Declaration of Use AI

Declaration of Use of Generative Artificial Intelligence (AI)
To uphold academic integrity and ensure transparency in the manuscript preparation process, Journal of Social Science and Information Studies (JSSIS) requires all authors to provide a declaration regarding the use or non-use of generative AI technologies. This statement must be placed at the end of the manuscript, before the reference list.
Option 1 — If Authors Used Generative AI Tools
✅ Declaration of Generative AI Use

In preparing this manuscript, the author(s) used [name of AI tool, e.g., ChatGPT (OpenAI), Gemini, Claude] to assist with language refinement, text consistency, or paragraph structure. The author(s) reviewed and verified all AI-generated content to ensure that the scientific ideas, interpretations, and analytical components originate entirely from the authors. The author(s) accept full responsibility for the accuracy, originality, and academic integrity of this work.

? Editorial Note: This statement applies when AI is used for linguistic enhancement only. Generative AI must not be used for core scientific tasks. All AI outputs must be carefully validated by the author(s).
Option 2 — If Authors Did NOT Use Generative AI Tools
? Declaration of No AI Use

The author(s) declare that this manuscript was prepared entirely without the use of generative AI technologies or automated text-producing tools. All ideas, narrative structure, arguments, and scientific explanations were developed solely by the author(s) without any AI-generated assistance.

? Editorial Note: The use of basic grammar checkers, spell-check tools, or reference management applications is not considered AI use and does not require disclosure.
Ethical Policy for the Editorial Process
? Policy for Reviewers and Editors

JSSIS prohibits reviewers and editors from using generative AI technologies during manuscript review, evaluation, or decision-making processes. This policy is implemented to protect manuscript confidentiality, safeguard authors' intellectual property rights, and ensure objective editorial judgment.

This policy may be updated in line with future developments in ethical AI practices within scholarly publishing.
