Jurnal Informatika permits the responsible use of artificial intelligence (AI) tools, including generative AI, in research activities and manuscript preparation. Such use must uphold the principles of originality, research integrity, confidentiality, information accuracy, and publication ethics. AI cannot replace human intellectual contributions or accountability in scholarly work.

Use of AI by Authors

Authors may use AI tools as aids in manuscript preparation and editing, provided that such use does not compromise the originality and integrity of scholarly work. Authors must not use AI to fabricate or falsify data, research findings, information, or references. The use of AI must not replace the authors' intellectual contributions or violate copyright, confidentiality, or research ethics. AI tools cannot be listed as authors or co-authors. Authors must disclose any use of AI that has materially contributed to the research or manuscript preparation, including the name of the AI tool and the purpose of its use. The disclosure must be included in an appropriate section of the manuscript, such as the Methods, Acknowledgements, or a dedicated AI Use Statement. Authors remain fully responsible for the originality, accuracy, validity of information, citations, references, and all content of the submitted manuscript. Any AI-generated output used must be reviewed and verified by the authors.

Use of AI by Editors

Editors may use AI as an aid in editorial activities, provided that it does not replace scientific judgment or editorial decision-making. Editors must maintain the confidentiality of manuscripts and editorial information and must not enter manuscripts or confidential information into AI applications that do not ensure data security and confidentiality. Editors remain responsible for the entire editorial process and all editorial decisions. Editors must disclose any use of AI in accordance with the journal's procedures.

Use of AI by Reviewers

Reviewers are prohibited from using AI to analyze or evaluate manuscripts, prepare comments, or provide recommendations on manuscripts under review. Reviewers are also prohibited from uploading or entering manuscripts, or any part thereof, into AI applications. Reviewers must maintain confidentiality and provide objective assessments based on their own expertise and scholarly judgment.

Violations of the AI Policy

Any alleged violation of the AI policy will be handled in accordance with the journal's publication ethics policy and procedures for handling allegations of research misconduct.
