Generative AI Policy

DIMENSIA: Jurnal Kajian Sosiologi recognizes that generative artificial intelligence (AI) may support academic writing and research. However, its use must uphold originality, accuracy, transparency, confidentiality, and academic integrity.

Human Accountability

AI tools cannot be listed as authors or co-authors. Human authors remain fully responsible for the accuracy, originality, and integrity of all submitted content, including AI-assisted material.

Policy Guidelines

01. Permitted AI Assistance

AI may assist with language improvement, translation, organization, and technical tasks under human supervision. Authors must review and verify all AI-assisted outputs.

02. Disclosure and Transparency

Authors must disclose the use of generative AI in manuscript preparation, analysis, or content generation, specifying the tool and its purpose in the Methods or Acknowledgments section, as appropriate. Routine non-generative spelling checks do not require disclosure.

03. Research Integrity and Data Protection

AI must not be used to fabricate research data, findings, quotations, or references. Authors must protect confidential interview transcripts, participant identities, and sensitive research information from unauthorized disclosure.

04. AI in Peer Review and Editorial Decisions

Reviewers and editors must not upload unpublished manuscripts or confidential review materials to external AI tools where confidentiality cannot be assured. AI must not replace independent human judgment in peer review or editorial decisions.

Example of AI Use Declaration

"The authors used [AI Tool Name] to assist with language editing. All AI-assisted content was reviewed and verified by the authors, who take full responsibility for the manuscript."

Policy Compliance: Suspected misuse or undisclosed AI-generated content may be investigated by the editorial team and addressed through appropriate publication ethics procedures.
