Artificial Intelligence Usage Policy

AUTHORS

Authors must disclose the use of generative AI in scientific writing at the time of manuscript submission. The declaration does not apply to the use of basic tools, such as those employed for grammar, spelling, or reference checking. If there is nothing to declare, no statement is required.

The journal Semina: Exact and Technological Sciences recognizes the potential of AI technologies and tools to assist in the processes of writing, editing, and translation. It is understood that, in the generative context, such tools present biases and generation anomalies inherent to the data, training, and the developed AI model. Therefore, their use must be judicious to avoid ethical and academic issues. The following guideline refers solely to the writing process and does not apply to the use of AI tools for data analysis and insight extraction as part of the research process.

• Generative AI and AI-assisted technologies should be used in the writing process solely to enhance the readability and language of the manuscript.
• The technology must be applied under human supervision and control, and authors must carefully review and edit the output, as AI may generate biased, inappropriate, incorrect, incomplete, or misleading content. Authors are ultimately responsible for the content of the work.
• Authors must not list or cite AI and AI-assisted technologies as an author or co-author of the manuscript, as authorship entails responsibilities and tasks that can only be assigned to and fulfilled by humans.

The use of generative AI and AI-assisted technologies in scientific writing must be disclosed through a statement included at the end of the manuscript at the time of submission. This statement will appear in the published work and must be placed in a new section entitled "Declaration of Generative AI and AI-assisted technologies in the writing process", before the reference list. The following template is strongly recommended:

"During the preparation of this work the author(s) used [NAME TOOL / SERVICE] in order to [REASON]. After using this tool/service, the author(s) reviewed and edited the content as needed and take(s) full responsibility for the content of the publication."

EDITORS AND REVIEWERS

To protect authors' rights and the confidentiality of their research, the journal Semina: Exact and Technological Sciences currently does not permit the use of generative AI or AI-assisted technologies, such as ChatGPT or similar services, by reviewers or editors during the peer review and manuscript evaluation process.
