Guidelines for the Use of Artificial Intelligence in the Writing Scientific Articles for Publication in Scientific and Practical Journal Pedagogical IMAGE
1. When writing an article for publication in the scientific and practical journal, it is prohibited to use a text generated by artificial intelligence (hereinafter – “AI”) partially or entirely due to the fact that AI tools are unable to fulfill authorship requirements since they are unable to assume responsibility for the work that is submitted. As non-legal entities, they cannot assert the presence or absence of conflicts of interest, nor manage copyright and license agreements.
In addition, AI-generated content can be inaccurate, misleading, or entirely fabricated (sometimes called “hallucinations”) and may contain copyrighted material.
AI can generate plausible results that may in fact be incorrect, incomplete, or biased, so AI may not be used in writing articles, and citing AI-generated material as a primary source is inadmissible, AI-generated material as primary source material is unacceptable.
2. The AI-tools results, not only generative ones, may potentially create problems related to copyright and design rights. Therefore, the use of generated results in their original form may entail legal risks in the future.
3. In the event that the article is completely generated by the AI or contains a fragment or images created by the AI (whether the author reported it or not), it will be rejected upon receipt in the editorial office according to the results of the check in the “Anti-Plagiarism” system. It is the responsibility of the checker (the issuing editor) to analyze the detected fragments of the generated text. If the system does not show that the text is suspicious, the article will be submitted for a more thorough review by specialists to determine whether the AI was involved in the writing of the article.
4. If a chatbot is used to review an article, reviewers are responsible for any content and citations generated by the chatbot that preserve the requests submitted to it, including the content of the manuscript. Providing an author’s manuscript to a chatbot violates the confidentiality of the submitted manuscript, which is a violation of the principles of publication ethics (COPE).
