Generative AI Guideline
The use of artificial intelligence (AI) and AI-assisted technologies that can produce content such as generating references, text, figures, or any other form of content is strictly prohibited. Authors should only use these technologies to improve readability and language. JTS encourages authors to cite original sources, rather than generative AI tools as primary sources within the references. Authors are required to adhere following guidelines:
- Clearly show the use of language models in the manuscript. The statement should be placed in the section following the references prior to the acknowledgment, entitled ‘Declaration of Generative AI and AI-assisted technologies in the writing process’.
Statement: During the preparation of this work the author(s) used [NAME TOOL / SERVICE] in order to [REASON]. After using [NAME TOOL / SERVICE], the author reviewed and edited the content as needed and takes full responsibility for the content of the publication.
- Be aware of the potential for plagiarism, where the large language models (LLM) may have reproduced substantial text from other sources. Check the original sources to avoid plagiarism.
- Be aware of the potential for fabrication where the LLM may have generated false content, including getting facts wrong or generating citations that don’t exist. Verified all claims in the manuscript prior to submission.
- Please note that AI tools or services such as ChatGPT should not be listed as an author on your submission.
While submissions will not be rejected because of the disclosed use of generative AI, if the Editor becomes aware that Generative AI was inappropriately used in the preparation of a submission without disclosure, the Editor reserves the right to reject the submission at any time during the publishing process.
