Generative AI Policies

 

GenAI Policy Statement An Naf'ah: Jurnal Pengabdian Masyarakat permits the responsible use of Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) provided that its use is transparent and remains under human supervision. Authors remain fully responsible for the accuracy, originality, validity, and ethical integrity of their manuscripts. GenAI tools cannot be listed as authors or co-authors.
Permitted Use Limited use of GenAI is permitted under human supervision for:
  • Language editing, grammar checking, and translation;
  • Improving the clarity and readability of author-generated text;
  • Assisting with the organization or presentation of author-generated material;
  • Data visualization, provided that GenAI is not used to fabricate, alter, or manipulate community engagement data, findings, or outcomes.
Authors must carefully review, verify, and take full responsibility for all AI-assisted output included in the manuscript.
Prohibited Use The following uses of GenAI are prohibited:
  • Fabricating community engagement activities, participants, data, findings, outcomes, evaluations, or testimonials;
  • Generating or manipulating evidence, documentation, or research findings that did not result from the actual community engagement process;
  • Fabricating references, citations, quotations, or sources;
  • Presenting substantive AI-generated scientific content, arguments, or literature reviews without appropriate disclosure;
  • Uploading confidential, unpublished, or personally identifiable information into GenAI systems without appropriate authorization;
  • Using GenAI to conduct peer review or make editorial decisions.
Disclosure Requirements Authors must include a "Generative AI Usage Statement" before the References section if GenAI was used beyond basic spelling and grammar checking.

"During the preparation of this manuscript, the author(s) used [NAME OF AI TOOL] for [PURPOSE OF USE]. The author(s) subsequently reviewed, verified, and edited the AI-assisted content and take full responsibility for the accuracy, originality, and integrity of the final manuscript."

Basic spelling and grammar checking tools that do not generate substantive scholarly content do not require disclosure.
Author Responsibility The use of GenAI does not reduce or transfer the authors' responsibility for their work. Authors remain fully accountable for the accuracy and authenticity of community engagement activities, data, findings, documentation, references, citations, and conclusions; the originality of the manuscript; compliance with copyright requirements; and the protection of confidential and personal information.
Editors and Reviewers Editors and reviewers must protect the confidentiality of submitted manuscripts. Unpublished manuscripts, community engagement data, participant information, or other confidential materials must not be uploaded to publicly accessible GenAI tools for peer review, manuscript evaluation, or editorial decision-making.

Note: An Naf'ah: Jurnal Pengabdian Masyarakat reserves the right to request clarification regarding the use of Generative AI and to take appropriate editorial action when undisclosed, misleading, unethical, or inappropriate use of GenAI is identified, in accordance with applicable publication ethics standards.
