AI POLICY

International Journal of Bioscience Frontiers (IJBF) recognizes the growing role of Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies in research, writing, data analysis, and scholarly communication. While AI-based tools can support the research and manuscript preparation process, authors remain fully responsible for the accuracy, originality, integrity, and authenticity of the content submitted to the journal.

International Journal of Bioscience Frontiers (IJBF) encourages the responsible and ethical use of AI technologies while ensuring that all published research maintains the highest standards of academic integrity, transparency, and scientific credibility.

Responsible Use of AI Tools

Authors may use AI-assisted tools for purposes such as language improvement, grammar correction, formatting assistance, literature organization, and research support. However, the use of such tools must not compromise the originality, reliability, or scientific validity of the manuscript.

Author Responsibility

Authors are solely responsible for:

  • The accuracy and authenticity of all content submitted.
  • The originality of the research and manuscript.
  • Verification of facts, data, references, and conclusions.
  • Ensuring that AI-generated content does not contain inaccuracies, fabricated information, or misleading statements.
  • Compliance with the journal’s ethical and publication standards.

Disclosure of AI Usage

If AI tools have been used in the preparation of a manuscript, authors are encouraged to disclose their use in an appropriate section of the manuscript. Such disclosure promotes transparency and helps maintain trust in scholarly communication.

AI Cannot Be an Author

Artificial Intelligence tools or software cannot be listed as authors or co-authors of a manuscript. Authorship is limited to individuals who have made substantial intellectual contributions to the research and who can take responsibility for the content of the work.

Research Integrity and Ethical Standards

The use of AI must not result in plagiarism, data fabrication, falsification, manipulation of research findings, or any form of academic misconduct. Manuscripts found to violate ethical publishing standards may be rejected or withdrawn in accordance with the journal’s policies.

Editorial Oversight

The editorial team reserves the right to request additional information regarding the use of AI tools during manuscript preparation when necessary. The journal may take appropriate action if AI-generated content raises concerns regarding originality, accuracy, or ethical compliance.

Commitment to Ethical Innovation

International Journal of Bioscience Frontiers (IJBF) supports innovation in research and scholarly publishing while emphasizing the importance of human oversight, academic accountability, and ethical responsibility. The journal seeks to balance the benefits of emerging AI technologies with the principles of scientific integrity and responsible research conduct.

Through this policy, International Journal of Bioscience Frontiers (IJBF) promotes the transparent, ethical, and responsible use of Artificial Intelligence in scholarly publishing while safeguarding the quality, credibility, and integrity of the scientific record.
