Disclosure and conflicts of interest
Unpublished materials disclosed in a submitted manuscript must not be used in an editor's own research without the express written consent of the author.
Duties of Reviewers
Contribution to Editorial Decisions
Peer review assists the editor in making editorial decisions and through the editorial communications with the author may also assist the author in improving the paper.
Promptness
Any selected referee who feels unqualified to review the research reported in a manuscript or knows that its prompt review will be impossible should notify the editor and excuse himself from the review process.
Confidentiality
Any manuscripts received for review must be treated as confidential documents. They must not be shown to or discussed with others except as authorized by the editor.
Standards of Objectivity
Reviews should be conducted objectively. Personal criticism of the author is inappropriate. Referees should express their views clearly with supporting arguments.
Acknowledgement of Sources
Reviewers should identify relevant published work that has not been cited by the authors. Any statement that an observation, derivation, or argument had been previously reported should be accompanied by the relevant citation. A reviewer should also call to the editor's attention any substantial similarity or overlap between the manuscript under consideration and any other published paper of which they have personal knowledge.
Disclosure and Conflict of Interest
Privileged information or ideas obtained through peer review must be kept confidential and not used for personal advantage. Reviewers should not consider manuscripts in which they have conflicts of interest resulting from competitive, collaborative, or other relationships or connections with any of the authors, companies, or institutions connected to the papers.
Duties of Authors
Reporting standards
Authors of reports of original research should present an accurate account of the work performed as well as an objective discussion of its significance. Underlying data should be represented accurately in the paper. A paper should contain sufficient detail and references to permit others to replicate the work. Fraudulent or knowingly inaccurate statements constitute unethical behaviour and are unacceptable.
Data Access and Retention
Authors are asked to provide the raw data in connection with a paper for editorial review, and should be prepared to provide public access to such data (consistent with the ALPSP-STM Statement on Data and Databases), if practicable, and should in any event be prepared to retain such data for a reasonable time after publication.

Generative AI (GenAI) Policy
Generative AI (GenAI) presents opportunities and challenges in scientific research and academic publishing. At IJSASCS, we recognize the transformative potential of GenAI in enhancing research efficiency and creativity while also addressing the ethical and transparency concerns it raises. This policy outlines our principles, expectations, and technical guidance for using GenAI in the preparation, review, and publication of manuscripts, ensuring accountability, integrity, and trust in scientific publishing.
IJSASCS encourages authors, reviewers, and editors to adhere to this policy to uphold the highest ethical and professional standards in academic research and publishing.
1. Transparency in Use of GenAI
IJSASCS requires authors to disclose the use of GenAI tools, such as Grook-AI, ChatGPT, GPT-4, Bard, or similar technologies, in any aspect of their manuscript preparation. This includes, but is not limited to, drafting text, enhancing grammar, performing data analysis, or generating visualizations.
Authors must include a clear statement in the acknowledgments section or as a footnote in the manuscript, specifying the tool used and the purpose. For example:
"This manuscript utilized ChatGPT (OpenAI) for drafting text and refining grammar. All content was reviewed and validated by the authors."
Failure to disclose the use of GenAI tools may be considered a breach of publishing ethics.
2. Accountability and Authorship
The use of GenAI does not absolve authors of their responsibility for the content of the manuscript. Authors remain fully accountable for the originality, accuracy, and integrity of their submissions, including any content generated with GenAI assistance.
GenAI tools cannot be listed as authors, as they do not meet the criteria for authorship, including the ability to take responsibility for the work. Authors must ensure that all GenAI outputs are accurate, free of bias, and comply with ethical standards.
3. Ethical Compliance
The use of GenAI in the preparation of manuscripts must adhere to IJSASCS's ethical guidelines, including:
- Prohibiting the generation of fabricated or manipulated data.
- Avoiding reliance on GenAI for generating references or citations, as these tools may produce inaccurate or fictitious sources.
- Ensuring all content produced with GenAI is verified for accuracy and originality.
Undisclosed or unethical use of GenAI tools will be treated as a violation of publishing ethics.
4. Peer Review Process
IJSASCS does not utilize GenAI tools in the peer review process. Manuscripts are evaluated by qualified human reviewers who apply their expertise and judgment to assess the quality and merit of submissions.
Reviewers are also discouraged from using GenAI tools to evaluate manuscripts to ensure that all assessments reflect their professional expertise.
5. Editorial and Publishing Practices
While IJSASCS reserves the right to use GenAI tools for auxiliary tasks such as grammar checking, similarity detection, or editorial efficiency, all editorial decisions are made by human editors. Outputs generated by GenAI are carefully reviewed to ensure they meet the journal's high standards.
Authors are encouraged to use GenAI-based tools for tasks such as language polishing but must disclose their usage during submission.
6. Technical Guidance for Authors
To ensure compliance with this policy, authors should follow these steps:
- Clearly disclose the use of GenAI tools, specifying their purpose, in the manuscript.
- Verify all GenAI-generated content for accuracy, originality, and compliance with ethical guidelines.
- Use plagiarism-detection tools to ensure that GenAI outputs do not inadvertently replicate existing content.
- Avoid relying on GenAI for tasks requiring critical intellectual contributions, such as hypothesis formulation or complex data interpretation.
- Manually verify all references and citations included in the manuscript.
7. Continuous Review
As GenAI technologies evolve, IJSASCS will periodically review and update this policy to reflect advancements and align with emerging best practices in academic publishing.
