Statement on the Use of Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI)

NJE recognizes the increasing use of Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) tools in academic research and scholarly publishing. Authors may use GenAI tools to assist with tasks such as language improvement, grammar checking, formatting, and enhancing the clarity of manuscripts; however, the use of such tools must be transparently disclosed in the manuscript.

GenAI tools must not be listed as authors or contributors, as authorship requires accountability, intellectual contribution, and responsibility for the content of the published work. Authors remain fully responsible for the accuracy, originality, integrity, and ethical compliance of their submissions, including ensuring that any AI-assisted content is appropriately verified and properly referenced.

The Journal does not permit the use of GenAI tools to generate research findings, fabricate data, manipulate results, or replace the critical scholarly judgment of authors. Any undisclosed or inappropriate use of GenAI that compromises research integrity may result in rejection or retraction of the affected manuscript.

By submitting a manuscript to the Journal, authors confirm that they have complied with this policy and have disclosed any relevant use of GenAI tools during the preparation of their work.
