Ai Policy

The International Journal of Research in Communication and Embedded Electronics recognizes that artificial intelligence (AI) and AI-assisted technologies can support researchers in activities such as language improvement, data analysis, coding assistance, literature organization, and manuscript preparation. However, the use of AI tools must not compromise research integrity, originality, transparency, or author responsibility.

1. Responsible Use of AI

Authors may use AI-assisted tools responsibly for activities such as:

  • Improving grammar, spelling, and language clarity.
  • Formatting or organizing text.
  • Assisting with coding or programming tasks.
  • Supporting data analysis or visualization.
  • Generating ideas that are subsequently verified and developed by the authors.

AI tools should be used as assistance rather than as a replacement for the authors' scholarly judgment and responsibility.

2. Author Responsibility

Authors remain fully responsible for the content of their submitted manuscript, regardless of whether AI tools were used during its preparation.

Authors must:

  • Verify the accuracy of AI-assisted content.
  • Check references and citations for authenticity.
  • Ensure that research findings are accurately reported.
  • Correct any errors introduced by AI tools.
  • Ensure that the manuscript meets the journal's originality and ethical requirements.

3. Disclosure of AI Use

Where AI tools have been used substantially in preparing a manuscript, authors should transparently disclose their use.

The disclosure should identify:

  • The AI tool or system used.
  • The purpose for which it was used.
  • The relevant stage of manuscript preparation or research.

Routine spelling or grammar assistance may be treated differently from substantial AI-generated content, depending on the circumstances.

4. AI-Generated Content

Authors should not submit AI-generated text, data, images, references, or research findings as if they were independently produced by the authors.

AI-generated material must be carefully reviewed, verified, and appropriately acknowledged where required.

5. AI and Authorship

AI tools, including generative AI systems, cannot be listed as authors of manuscripts.

Authorship requires human responsibility for the research, manuscript, interpretation of results, and final approval.

6. Accuracy and Fabrication

AI systems can produce inaccurate information, fabricated references, unsupported claims, or misleading results. Authors are therefore responsible for independently verifying all AI-assisted material before submission.

Particular care should be taken with:

  • References and citations.
  • Technical specifications.
  • Experimental results.
  • Mathematical calculations.
  • Research data.
  • Claims about previous research.

7. Confidentiality

Authors should avoid entering confidential, unpublished, proprietary, or sensitive research information into external AI systems where doing so could compromise confidentiality or intellectual property rights.

8. Peer Review and AI

Reviewers should maintain the confidentiality of manuscripts under review. Reviewers should not upload unpublished manuscripts, figures, datasets, or other confidential material into AI tools if doing so could compromise the confidentiality of the peer review process.

AI tools should not replace the reviewer's independent scholarly assessment.

9. Editorial Use of AI

Editors may use appropriate technological tools to support administrative or editorial activities. However, editorial decisions should remain based on qualified human judgment, academic standards, and the journal's peer review process.

10. Plagiarism and Academic Integrity

The use of AI does not exempt authors from the journal's plagiarism and originality requirements.

AI-assisted manuscripts may be subject to the journal's normal originality and plagiarism screening procedures. Authors remain responsible for ensuring that their work does not contain unattributed material or other forms of academic misconduct.
