Artificial Intelligence Policy

Policy on the Use of Generative AI and AI-Assisted Technologies

The Jurnal EurekaMatika (JEM)  recognizes the rapid development of generative Artificial Intelligence (AI) and  AI-assisted technologies in scholarly research. These policies aim to ensure  transparency, integrity, and responsible use of AI tools in the research and  publication process. This policy aligns with the Generative AI policy issued by Elsevier. JEM will continue to monitor technological developments and may revise this policy  as necessary.

For Authors

Authors may use AI tools to assist in manuscript preparation, such as improving  language clarity, organizing content, or summarizing literature. However, AI tools  must not replace human critical thinking, scholarly judgment, or original scientific  contributions. Authors remain fully responsible for the accuracy, integrity, and  originality of their work.

  • Authors must carefully review and verify all AI-generated content.
  • AI-generated text must be edited to reflect the author's original analysis and interpretation.
  • The use of AI tools must be transparently disclosed in an AI declaration statement upon submission.
  • Authors must ensure compliance with data privacy, intellectual property, and ethical standards.

Responsible Use of AI Tools

Authors should ensure that any AI tool used maintains the confidentiality of  unpublished manuscripts and research data. AI-generated references, factual  information, and interpretations must be carefully verified to avoid inaccuracies  or bias.

Authorship

AI tools cannot be listed as authors or co-authors. Authorship implies responsibility  for the integrity, accuracy, and approval of the manuscript, which can only be  fulfilled by human researchers.

AI Use in Images and Figures

The use of generative AI to create or modify figures, images, or artwork in submitted  manuscripts is not permitted. Minor adjustments such as brightness or contrast are  acceptable if they do not alter the scientific meaning of the image. If AI tools are  used as part of the research methodology, this must be clearly described in the  methods section.

For Reviewers

Manuscripts under review must be treated as confidential documents. Reviewers must  not upload manuscripts or review reports to AI tools, as doing so may violate  confidentiality, intellectual property rights, or data privacy regulations. Peer  review requires independent human evaluation and critical judgment.

For Editors

Editors must also maintain the confidentiality of submitted manuscripts and editorial  communications. AI tools should not be used to evaluate manuscripts or make editorial  decisions. Editors remain fully responsible for the integrity of the editorial  process and the final decision on submitted manuscripts.

AI Use in the Publication Process

JEM may use AI-assisted technologies during the publication process to support  technical checks, plagiarism detection, reviewer identification, and copyediting  support. These tools comply with responsible AI principles and strict data privacy  standards. Human oversight remains central to all editorial and publication decisions.
