AI Writing Policy
Policy on the Use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) Tools
This policy applies to all submissions received by the Journal of Economic Innovation and Development (JEID), published by Global Scientific Hub.
The use of artificial intelligence (AI) tools, including but not limited to large language models (LLMs) such as ChatGPT, is becoming increasingly common in academic research and scholarly publishing. The Journal of Economic Innovation and Development recognizes that AI technologies can provide useful assistance in research and manuscript preparation while emphasizing research integrity, transparency, author accountability, and responsible scholarly practice.
This policy is informed by the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE) position statement on Authorship and AI Tools and is intended to support responsible and transparent use of AI technologies in scholarly publishing.
1. Authorship and Responsibility
Artificial intelligence tools may not be listed as authors or co-authors under any circumstances. Authorship requires responsibility for the integrity of the research, accountability for the published content, and the ability to address matters relating to copyright, licensing, and publication ethics. AI tools cannot assume these responsibilities.
All listed human authors remain fully responsible for the accuracy, originality, reliability, and integrity of the manuscript, including any content generated or assisted by AI tools.
2. Disclosure and Transparency
Authors who use AI tools at any stage of the research or publication process—including manuscript drafting, language editing, data analysis, coding, image generation, statistical modeling, or other research-related activities—must clearly and transparently disclose such use.
Disclosure must include:
- The name and version of the AI tool used;
- The specific purpose for which the tool was used;
- The extent and nature of the AI tool’s contribution.
This disclosure should be included in the Methods section, Acknowledgements, or a dedicated AI Use Statement within the manuscript, as appropriate to the nature of the AI-assisted work.
3. Ethical Use and Data Integrity
Authors must ensure that the use of AI tools complies with accepted standards of research ethics and publication integrity. This includes protecting confidential or sensitive information, avoiding plagiarism and data fabrication, verifying AI-generated information and references, and complying with applicable intellectual property and data protection requirements.
AI tools must not be used in ways that compromise the originality, accuracy, validity, reliability, or reproducibility of the research. Authors remain responsible for independently reviewing and verifying any AI-assisted content incorporated into their manuscripts.
4. Editorial Oversight and Enforcement
The editors of the Journal of Economic Innovation and Development reserve the right to request clarification regarding the use of AI tools and to take appropriate editorial action, including rejection, withdrawal, correction, or retraction, if undisclosed, inappropriate, misleading, or unethical use of AI tools is identified at any stage of the publication process.
Failure to disclose relevant use of AI tools, or the use of AI in a manner that violates research integrity or publication ethics, may constitute a breach of the journal's publication policies and will be addressed in accordance with applicable ethical standards, including relevant COPE guidelines.
5. Policy Review
This policy will be periodically reviewed and updated to reflect developments in artificial intelligence technologies, scholarly publishing practices, ethical standards, and relevant publishing requirements. Submission of a manuscript to JEID implies that the authors have read, understood, and agreed to comply with this policy.
