Generative Artificial Intelligence Use Policy
The EVOXIA – International Journal of Scientific Innovation recognizes the growing role of generative Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies in scientific development, academic writing, and technological innovation. However, the journal establishes ethical and methodological guidelines to ensure transparency, integrity, and responsibility in the use of these tools during the preparation and submission of manuscripts.
1. General Principles
The use of generative AI tools (such as ChatGPT, Copilot, Gemini, Claude, among others) must respect the principles of scientific honesty, responsible authorship, and intellectual originality. EVOXIA understands that such technologies can assist researchers, but they do not replace the human contribution in the production of scientific knowledge.
2. Transparency and Declaration of Use
Authors who use generative AI tools at any stage of the research, writing, translation, or text revision process must explicitly declare such use in the “Acknowledgments” or “Methodology” section of the article, describing:
- Which tool was used (name and version);
- For what purpose (e.g., grammatical correction, writing support, translation, idea organization, data analysis, etc.);
- How the use was supervised and validated by the authors.
Failure to disclose this information may be considered a lack of academic transparency and may result in the rejection of the manuscript.
3. Authorial Responsibility
Full responsibility for the scientific content, interpretations, and conclusions presented lies exclusively with the human authors. AI tools must not be listed as co-authors or cited as responsible for the intellectual writing of the text. Authors must ensure that all AI-generated content has been critically reviewed and verified for accuracy, originality, and ethical compliance.
4. Prevention of Plagiarism and Fabricated Data
The use of generative AI to create, alter, or fabricate data, citations, or experimental results is strictly prohibited. All generated content must be verifiable and traceable to legitimate sources.
EVOXIA uses the Copyleaks AI Content Detector (https://copyleaks.com/ai-content-detector) for plagiarism detection and, when applicable, specific tools to identify synthetic content.
5. Ethics, Privacy, and Copyright
Authors must ensure that the use of generative AI complies with data protection, confidentiality, and copyright regulations. It is not permitted to input into AI systems texts, data, or images belonging to third parties without proper authorization.
6. Use of AI in Editorial Evaluation and Peer Review
EVOXIA does not use generative AI to make editorial decisions or to write review reports. However, automated tools may be used only for technical checks (for example, formatting, reference verification, or textual similarity screening).
7. Policy Updates
This policy may be periodically revised to keep pace with advances in AI technologies and the recommendations of indexing bodies such as Scopus, DOAJ, and COPE (Committee on Publication Ethics). All updates will be duly communicated to authors and reviewers.
