits the responsible use of these technologies, provided that their use is transparent, ethical, and subject to adequate human oversight.

Authors remain fully responsible for the originality, accuracy, integrity, validity, and scholarly content of their manuscripts, regardless of whether AI or AI-assisted technologies are used during research or manuscript preparation.

Permitted Uses of AI

AI and AI-assisted technologies may be used to support legitimate academic activities, including, where appropriate:

Language editing, grammar correction, and improvements in readability;
Translation assistance;
Organizing or restructuring text written by the authors;
Brainstorming or developing preliminary ideas;
Programming or coding assistance;
Data processing or computational analysis;
Literature searches or information retrieval; and
Other appropriate research-support activities that remain subject to adequate author oversight.

The use of AI does not diminish authors' responsibility to independently review and verify all information, analyses, interpretations, citations, and conclusions included in their manuscripts.

AI Cannot Be Listed as an Author

AI systems, large language models (LLMs), chatbots, and other AI-assisted technologies cannot be listed as authors or co-authors of manuscripts submitted to JUPEIS: Jurnal Pendidikan dan Ilmu Sosial.

Authorship requires accountability for scholarly work, the ability to approve the final manuscript, responsibility for the accuracy and integrity of the work, and the ability to respond to questions concerning the research. These responsibilities must remain with human authors.

Disclosure of AI Use

Authors must transparently disclose the substantive use of generative AI or AI-assisted technologies in manuscript preparation when such technologies contribute to the creation, modification, analysis, or interpretation of manuscript content.

Where disclosure is required, authors must specify:

The name of the AI tool or system used;
The purpose for which the tool was used;
The research stages or manuscript sections in which AI was used; and
How the authors reviewed, verified, and assumed responsibility for the generated content.

The location and level of detail of the disclosure may vary according to the nature of the AI use. When AI is used as part of the research methodology, its use must be adequately described in the Methods section to ensure transparency and reproducibility. When generative AI is used primarily to assist with manuscript preparation, its use must be disclosed in an AI Disclosure Statement or another section designated by the journal.

Example of an AI Disclosure Statement

Artificial Intelligence Disclosure Statement: During the preparation of this manuscript, the authors used ChatGPT, Grammarly, and Claude to assist with language refinement and editing. The authors subsequently reviewed and revised all content generated or modified with AI assistance and accept full responsibility for the accuracy, originality, integrity, and final content of the manuscript.

Authors must adapt this statement to reflect the tools actually used and the purpose and extent of their use.

AI-Generated Information and References

Authors must independently verify factual statements, references, quotations, statistics, datasets, and other information suggested or generated by AI systems before incorporating them into a manuscript.

AI-generated responses must not replace appropriate scholarly sources when the underlying scientific or academic claims can be supported by original literature.

Authors are responsible for ensuring that all references cited in their manuscripts actually exist, are accurate and relevant, are accessible where necessary, and genuinely support the claims for which they are cited.

Unacceptable Uses of AI

AI and AI-assisted technologies must not be used in ways that undermine research integrity or misrepresent the authors' scholarly contributions.

Unacceptable practices include, but are not limited to:

Generating or fabricating research data, participants, interviews, observations, or experimental results that do not actually exist;
Creating, altering, or inventing references, citations, DOI information, or bibliographic details;
Using AI-generated analyses or conclusions without adequate human verification;
Using AI to create false, misleading, manipulated, or deceptive research evidence;
Presenting scientific content generated largely by AI as entirely human-written when disclosure is required;
Using AI in ways that violate confidentiality, privacy, intellectual property rights, research ethics, or applicable legal requirements; and
Using AI to conceal plagiarism, data manipulation, duplicate publication, or other forms of research and publication misconduct.

Confidentiality, Privacy, and Research Data

Authors must exercise caution when entering unpublished manuscripts, confidential information, personal data, participant information, proprietary datasets, or other sensitive research materials into third-party AI systems.

Authors remain responsible for ensuring that their use of AI tools complies with applicable requirements concerning privacy, informed consent, confidentiality, data protection, intellectual property rights, and research ethics.

AI Content Screening

As part of its internal editorial screening policy, JUPEIS: Jurnal Pendidikan dan Ilmu Sosial establishes that, under normal circumstances, the proportion of content detected as AI-generated in submitted manuscripts is expected not to exceed 20%.

The journal may use Turnitin AI Writing Detection or other appropriate tools as part of its editorial screening procedures.

Important: AI detection is a screening indicator.

The percentage of AI-detected content is not considered conclusive evidence that a manuscript was written by AI or that publication ethics have been violated. Detection results may be considered alongside the manuscript's content, author disclosures, editorial assessment, and other relevant evidence.

If an AI detection report raises substantial concerns, the editorial team may request clarification, revisions, an AI use statement, or other relevant information from the authors before making an editorial decision.

Human Oversight and Responsibility

AI-assisted technologies may support scholarly work but must not replace the intellectual contribution, critical judgment, interpretation, and accountability expected of human researchers.

Before submitting a manuscript, authors must review and verify all AI-assisted content and ensure that the final manuscript accurately reflects their research, reasoning, interpretations, and scientific conclusions.

The corresponding author and all co-authors share responsibility for the final manuscript.

Failure to Disclose or Misuse of AI

Failure to disclose substantive AI use when disclosure is required, or the use of AI in ways that undermine research or publication integrity, may result in editorial action.

Depending on the nature and severity of the issue, the journal may request clarification or revisions, reject the manuscript, or take appropriate post-publication action in accordance with its Publication Ethics and Malpractice Statement and Corrections, Retractions, and Expressions of Concern Policy.

Summary of the AI Policy

Responsible use of AI: Permitted.
AI as an author or co-author: Not permitted.
Disclosure of substantive generative AI use: Required.
Human verification and oversight: Required.
Fabrication of data or references using AI: Prohibited.
Normal internal threshold for AI detection: Maximum of 20%.
