Generative AI Policy

Jurnal Teknik Informatika (JUTIF)

1. Purpose and Scope

This policy provides guidance on the responsible use of Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) tools (e.g., ChatGPT, Gemini, Copilot, Claude, LLM-based assistants, AI-based paraphrasing or translation tools) in scholarly writing and publication in Jurnal Teknik Informatika (JUTIF). The purpose is to ensure academic integrity, authorship accountability, transparency, and compliance with ethical publishing principles.

2. Permitted Use of Generative AI

Authors are allowed to use GenAI tools as assistive instruments only for:

  • Grammar and language refinement

  • Formatting and reference organization

  • Idea expansion or preliminary exploration

  • Code generation support (with validation)

  • Initial structure drafting under strict human oversight

The use of such tools must not replace critical thinking, domain expertise, or the authors’ academic contributions.

3. Prohibited Use of Generative AI

Authors must not:

  • Rely on GenAI to generate novel scientific findings, data analysis, literature synthesis, experimental results, or conclusions without rigorous validation

  • Use GenAI to create fabricated citations, benchmark results, figures, datasets, algorithms, or experimental artifacts

  • Employ GenAI to conceal plagiarism or duplicate existing publications

  • Include AI-generated content without clear disclosure

Undisclosed or inappropriate use of GenAI may result in rejection or withdrawal of the article.

4. Authorship Responsibility

GenAI tools cannot be listed as authors or co-authors. Human authors remain fully responsible for:

  • The accuracy and originality of submitted work

  • Research methodology and interpretation of findings

  • Verification of AI-assisted outputs and citations

  • Ensuring compliance with copyright and data privacy principles

Authors must certify that they have critically reviewed and validated all AI-generated content included in their manuscript.

5. Disclosure Requirements

Any use of GenAI that affects the wording, structure, or intellectual substance of the manuscript must be explicitly disclosed in the “Acknowledgment” section or in a dedicated note, specifying:

  • Name of the tool(s)

  • Version or access date (if applicable)

  • Purpose and extent of use (e.g., English proofreading, code generation)

Example disclosure statement:

“Portions of the manuscript text were assisted using ChatGPT (OpenAI, accessed November 2025) for language editing. All content was reviewed and validated by the authors.”

6. Plagiarism and Integrity Assurance

All submitted manuscripts must:

  • Pass plagiarism screening standards of JUTIF

  • Be free from manipulated or AI-fabricated data

  • Include valid and peer-verifiable references

Detection of AI-generated falsified content will result in:

  • Rejection prior publication, or

  • Retraction and notification to affiliated institutions (if discovered post-publication)

7. Use of Generative AI in Peer Review

Reviewers and editors may use GenAI tools only for:

  • Language polishing or summarizing sections already read

  • Improving clarity of review recommendations

They are prohibited from:

  • Sharing or uploading confidential manuscript content into public AI systems

  • Using AI tools to make final ethical or scientific judgments

Confidentiality remains the core principle of peer review integrity.

8. Dataset, Code, and Privacy Compliance

If GenAI is used to handle or preprocess datasets, authors must ensure:

  • Proper data anonymization and legal access

  • Transparency regarding AI-driven modeling, code generation, or computational steps

  • Reproducibility through full disclosure

Submissions involving sensitive datasets must comply with relevant ethical and regulatory approvals.

9. Policy Enforcement and Updates

The Editorial Board of JUTIF will:

  • Continuously evaluate emerging GenAI technologies

  • Update policies following COPE, ACM, IEEE, Elsevier, and Springer ethical guidelines

Violations of this policy will be handled according to JUTIF publication ethics procedures.

Statement of Compliance
