AI Assistance Policy

The International Journal of Global Human Behavior Review (IJGHBR) recognizes the growing role of generative artificial intelligence (AI) tools in academic writing and research support. While such technologies may assist in improving clarity and language, the journal maintains strict standards to ensure that all published work reflects authentic human scholarship.

Authors must ensure that the use of AI tools does not compromise the originality, integrity, or intellectual contribution of their research.

Authorship and Accountability

Non-Authorship: Generative AI tools (such as ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini) cannot be listed as authors or co-authors, as they do not possess legal or ethical accountability.

Human Responsibility: Authors remain fully responsible for the accuracy, originality, interpretation, and integrity of all submitted content, including any portions assisted by AI technologies.

Permissible Use and Limitations

The use of generative AI is permitted only in a limited and supportive capacity. Acceptable and restricted uses include:

— Use limited to language refinement, grammar correction, or structural clarity
— AI-generated content must not exceed 5% of the manuscript
— AI must not be used to generate core research content, data, or analysis
— AI-generated images, figures, or visual data are not permitted unless central to the research topic

Disclosure Requirements

Transparency in the use of AI tools is mandatory. Authors must clearly disclose any use of generative AI in their manuscript.

— Include a “Statement on Generative AI Use” before the References section
— Specify the AI tool used and the sections where assistance was applied
— Confirm that all AI-assisted content has been reviewed, verified, and approved by the authors

Integrity and Compliance

The journal reserves the right to evaluate and verify the extent of AI usage in submitted manuscripts. Submissions that fail to comply with these guidelines may be subject to revision requests, rejection, or further ethical review.

This policy aligns with evolving global standards in academic publishing and aims to balance innovation with ethical responsibility.
