The policy of the journal "The Journal of Ukrainian history" regarding the use of artificial intelligence (AI) tools is based on the statements of COPE, WAME, and the JAMA Network, the recommendations of the ICMJE, the requirements of the European Artificial Intelligence Act, and the Concept for the Development of Artificial Intelligence in Ukraine.
1. Authors:
- are required to indicate in the cover letter of their article which artificial intelligence (AI) tools were used during the preparation of the manuscript, the creation of images or graphic elements of the article, during data collection and analysis, etc., specifying the particular AI tool used;
- may not list AI tools as authors of the article, as they cannot assume responsibility for the submitted work, declare the presence or absence of conflicts of interest, or manage authorship and licensing agreements;
- if illustrative material is created using AI, must indicate the name of the tool and the prompts used. The use of AI-generated content must not infringe the rights of third parties (for example, artistic styles, unless they are the subject of critical analysis);
- bear responsibility for the accuracy of the presented material prepared using chatbots such as ChatGPT, as well as for the proper acknowledgment of all sources in their article;
must adhere to the principles of academic integrity. All manuscripts are subject to plagiarism checks, including the detection of AI-generated content.
2. Reviewers:
- in evaluating an article, must express their own expert judgment rather than relying on AI-generated conclusions;
- must not upload full manuscript texts to publicly accessible or unsecured AI tools in order to preserve the confidentiality of the peer review process.
3. Editorial Board:
- checks all manuscripts submitted to the journal for plagiarism, including the presence of AI-generated content;
- makes decisions on the acceptance or rejection of a manuscript primarily based on its scholarly value, originality, and research quality, rather than on the use of AI during its preparation.
