Generative Artificial Intelligence (AI) Writing Policy
- Acknowledgment of Generative AI Usage: Authors utilizing generative AI in the creation of their manuscripts must explicitly acknowledge its use. This acknowledgment should be included in the Acknowledgments section or within the methods section of the paper as appropriate. The disclosure should provide a detailed description of the content (whether text or other forms) that was generated with the assistance of AI. Additionally, authors must specify the name of the AI model or tool, its version, extension numbers, and the manufacturer.
- Author Responsibility for AI-Generated Content: Authors bear the responsibility for all content, including that generated by AI tools, in their manuscripts. It is imperative that authors verify the accuracy of the AI-generated content, ensuring that it is free from plagiarism and appropriately cited. Authors must adhere to ethical standards in utilizing generative AI, aligning with the principles of academic honesty and integrity.
- Prohibition of Generative AI Tools for pictures, figures, and charts: Generative AI tools that create images, figures, charts or other items, such as Dall-E, are prohibited from use for manuscripts published within JPSW. These creations may infringe on copyright by generating outputs that resemble existing works.
- Generative AI Tools as Authors: Generative AI tools, such as ChatGPT, cannot be listed as authors. This restriction is grounded in the fact that AI tools lack the capacity to meet the authorship criteria outlined by the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors (ICJME). AI tools are unable to assume accountability for all aspects of the work, a crucial requirement for authorship. By excluding AI tools from authorship, this policy reinforces the human-centric nature of scholarly contributions, emphasizing the unique role of researchers in the creation and oversight of scientific content.
