Guidelines on AI-Generated Content

IJSASR acknowledges the potential of artificial intelligence (AI) to generate information that can be helpful for articles submitted to the journal for prospective publication.   However, the journal also recognizes the need to ensure that AI-generated content is managed sensibly and morally.
This policy describes the journal's guidelines for using AI-generated content in published articles.
1. Definition of AI-generated content

2. Principles
IJSASR will only publish AI-generated content that complies with the following rules:
* The AI system that produced the content cannot be recognized as one of the authors when it is submitted for potential publication.
* The AI system used to generate the content must be properly described in the article.
* The human author's contribution to the content must be acknowledged.
* The AI-generated content must be original and not plagiarized.
