Generative AI Policies

GenAI Policy Statement

The Manuscripta Islamica permits the use of Generative AI (GenAI) provided that its use is transparently disclosed. Authors remain fully responsible for the accuracy, originality, validity, and ethical integrity of their manuscripts. GenAI tools cannot be listed as authors.

Permitted Use

Limited use of GenAI tools is permitted under human supervision for the following purposes:

  • Language editing, grammar checking, and translation support.
  • Data visualization, provided that the tool is not used to generate, alter, or manipulate research findings.
  • Improving clarity and readability, provided that the intellectual content remains fully controlled and verified by the author(s).
Prohibited Use
  • Generating scientific content, arguments, interpretations, or literature reviews without proper disclosure.
  • Including fabricated, inaccurate, or unverifiable AI-generated references or citations.
  • Using GenAI to create, manipulate, or falsify data, findings, images, or evidence.
  • Using GenAI in peer review, editorial assessment, or editorial decision-making in a way that compromises confidentiality, accountability, or scholarly judgment.
Disclosure Requirements

Authors must include a Generative AI Usage Statement before the references if GenAI tools were used in preparing the manuscript. Basic spelling or grammar checkers that do not substantially alter the scholarly content do not require declaration.

During the preparation of this work, the author(s) used [NAME OF TOOL] for [PURPOSE/REASON]. The author(s) reviewed, edited, and verified the content and take full responsibility for the final version of the manuscript.
Author Responsibility

Authors are responsible for checking the accuracy of all AI-assisted content, including facts, citations, translations, terminology, and interpretations. The use of GenAI does not reduce the authors’ accountability for the integrity of the submitted and published work.

Note: The journal reserves the right to reject, request clarification, issue corrections, or retract manuscripts involving undisclosed or inappropriate GenAI use, in accordance with international publication ethics standards and indexing recommendations.
