The Utilization of ArtificiaI Intelligence Tools

IJET permits the use of artificial intelligence (AI) tools as supportive instruments for writing and editing, such as for grammatical refinement or linguistic enhancement, provided that such application does not supersede the author's substantive intellectual contribution. Any instances of undisclosed or inappropriate AI utilization will be addressed according to the journal's established ethical guidelines, potentially leading to manuscript rejection, retraction of published work, or the imposition of author sanctions. To uphold rigorous academic integrity, editors and reviewers will receive regular training on identifying AI-generated content. Authors are required to include a comprehensive declaration within the research methodology section of their manuscript, detailing all AI tools employed during the writing, editing, or research phases. This declaration must explicitly name the specific AI tool(s) used (e.g., ChatGPT, Grammarly), clarify the purpose of their application (e.g., grammatical correction, data analysis, ideation), and specify the extent of AI's contribution to the submitted work. Furthermore, authors must submit a statement affirming that the manuscript represents their original intellectual endeavor and that AI tools did not independently generate any portion of the content without human oversight and critical intervention. The use of AI to generate significant portions of the manuscript or entire sections without substantial human intellectual input is strictly prohibited. The interpretation and analysis of data, as well as the application of critical thinking, must remain the sole responsibility of the author(s) and cannot be delegated to AI. Reviewers reserve the right to request detailed methodological descriptions and transparent explanations of data collection and analytical procedures. All submissions must be accompanied by meticulous citations of all referenced sources. Misrepresentation or non-disclosure of AI tool usage will result in immediate rejection, retraction of published work, or other disciplinary actions deemed appropriate by the journal.
