Scitech Group Journals supports the responsible and ethical use of generative artificial intelligence (AI) in scholarly publishing. This policy ensures transparency, academic integrity, and accountability across all stages of the publication process.
Use of AI by Authors
Authors may use AI tools for limited purposes such as language editing, grammar correction, and improving readability. AI must not be used to generate original research data, results, images, analyses, or references. AI tools cannot be credited as authors, and human authors retain full responsibility for all content.
Disclosure Requirement
Any use of generative AI must be clearly disclosed in the manuscript, typically in the acknowledgements or a dedicated AI disclosure statement. Failure to disclose AI usage may be considered a violation of publication ethics.
Use of AI by Reviewers and Editors
Reviewers and editors must maintain strict confidentiality and should not upload unpublished manuscripts into AI platforms that store or reuse data. Peer review evaluations and editorial decisions must always be made by qualified human experts.
Data Privacy and Integrity
The publisher may conduct integrity checks to identify inappropriate AI use. This policy will be updated periodically to align with evolving technologies and best practices in scholarly publishing.
