Therefore, authors submitting scientific articles for review should take into account the following guidelines:

  • Authors will make a declaration that they have NOT employed any type of tool related to generative artificial intelligence in the writing of their scientific article.
  • These tools will only be authorized by the editorial board for the creation of figures or images that represent the content of the manuscript, tables, to adapt the bibliographic references to the citation standards established by the EduSol Journal, graphs or their corresponding captions or legends with mandatory notification to the editor.
  • In this sense, at the end of the manuscript they will write a "Statement of the use of Generative Artificial Intelligence in the scientific article".

  • In case of detecting the use of generative artificial intelligence in the writing of the scientific article submitted, the editors will contact the authors involved in this practice to inform them of the rejection of the article.

In this regard, authors are advised that EduSol Journal assumes the following precepts stipulated by the Committee on Publication Ethics, the United States Copyright Office, among other international organizations:

  • Claiming authorship of content generated by artificial intelligence tools constitutes scientific malpractice.
  • The editorial team promotes transparency with respect to the exceptions in how authors have used artificial intelligence by adhering to the cases established by EduSol Journal.
  • The authorship of a publication entails, among other issues, the assumption of responsibilities and tasks that can only be assigned to and performed by humans.
  • Generative Artificial Intelligence tools should NOT appear as authors in the articles.
  • A writing generated by this type of system could incorporate original ideas from other authors into the text without correctly referencing and citing them, which could be considered as a form of plagiarism.
  • Copyrights will not be able to protect content generated by this type of tools since, as established by the United States Copyright Office (2023), copyrights can only protect material that is the product of human creativity.
