Generate AI Policy

AI-Generated Content Policy

The Journal of Communication and Da'wah recognizes the advancement of Generative Artificial Intelligence (AI) in academic writing. While these tools can assist in refining language or organizing ideas, the journal maintains a strict policy to ensure human authorship, original thinking, and academic accountability.

AI Similarity Threshold

Every submitted manuscript will be screened using AI detection tools. The journal applies the following standards regarding AI-generated content:

• Max 20% Tolerance A maximum of 20% AI-generated content is allowed, primarily for technical editing, grammar correction, or improving readability.
• Above 20% Manuscripts exceeding this threshold will be returned to authors for substantial rewriting or may be rejected if the core intellectual contribution is found to be non-human.

Authorship and Responsibility

• Human Authorship: AI tools (such as ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini) cannot be listed as an author or co-author. Authorship implies intellectual responsibility, which AI cannot fulfill.
• Disclosure Requirement: Authors must disclose the use of AI in the "Acknowledgment" section or within the "Methods" section, specifying which tool was used and for what purpose (e.g., translation, grammar check).
• Verification of Facts: Authors are fully responsible for the accuracy of citations, data, and references. AI-generated "hallucinations" (fake references or data) will be treated as scientific misconduct.

Ethical Implications

The Journal of Communication and Da'wah emphasizes that the use of AI should not replace the author's critical analysis, creative synthesis, and ethical judgment. The originality of the "Da’wah" message and the "Communication" analysis must remain the result of human intellectual effort.

This policy is subject to regular updates in line with developments in international publishing ethics and AI detection technology.
