Artificial Intelligence Policy

Guidelines for Responsible Artificial Intelligence (AI) Usage in Jurnal Ekonomi Administrasi dan Sosial (JEAS)

For Authors

A. Ethical and Responsible Use of Artificial Intelligence

Authors must clearly disclose any use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools during the research and manuscript preparation process, including but not limited to data analysis, language editing, statistical processing, visualization, coding assistance, or content generation.

Any AI-assisted content included in the manuscript must remain under the full responsibility of the author(s). Authors are accountable for the accuracy, originality, integrity, and validity of all submitted materials.

Authors must ensure that the use of AI complies with applicable ethical standards, privacy regulations, and data protection principles, especially when research involves personal, confidential, institutional, or sensitive information.

The use of AI tools must not result in plagiarism, copyright infringement, fabricated data, falsified references, or misleading interpretations. AI-generated text, images, tables, or analytical outputs should be reviewed critically before submission.

JEAS does not recognize Artificial Intelligence systems or tools as authors. Authorship must be limited to individuals who make significant intellectual contributions to the research and manuscript.

B. AI in Research Methodology and Data Analysis

Authors are encouraged to use AI technologies responsibly to support research quality, innovation, and analytical rigor in the fields of economics, administration, public policy, management, accounting, business, and social sciences.

Any AI-assisted analysis, interpretation, prediction model, or computational process used in the research must be transparently explained within the methodology section of the manuscript.

Authors should critically evaluate the reliability, validity, fairness, and limitations of AI systems applied in the research process.

Research findings generated with AI support must remain reproducible, scientifically accountable, and open to academic verification.

---

C. Academic Integrity and Originality

All manuscripts submitted to JEAS must represent original scholarly work and genuine intellectual contributions from the author(s).

Authors may use AI tools only as supportive instruments and not as substitutes for academic reasoning, critical analysis, interpretation, or scientific judgment.

Any substantial AI assistance in writing, editing, translation, coding, or data processing should be transparently acknowledged in the manuscript, preferably within the acknowledgment or methodology section.

Authors remain fully responsible for ensuring that references, citations, empirical findings, and interpretations are accurate and academically valid.

---

D. Transparency and Accountability

Authors should maintain transparency regarding the extent and purpose of AI usage throughout the research and publication process.

Collaborative research teams are encouraged to establish clear agreements regarding the use of AI technologies, authorship responsibilities, data governance, and ethical accountability before conducting research.

Failure to disclose inappropriate or unethical AI usage may result in manuscript rejection, retraction, or other editorial actions in accordance with publication ethics standards.

---

For Reviewers

Reviewers must maintain the confidentiality of all manuscripts received for peer review.

Reviewers are prohibited from uploading submitted manuscripts, data, figures, or any confidential material into generative AI platforms or external AI systems, as this may violate confidentiality, copyright, intellectual property rights, and ethical review principles.

Reviewers are expected to conduct evaluations objectively, independently, and based on scholarly merit. Any use of AI tools to support review activities must not compromise confidentiality or the integrity of the peer review process.

All review comments and recommendations remain the sole responsibility of the reviewer.

---

For Editors

Editors must ensure the confidentiality, integrity, and ethical management of all submitted manuscripts throughout the editorial and publication process.

Editors should not upload manuscript content, reviewer comments, or confidential editorial materials into generative AI systems or third-party AI platforms that may compromise privacy, confidentiality, copyright protection, or publication ethics.

Editorial decisions must remain based on academic quality, originality, relevance, ethical standards, and the journal’s scope, rather than solely on AI-generated assessments or recommendations.

JEAS encourages the responsible and ethical use of AI technologies to support scholarly communication while maintaining transparency, accountability, and academic integrity.
