Generative AI Policy

AI Tools Usage Policy

JSA: Jurnal Statistik dan Aplikasinya

1. Purpose and Scope

JSA acknowledges the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools in scholarly publishing to support writing quality, efficiency, and research workflows. However, AI use must comply with principles of academic integrity, originality, transparency, and accountability, in line with COPE Core Practices (Committee on Publication Ethics). This policy defines acceptable AI use and author responsibilities in manuscript preparation and submission.

2. Definition of AI Tools

AI tools include digital systems using artificial intelligence techniques (e.g., machine learning, natural language processing) to generate, analyze, translate, summarize, or modify research-related text, data, images, or visuals. These include generative AI, writing assistants, AI-based data analysis or visualization tools, and AI-powered literature or citation tools.

3. Permitted and Prohibited Use

Permitted uses (with human oversight):

Language editing (grammar, clarity, style, translation)
Reference formatting and citation support
Preliminary literature searches
Assistance in data analysis, visualization, or illustration

Prohibited uses:

Generating entire manuscripts or substantial original content
Fabricating, falsifying, or manipulating data, images, or results
Producing plagiarized, copyrighted, or unverified content
Using AI outputs without critical review and author control

4. Author Responsibility and Authorship

Authors are fully responsible for all submitted content, including AI-assisted material. All AI outputs must be verified, critically reviewed, and edited by the authors. AI tools cannot be listed as authors or co-authors and may not be credited as contributors.

5. Disclosure of AI Use

Authors must disclose AI use beyond basic language editing. Disclosure must include:

Name, version, and provider of the AI tool
Purpose and extent of its use
A statement confirming author responsibility for all AI-assisted content

Disclosure should appear in the Methods, Acknowledgments, or a dedicated “Declaration of AI Tool Usage” section.

Recommended statement:

“During the preparation of this manuscript, the authors used [AI tool name, version, provider] for [purpose]. All AI-assisted outputs were critically reviewed and edited by the authors, who take full responsibility for the content of this manuscript.”

6. Editorial Oversight and Compliance

Editors and reviewers will assess AI disclosures as part of ethical evaluation. Undisclosed or inappropriate AI use may result in revision requests, rejection, retraction, or institutional notification. JSA relies on human judgment, not automated detection alone.

7. Appeals and Policy Updates

Authors may appeal AI-related editorial decisions to the Editor-in-Chief. This policy will be updated periodically to reflect technological and ethical developments. Compliance with this policy is a condition of submission to JSA.
