Policy on the Use of Artificial Intelligence and AI-Enabled Technologies
AI-Driven Journal of Interdisciplinary Social Research (AI-JISR) supports the ethical, transparent, and accountable use of AI-driven technologies in academic publishing. The journal uses artificial intelligence as an auxiliary system that accelerates, structures, and makes the scientific review process traceable.
A distinctive feature of the journal is its use of AI agents in the assistant editor, subject editor, and peer review processes. These agents perform tasks related to scope checking, subject classification, methodological evaluation, academic writing review, scoring, and reporting.
The final decision on publication is made solely by the human editor-in-chief. AI agents are not decision-makers but rather decision-supporting editorial components.
Authors’ Use of Artificial Intelligence
Authors are required to explicitly disclose any use of generative artificial intelligence or AI-assisted technologies.
These tools may be used for the following purposes:
- language editing,
- spelling and grammar checking,
- translation support,
- code development,
- data analysis support,
- table or figure creation,
- text formatting.
However, all responsibility for the scientific content of the research, the choice of methods, data analysis, data interpretation, evaluation of findings, and the final content of the article rests with the human authors.
In studies using artificial intelligence, authors must specify the following information:
- the name of the artificial intelligence tool used,
- model or version information, if available,
- the purpose of use,
- the nature of the checks, verifications, and edits performed by the human author.
Sample statement:
In this study, AI-assisted tools were used for language editing and reviewing the flow of the text. The scientific content, data, interpretations, and final form of the study have been reviewed and approved by the authors.
AI tools cannot be listed as authors; they cannot hold copyright; they cannot submit a conflict of interest statement; and they cannot assume scientific responsibility. All scientific, ethical, and legal responsibility for the article rests with the human authors.
The Role of AI Agents
In the journal, associate editors, subject editors, and reviewers are configured as AI agents.
At least two different reviewer agents are assigned to each article, and the reviewers work independently of one another. AI reviewers do not conduct research on the web, do not obtain external information about the author, and their evaluations are not influenced by the author’s identity; no information about the author is shared among reviewers. All review processes proceed independently of one another.
These agents:
- analyze the article’s suitability for the journal’s purpose and scope,
- classify the article according to the relevant social science field or interdisciplinary area of study,
- evaluate the article in terms of methodology, literature review, originality, academic writing, ethical compliance, and scientific contribution,
- generate scores based on established evaluation criteria,
- provide revision recommendations,
- and prepare a structured report for the editor-in-chief.
AI agents cannot make final decisions. All outputs from AI agents are logged and reviewed by the editor-in-chief.
