Generative AI Policies

These policies are established in response to the growing use of generative and AI-assisted technologies in research and are updated to reflect evolving best practices. They aim to ensure transparency and provide clear guidance for authors, reviewers, editors, and readers. Jurnal Aplikasi Statistika & Komputasi Statistik (JASKS) will continue to monitor developments in this area and refine these policies as necessary.

For Author - Use of Generative AI and AI-Assisted Tools

Jurnal Aplikasi Statistika & Komputasi Statistik (JASKS) recognizes the potential benefits of generative AI and AI-assisted tools when used responsibly to support manuscript preparation, such as for language improvement, literature synthesis, and content organization. However, these tools must not replace human critical thinking, expertise, and scholarly judgment. Full human oversight is required at all stages.

Author Responsibility

Authors remain fully responsible and accountable for:

  • Verifying the accuracy, integrity, and objectivity of all AI-generated content.

  • Ensuring the manuscript reflects the authors’ original intellectual contribution.

  • Maintaining data privacy, intellectual property, and ethical standards.

  • Clearly disclosing the use of AI tools in an AI declaration statement upon submission.

Basic grammar, spelling, and punctuation checks do not require disclosure. Any AI use in the research process must be described in detail in the Methods section.

Responsible Use

Authors must ensure that AI tools:

  • Protect the confidentiality of unpublished data and personal information.

  • Do not obtain rights to authors’ materials beyond providing the service.

  • Do not restrict the future publication of the manuscript.
    Authors are also responsible for checking factual errors and potential bias in AI outputs.

Authorship

AI tools must not be listed as authors or co-authors. Authorship is limited to humans who meet standard scholarly responsibility and accountability.

Figures, Images, and Artwork

The use of generative AI to create or alter images, figures, or graphical abstracts is not permitted. Limited technical adjustments (e.g., brightness or contrast) are allowed if they do not distort data.

AI use in image generation is only permitted when it is an explicit part of the research methodology and must be fully described in a reproducible manner in the Methods section.
The use of generative AI for cover art may be allowed only with prior editorial approval and full rights clearance.

For Reviewers – Use of Generative AI in the Peer Review Process

All manuscripts received for review must be treated as strictly confidential. Reviewers must not upload submitted manuscripts, reviewer reports, or any part of them into generative AI or AI-assisted tools, as this may violate confidentiality, intellectual property, and data privacy rights.

Peer review relies on human critical judgment and scholarly responsibility. Therefore, reviewers are not permitted to use generative AI or AI-assisted tools to evaluate the scientific content of a manuscript. The reviewer remains fully responsible and accountable for the accuracy, integrity, and originality of the review report.

Authors may disclose the use of AI tools in manuscript preparation in a dedicated AI declaration section of the submitted paper. Reviewers should evaluate such disclosures as part of the editorial assessment.

Jurnal Aplikasi Statistika & Komputasi Statistik (JASKS) may use editorially approved, secure AI-assisted systems for administrative purposes such as plagiarism screening, manuscript checks, and reviewer matching. These systems comply with data privacy, confidentiality, and ethical standards.

For Editors – Use of Generative AI in the Editorial Process

All submitted manuscripts and all related editorial communications must be treated as strictly confidential. Editors must not upload manuscripts, decision letters, or any editorial correspondence into generative AI or AI-assisted tools, as this may violate confidentiality, intellectual property, and data privacy.

Editorial evaluation and decision-making require human judgment and responsibility. Therefore, editors are not permitted to use generative AI or AI-assisted tools to assist in scientific evaluation or editorial decisions. Editors remain fully responsible and accountable for the review process, editorial decisions, and all communications with authors.

Editors may refer to authors’ AI disclosure statements included in the manuscript. If a potential violation of AI policy by authors or reviewers is suspected, it must be reported to the publisher.

Jurnal Aplikasi Statistika & Komputasi Statistik (JASKS) may employ secure, editor-approved AI-assisted systems for administrative purposes such as plagiarism checks, manuscript screening, and reviewer identification. These systems comply with data privacy, confidentiality, and ethical standards.
