AIGC Policy

As per the Guideline on the Boundaries of AIGC Usage in Academic Publishing, the use of Artificial Intelligence Generated Content (AIGC) in the publishing industry is restricted by boundaries that limit its use across the publishing process, from research to publication. Stakeholders involved in research and publishing need to ensure that the technology is employed with integrity and transparency.

AIGC technology can be utilized for sorting out research background information, suggesting diagram types (with the exception of biology diagrams), making linguistic refinements, organizing citations, and performing automatic sorting. Authors are responsible for verifying the authenticity of AIGC content to ensure precise and dependable research outcomes.

AIGC cannot replace the role of an article author or be credited as one. If authors use such tools to write any part of the manuscript, they must openly and thoroughly describe it in the Methods or Acknowledgements section, including details such as the AIGC tool's name, version number, content written by the AIGC, and the reason for its usage. Furthermore, it is essential to ensure that all participants in the article publication process, such as researchers, authors, peer reviewers, and readers, are informed and openly acknowledge the use of AIGC. Undisclosed AIGC textual content may be considered academic misconduct.

AIGC tools used should adhere to recognized standards and guidelines to guarantee that data is findable, accessible, interoperable, and reusable.
