Eduistiqomah in Islamic Education Management (EIEM) recognizes the increasing use of artificial intelligence (AI) and generative artificial intelligence (Generative AI) tools in academic research and scholarly publishing. The journal supports responsible and transparent use of AI technologies while maintaining the principles of academic integrity, originality, authorship, accountability, confidentiality, and research ethics.
AI and Generative AI tools may be used to support certain aspects of research and manuscript preparation, provided that their use does not compromise the originality, integrity, accuracy, or ethical standards of the manuscript.
The use of AI does not transfer responsibility for the manuscript from the authors to the AI tool. Authors remain fully responsible for the content, accuracy, originality, citations, data, analysis, and conclusions of their manuscripts.
Authors may use AI or Generative AI tools for limited and appropriate purposes, such as:
Improving grammar, spelling, and language;
Enhancing clarity and readability;
Assisting with translation;
Supporting brainstorming or organization of ideas;
Assisting with formatting or non-substantive editorial tasks; and
Supporting other activities that do not replace the authors' scholarly judgment and intellectual contribution.
Authors must carefully review and verify all AI-assisted output before including it in a manuscript.
Authors must disclose the use of AI or Generative AI tools when such tools have been used substantially in the preparation of a manuscript.
The disclosure should identify:
The name of the AI tool or system;
The purpose for which it was used; and
The extent or nature of its contribution.
A suitable disclosure statement may be included in the manuscript, for example:
AI and Generative AI Disclosure: During the preparation of this manuscript, the authors used [name of tool] for [specific purpose]. The authors subsequently reviewed, edited, and verified the content and take full responsibility for the final published work.
Routine use of basic spelling, grammar, or reference-management software does not normally require a separate disclosure unless the tool performs substantive generative functions.
AI and Generative AI tools cannot be listed as authors or co-authors of manuscripts submitted to EIEM.
Authorship requires human responsibility for the scholarly work, including responsibility for the accuracy, integrity, originality, and final approval of the manuscript.
Authors must ensure that all individuals who meet legitimate authorship criteria are appropriately credited.
Authors remain responsible for verifying all AI-assisted or AI-generated content.
AI tools may produce inaccurate, incomplete, biased, misleading, or fabricated information, including incorrect references or citations. Authors must therefore independently verify:
Factual claims;
Citations and references;
Statistical information;
Research findings;
Quotations;
Data interpretation;
Theoretical claims; and
Any other substantive content generated or assisted by AI.
The use of AI does not constitute a defense against errors, plagiarism, fabricated information, or other forms of academic misconduct.
AI-generated or AI-assisted text must not be used in a manner that violates the journal's originality and plagiarism requirements.
Authors remain responsible for ensuring that manuscripts meet EIEM's maximum similarity threshold of 20% and comply with the journal's Plagiarism Screening Policy.
AI tools must not be used to disguise plagiarism, manipulate similarity-detection systems, fabricate citations, or misrepresent the originality of a manuscript.
The use of Generative AI to create images, figures, diagrams, datasets, code, or other research materials must be disclosed when it makes a substantive contribution to the manuscript.
Authors must ensure that AI-generated materials:
Are scientifically or academically appropriate;
Do not misrepresent research evidence;
Do not violate copyright or other intellectual-property rights;
Do not contain fabricated or misleading information; and
Are clearly identified where disclosure is necessary.
AI-generated content must not be presented as original empirical evidence when it has not been produced through the stated research methodology.
AI tools may be used as analytical or computational assistance when their use is scientifically justified and appropriately documented.
When AI substantially contributes to data processing, analysis, coding, modeling, interpretation, or other methodological procedures, authors should describe the tool, version where relevant, purpose, and methodological role sufficiently to support transparency and reproducibility.
Authors remain responsible for validating AI-assisted analyses and conclusions.
Authors, reviewers, and editors must exercise caution when submitting confidential, unpublished, personal, proprietary, or sensitive information to external AI systems.
Reviewers and editors must not upload or disclose confidential manuscript content to Generative AI tools when doing so could compromise the confidentiality of the peer-review or editorial process.
Unpublished manuscripts must be treated as confidential scholarly material.
Reviewers may use appropriate tools for limited administrative or language-support purposes, provided that confidentiality and research integrity are maintained.
Reviewers must not use Generative AI to:
Replace their independent scholarly evaluation;
Generate the substantive content of a peer-review report;
Upload confidential manuscript material to an external AI system;
Disclose unpublished research information; or
Use unpublished manuscript content for personal research or other purposes.
The final review must represent the reviewer's own independent academic judgment.
Editors may use AI-assisted tools for limited administrative or technical purposes where appropriate, provided that confidentiality, editorial independence, and ethical standards are maintained.
Editors remain responsible for all editorial decisions and must not delegate scholarly judgment to an AI system.
Confidential manuscript information must not be entered into external Generative AI systems in a manner that could compromise the confidentiality of the editorial process.
Authors are responsible for ensuring that all references cited in their manuscripts actually exist and accurately support the claims for which they are cited.
AI-generated references must be independently checked against reliable scholarly sources.
Fabricated, inaccurate, or misleading citations may constitute academic misconduct and may result in rejection or further editorial action.
EIEM promotes transparency regarding the use of AI in scholarly publishing.
The use of AI must never obscure the identity of the human authors, the origin of research data, the methodology used, or the intellectual responsibility for the published work.
Authors must be able to explain and defend the research and manuscript independently of any AI tool used during preparation.
The editorial team may request clarification regarding the use of AI or Generative AI when it is relevant to the originality, methodology, integrity, or ethical assessment of a manuscript.
Failure to disclose substantive AI use, particularly where disclosure is necessary for transparency, may result in editorial action.
This policy is intended to support responsible AI use in scholarly publishing and is informed by recognized principles of publication ethics and responsible research practices, including relevant guidance from the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE).
The policy may be updated as AI technologies, scholarly publishing practices, and relevant ethical standards continue to develop.
EIEM does not prohibit the responsible use of AI and Generative AI tools. However, AI is a supporting tool, not a substitute for human authorship, scholarly judgment, research integrity, or academic responsibility.
Authors, reviewers, and editors remain accountable for the integrity, confidentiality, accuracy, originality, and ethical standards of their work and activities within the journal's publishing process.
