STYR

The Journal is committed to publishing submissions that reflect both originality and academic integrity. The Journal’s policy on artificial intelligence (AI) is intended to provide both readers and prospective authors with an understanding of whether, when, and how AI has been used to research or draft a particular submission.
 
In all cases, references in this Policy to ‘artificial intelligence’ or ‘AI’, are intended to include references to Generative AI. Generative AI refers to deep-learning models that can generate high-quality text, images, and other content based on the data they were trained on.

AI use for Submissions to the Journal
 
Authors submitting  to the Journal may use AI to assist with:

​

• Research of a specific issue, using a specialized AI tool designed specifically for academic research.

• Content testing of a finished draft.

• Polishing grammar and writing style.

• Translating text from a language other than English – noting that machine translations will require a special footnote indicating that AI has been used to translate the material. The author is responsible for ensuring that mistakes made by machine translation are corrected before submitting. 

 

Authors may not use AI to assist with:

​​

• Ideation or initial identification of topics.

• Initial structuring or drafting of any submission to the Journal.

• Any task that may result in a breach of confidentiality.

• Any task that may contravene any applicable laws or rules of academic/professional conduct.

 

The above lists are illustrative rather than exhaustive. If in doubt, a prospective author should contact the editorial team before using AI.
 
Authors whose submissions have been provisionally accepted for publication will be required to complete an AI disclosure form that identifies the extent to which AI has been used and affirms that such use has complied with relevant legal and ethical principles. Please note that submissions that are not accompanied by a completed AI disclosure form may not get published. The Journal reserves the right not to publish any submission that does not comply with this AI policy and to remove any published piece from the journal on discovery of any contravention of the AI policy.
