The journal Science, Technologies, Innovations allows the use of artificial intelligence tools and generative AI only as auxiliary means in manuscript preparation. The authors bear full responsibility for the content of the article, the accuracy of data, proper citation, the absence of plagiarism, and compliance with academic integrity standards.
Authors may not list an AI system as the author or co-author of an article. Authorship may belong only to natural persons who have made a substantial intellectual contribution to the research, the text, and the approval of the final version of the manuscript.
What authors must disclose
If generative AI tools were used during manuscript preparation for writing text, translation, language editing, creation of illustrations, tables, code, or data analysis, the authors must inform the editorial office at the time of submission and briefly describe the nature of such use.
Recommended wording for the manuscript or cover letter:
“During the preparation of this article, the author(s) used AI tool(s) [name] for [brief description of function]. All results were reviewed, edited, and approved by the author(s).”
What is prohibited
- using AI to invent or falsify data, results, references, sources, or conclusions;
- submitting AI-generated text that has not been verified by the author as a completed scientific result;
- uploading confidential, sensitive, or personal data to open generative services without proper legal grounds and permissions;
- using AI to manipulatively conceal borrowings or to circumvent academic integrity standards.
Policy for editors and reviewers
Editors and reviewers must not upload full manuscripts, reviews, or accompanying materials to external generative AI services without appropriate confidentiality safeguards and without the permission of the editorial office. Auxiliary use of AI tools for language editing or technical checking is permissible only if confidential information is properly protected.
Consequences of policy violations
Undisclosed or improper use of AI may constitute grounds for additional editorial review, rejection of the manuscript, retraction of the article after publication, or the application of other procedures in accordance with the journal’s ethics policy and procedures for handling violations.
