Generative AI Policy

EMAS: Jurnal Ekonomi, Manajemen dan Bisnis permits the responsible use of generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) and AI-assisted technologies in research and manuscript preparation, provided that their use is transparent, ethical, and remains under the full responsibility of the authors.

1. Authorship and Responsibility

Generative AI tools cannot be listed as authors or co-authors.

Authors remain fully responsible for the originality, accuracy, integrity, references, analyses, interpretations, and conclusions presented in the manuscript. GenAI must not replace the authors' scholarly judgment, critical analysis, methodological decisions, or interpretation of research findings.

2. Use and Disclosure by Authors

Authors may use GenAI or AI-assisted technologies to support manuscript preparation, such as language improvement, translation, organization of text, coding, data processing, or visualization.

When GenAI is used in a manner that materially contributes to the research process or manuscript preparation, authors must disclose its use in the Declarations section.

The disclosure should identify the AI tool and its purpose. For example:

Generative Artificial Intelligence Disclosure: The author(s) used [name of GenAI tool] for [purpose]. The authors reviewed and verified the AI-assisted output and remain fully responsible for the content of the manuscript.

When GenAI is used as part of the research method, its use should also be appropriately described in the Methods section.

Routine use of conventional non-generative tools for spelling, formatting, or reference management does not require disclosure.

3. Prohibited Use

Authors must not use GenAI to fabricate, falsify, or manipulate data, respondents, interviews, references, statistical results, or research findings; conceal plagiarism or duplicate publication; produce misleading conclusions; or violate confidentiality, privacy, copyright, or intellectual-property rights.

AI-assisted information, references, analyses, and interpretations must be verified by the authors using reliable sources.

4. Use by Peer Reviewers

Peer reviewers are prohibited from using generative AI or AI-assisted systems in the peer-review process.

Reviewers must not use GenAI to analyze, summarize, evaluate, score, or generate comments or recommendations on submitted manuscripts.

Manuscripts, figures, tables, supplementary materials, unpublished data, and confidential editorial information must not be uploaded to generative AI systems.

Peer-review judgments and recommendations must be made independently by the reviewer.

5. Use by Editors

Editors must maintain the confidentiality of submitted manuscripts.

GenAI must not replace editorial judgment or be used to determine manuscript acceptance or rejection. Confidential manuscripts, reviewer reports, unpublished data, or editorial correspondence must not be uploaded to external generative AI systems.

AI-assisted tools may be used for limited administrative or technical purposes that do not involve scientific evaluation or compromise manuscript confidentiality.

6. Non-Compliance

Failure to disclose relevant GenAI use or misuse of GenAI may result in clarification, revision, rejection, correction, or retraction, depending on the nature and seriousness of the violation.
