This policy is adopted and adapted with reference to Elsevier’s official guideline on the use of generative artificial intelligence in scholarly publishing, available at Elsevier’s Generative AI Policies for Journals. The purpose of this policy is to ensure ethical, transparent, and responsible use of generative AI tools and AI-assisted technologies in the editorial and publication processes of the Jurnal Ilmiah Lingua Idea. It applies to all parties involved in the publication process, including authors, reviewers, and editors.

For Authors

Jurnal Ilmiah Lingua Idea allows the use of generative artificial intelligence (AI) tools and AI-assisted technologies, provided that they are used responsibly and under human supervision. Authors are required to verify the accuracy, completeness, and potential bias of AI-generated outputs, including automatically generated references. The use of such tools must be transparently declared through a Declaration of Generative AI and AI-assisted Technologies, specifying the tool’s name, purpose, and the extent of human editing or oversight. This declaration should be included in the manuscript before the reference list. Generative AI tools must not replace authors’ critical thinking, analysis, interpretation, or original intellectual contribution. All responsibility for the content remains with the human author(s), and AI tools must not be listed as authors or co-authors. Furthermore, the use of AI for creating or modifying images or illustrations is only permitted when it does not alter the underlying scientific information. If AI use is part of the research methodology, it must be clearly described in the Methods section.

Declaration of Generative AI and AI-assisted Technologies

During the preparation of this work, the author(s) used [NAME OF TOOL/SERVICE] in order to [SPECIFY PURPOSE, e.g., check grammar, improve readability, assist in translation, or structure ideas]. After using this tool/service, the author(s) reviewed, verified, and edited the content as necessary and take(s) full responsibility for the content of the published article.

Example:
During the preparation of this work, the author(s) used ChatGPT (OpenAI) in order to check grammar and enhance language clarity. After using this tool/service, the author(s) reviewed and edited the content as needed and take(s) full responsibility for the content of the publication.

For Reviewers

Reviewers must maintain strict confidentiality regarding manuscripts assigned for peer review and are prohibited from uploading any part of the manuscript to external generative AI tools or third-party AI systems. Such actions may compromise confidentiality and violate authors’ copyrights. Reviewers are also not permitted to use AI tools to draft or edit their review reports if doing so requires uploading confidential manuscript content. The use of AI to evaluate scientific merit, methodology, or the contribution of the work is not allowed. Reviewers remain fully responsible for the content, integrity, and quality of their evaluations.

For Editors

Editors are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of all submitted manuscripts and must not upload manuscripts, decision letters, or any confidential content to external generative AI systems. Editorial decisions and scientific evaluations must be made entirely by human editors and editorial board members, not by AI systems. However, AI may be used as a supporting tool for technical or administrative purposes—such as format checking, plagiarism detection, data integrity screening, or reviewer matching—provided that these activities remain under human oversight. The final editorial decision and publication responsibility rest solely with the human editors.
