Policy Statement

Jurnal Multidisiplin Dehasen (MUDE) recognises that artificial intelligence (AI) and generative AI tools may support certain aspects of scholarly work. However, the use of such tools must not compromise authorship accountability, confidentiality, originality, accuracy, research integrity, peer-review independence, or editorial responsibility.

Human authors, reviewers, and editors remain fully responsible for all scholarly and editorial decisions. AI tools cannot assume responsibility for the accuracy, originality, ethics, or integrity of research and therefore cannot be credited as authors.

AI Use by Authors

Authors may use AI-assisted tools only in a manner consistent with research integrity and must remain responsible for all submitted content.

Permitted Support

AI-assisted tools may be used for limited support such as language improvement, grammar correction, translation assistance, coding support, or other legitimate technical purposes, provided that authors independently verify all outputs.

Disclosure Requirement

Authors must disclose the use of generative AI or AI-assisted tools when such use materially contributed to writing, analysis, coding, image generation, data processing, interpretation, or other substantive elements of the manuscript.

AI Cannot Be an Author

AI systems, chatbots, large language models, or other automated tools must not be listed as authors or co-authors because they cannot take responsibility for the work, approve a final manuscript, disclose competing interests, enter into publication agreements, or respond to questions about research integrity.

Author Responsibilities

Verify the accuracy of all AI-assisted output before submission.
Verify all references, quotations, data, statistics, and factual statements.
Ensure that AI-generated text does not contain plagiarism, fabricated references, fabricated data, or misleading information.
Protect confidential, personal, sensitive, proprietary, and unpublished data.
Comply with applicable research ethics, copyright, privacy, and data-protection requirements.
Provide a clear AI Use Disclosure where required.

AI Use Disclosure

Example when no generative AI was used:

The authors did not use generative artificial intelligence tools in the research, analysis, or writing of this manuscript.

Example when AI was used:

The authors used [tool and version] for [specific purpose]. All AI-assisted outputs were critically reviewed, verified, and edited by the authors, who remain fully responsible for the final content.

Prohibited or Unacceptable Uses

Generating or fabricating research data, participants, quotations, results, references, or evidence.
Using AI to conceal plagiarism or inappropriate text reuse.
Submitting AI-generated content without adequate human verification.
Creating manipulated images or data representations that mislead readers.
Uploading confidential or sensitive research information to an AI system without appropriate authority, protection, or consent.

AI Use by Reviewers

Reviewers must not upload submitted manuscripts, supplementary files, author data, confidential editorial correspondence, or unpublished research material into public or third-party generative AI systems. Peer-review materials are confidential. Reviewers remain personally responsible for the intellectual content and integrity of their review reports.

AI Use by Editors

Editors must preserve manuscript confidentiality and must not upload confidential manuscript content or unpublished research information into public generative AI systems.

AI tools must not be used to make or replace independent editorial decisions concerning manuscript acceptance, rejection, reviewer selection, ethical assessment, or scientific merit. Final responsibility remains with the human editor.

AI-Generated Images and Research Data

AI-generated or AI-modified images, figures, audiovisual materials, datasets, or other research outputs must be transparently disclosed where relevant and must not misrepresent evidence. Authors remain responsible for copyright, consent, provenance, data integrity, and ethical compliance.

Accountability Principle

AI may assist scholarly work, but it does not replace human judgement, scholarly responsibility, ethical accountability, or editorial independence.
