Generative AI and AI-Based Technology Usage Policy

This policy has been developed in response to the increasing prevalence of generative Artificial Intelligence (AI) and AI-based technologies, which are anticipated to be used more frequently by authors and academic content creators. Generative AI refers to AI systems capable of producing novel content, such as text, images, or music. AI-based technology encompasses a broader spectrum of applications that utilize AI to analyze data, automate processes, and support decision-making. This policy aims to promote transparency and provide clear guidelines for authors, reviewers, and editors within The Senarai journal community regarding the use of these technologies. The Senarai will continuously monitor developments in this area and update this policy as necessary to reflect evolving best practices and ethical considerations.

For Authors: Use of AI in Academic Writing

This section of the policy pertains solely to the writing and composition process of the manuscript and does not apply to the use of AI for data analysis or deriving insights from data as an integral part of the research methodology.

The use of AI tools is permitted solely for the purpose of enhancing the readability and improving the language quality of the manuscript. However, mandatory human oversight and critical evaluation are required, as AI-generated outputs, while seemingly credible, may contain inaccuracies, incompleteness, or biases. Authors bear full and unreserved responsibility for the accuracy, integrity, and originality of the content of their work.

Authors are required to explicitly disclose the use of any AI tools in the preparation of their manuscript in a dedicated section (e.g., Acknowledgements or Methods). This disclosure will be included in the published work to foster transparency and build trust among authors, readers, reviewers, editors, and the wider scholarly community. The disclosure should specify the AI tool(s) used and how they were employed.

AI tools or software must not be listed as an author or co-author of the manuscript, as authorship entails responsibilities and accountabilities that can only be attributed to human researchers who have made significant intellectual contributions to the work.

For Authors: Use of AI in Images, Illustrations, and Artwork

The use of generative AI to create or significantly modify images, illustrations, and artwork intended for inclusion in submitted manuscripts is generally prohibited for purposes such as enhancement that alters meaning, obfuscation, or the addition of substantive elements not present in the original data or findings. Minor adjustments to image quality, such as brightness or contrast modifications, are permitted, provided they do not alter the original information or introduce misleading artifacts.

Exceptions may be granted if the use of AI in image generation or modification is an integral part of the research methodology (e.g., in biomedical imaging or computer vision studies). In such exceptional cases, the use of AI must be thoroughly and transparently detailed in the Methods section of the manuscript, including the specific name, version, and manufacturer of the AI technology used, as well as a clear explanation of its role in the research.

For Reviewers: Confidentiality of Manuscripts

Manuscripts received for peer review are confidential documents and must be treated as such. Reviewers are strictly prohibited from uploading manuscripts, or any part thereof, to AI tools or platforms, as this may compromise the confidentiality and intellectual property rights of the authors.

Similarly, review reports, which contain confidential assessments of the submitted work, must not be uploaded to AI tools, even for the purpose of language or readability enhancement. Reviewers are expected to maintain the confidentiality of their reports.

For Reviewers: Prohibition of AI Use in the Review Process

AI tools must not be used to assist in the critical evaluation and formulation of review reports. The scientific evaluation of scholarly work necessitates critical thinking, expert judgment, and original assessments that currently lie beyond the capabilities of AI technologies.

Reviewers bear full and unreserved responsibility for the accuracy, integrity, and scholarly rigor of their review reports. These reports should reflect the reviewer's own expert assessment of the manuscript.

For Editors: Confidentiality of Manuscripts and Communications

Submitted manuscripts and all related editorial communications, including decision letters, must be treated as confidential documents. Editors are strictly prohibited from uploading manuscripts or any associated communications to AI tools or platforms.

Editorial letters, notifications, and other communications with authors must not be uploaded to AI tools for language enhancement or any other purpose that could potentially compromise confidentiality.

For Editors: Prohibition of AI Use in Evaluation and Decision-Making

AI tools must not be used in the evaluation process of manuscripts or in making editorial decisions regarding publication. These critical processes require nuanced judgment, scholarly expertise, and a comprehensive understanding of the field, which can only be provided by human editors.

Editors bear full and unreserved responsibility for the entire editorial process, including the final decision on publication and all communications with authors.

The Senarai supports the responsible adoption of technologies that enhance the integrity and efficiency of the editorial process while strictly adhering to the principles of confidentiality and protecting the rights of all parties involved in scholarly communication.
