Stakeholder	Policy Statement
Authors	Authors are not permitted to use AI tools for any purpose, including but not limited to text generation, paraphrasing, translation, summarization, grammar correction, language editing, data analysis, interpretation, reference management, or figure creation. All submitted manuscripts must be written, revised, and finalized exclusively by human authors. Any detected or undisclosed use of AI constitutes a serious ethical violation and may result in immediate rejection, retraction, or further editorial action.
Reviewers	Reviewers are strictly prohibited from using AI tools in any form during the peer-review process. Manuscripts, review notes, or editorial correspondence must not be uploaded to or processed by AI systems. Peer-review reports must reflect the reviewer’s own independent, confidential, and human judgment.

All editorial responsibilities are carried out solely by human editors, who remain fully accountable for ethical oversight, confidentiality, and scholarly integrity.

Policy Enforcement
The Senarai reserves the right to investigate suspected AI usage through editorial assessment or other reasonable means. Violations of this policy may result in rejection, retraction, notification of affiliated institutions, or other corrective actions in accordance with publication ethics.
