Generative AI (GenAI) Usage 

Authors

Declaration of the (co)authorship of generative AI is not permissible in Harmoni Sosial: Jurnal Pendidikan IPS, although the journal recognizes the developments in this technology as a possible means of supporting the efficiency of scientific writing. Assistive AI tools have become a preferred means of improving language, grammar or structure as well as of generating references, text, images or any other form of content.

In any case, Harmoni Sosial: Jurnal Pendidikan IPS requires authors to declare their use of generative AI by adding a statement to the acknowledgements section of the manuscript before its submission to the journal. The following text should be used for this declaration:

During the preparation of this work, the author(s) used [the AI TOOL / SERVICE] in order to [REASON]. The author(s) declare that they reviewed and edited the final output as needed and take(s) full responsibility for the content of the published article.

Authors should also remember that all responsibility for the improper use of AI tools/services rests with the authors. Therefore, they must be conscious of potential risks such as the generation of factually incorrect texts or references, plagiarism, fabrication, and/or biases, and remember to carefully review and edit the final output.

Harmoni Sosial: Jurnal Pendidikan IPS will not reject submissions because of the disclosed use of generative AI. However, if the Editor detects the use of AI without disclosure during the submission, or an inappropriate use of AI such as the generation of incorrect text or content, plagiarism or inappropriate attribution to prior sources, the Editor reserves the right to reject the submission at any time during the publishing process.

Reviewers

Reviewers should refrain from using generative artificial intelligence or AI-assisted technologies to support the scientific evaluation of a manuscript, as the critical thinking and original judgment required for peer review fall outside the scope of such technologies. Moreover, these tools carry the risk of producing inaccurate, incomplete, or biased assessments regarding the manuscript. The reviewer is solely responsible for the content of the review report.
