Authors may use Generative AI tools (e.g., ChatGPT, Gemini, Copilot) only for language editing, grammar correction, or text refinement. AI tools must not be used to generate, analyze, or fabricate data, results, images, or references. Generative AI cannot be listed as an author, and all listed authors are fully responsible for the accuracy and originality of their work.
Authors must disclose any AI assistance in the Acknowledgment section, for example: “The authors used [tool name] for language editing and proofreading.”
Undisclosed or inappropriate AI use may lead to manuscript rejection or retraction.
Reviewer and Editor Use of Generative AI Tools
To maintain the integrity, confidentiality, and fairness of the peer-review and editorial process, the Journal of Computing and Natural Science (JCNS) sets the following guidelines for the use of Generative Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools:
Confidentiality and Data Protection Reviewers and editors must not input or share any part of a manuscript (including abstracts, figures, or data) into public or commercial AI tools. All submissions are strictly confidential and must be handled only through secure journal systems.
Permitted Uses Generative AI tools may be used only for improving language clarity or summarizing internal editorial notes, not for evaluating, rewriting, or making acceptance decisions about manuscripts.
Decision Responsibility All editorial and peer-review decisions must be based on human judgment and expertise. AI tools may assist the process but cannot replace editorial or reviewer evaluation.
Transparency and Accountability If any AI tool is used for minor editorial assistance, its use should be disclosed internally within the editorial communication notes and approved by the Editor-in-Chief.
Ethical Compliance Any misuse of AI that compromises author confidentiality, data security, or review impartiality will be treated as a serious ethical violation and handled according to JMC and COPE guidelines.
