Generative AI

Al-Faraidhi: Indonesian Journal of Inheritance and Islamic Law acknowledges the rapid development of Generative Artificial Intelligence (AI) and AI-assisted technologies (such as ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, Jasper, etc.) in academic writing and research. To maintain the highest standards of academic integrity, publication ethics, and transparency, the Editorial Board has established the following policy regarding the use of Generative AI:

1. AI and Authorship

  • No AI Authorship: Artificial Intelligence tools, Large Language Models (LLMs), or any AI-assisted technologies cannot be listed as an author or co-author of a manuscript. AI tools cannot take public responsibility for the integrity, originality, or accuracy of the research, nor can they sign a copyright agreement or manage conflicts of interest.

2. Transparency and Disclosure

  • Mandatory Declaration: Authors who use Generative AI or AI-assisted technologies in the writing process, data analysis, or manuscript preparation must transparently disclose this use.

  • Placement of Disclosure: The declaration must be placed in the Methods section (if used for data collection/analysis) or in the Acknowledgments section (if used for writing assistance or language polishing).

  • Details Required: Authors must specify the name of the AI tool used, the version, and a brief description of how the tool was applied in the research or writing process.

3. Author Responsibility and Accountability

  • Final Accountability: Human authors bear full and final responsibility for the entire content of their manuscript, including any text, figures, or data generated or translated by AI.

  • Fact-Checking: AI models are prone to generating false information or "hallucinations." Authors must rigorously verify all facts, citations, and arguments produced by AI.

  • Plagiarism Prevention: Authors must ensure that AI-generated text does not plagiarize existing published works. The manuscript will still undergo standard plagiarism screening (e.g., Turnitin), and the authors are solely responsible for any similarity issues arising from AI use.

4. Images, Figures, and Data

  • The use of Generative AI to create or manipulate primary research data, charts, or images is strictly prohibited unless the AI generation itself is the primary subject of the research methodology. If AI is used to improve the clarity of existing charts or language, it must be disclosed.

5. AI Use by Reviewers and Editors

  • Confidentiality Breach: Peer reviewers and editors must not upload submitted manuscripts into Generative AI tools (e.g., to generate summaries or peer-review reports). Doing so is a direct violation of author confidentiality and proprietary rights, as public AI tools may store and reuse the uploaded data.
