Hasanah in Education (HIE) recognizes the responsible use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) technologies in academic research and scholarly publishing. The journal supports the appropriate use of AI as an assistive tool while maintaining academic integrity, research integrity, transparency, originality, confidentiality, and human accountability.
The use of AI or GenAI does not replace the intellectual contribution, judgment, responsibility, or accountability of authors, reviewers, or editors.
Authors may use AI or GenAI tools for limited and appropriate purposes, including:
Authors must carefully review, verify, and revise all AI-assisted output before submission.
Authors remain fully responsible for the accuracy, originality, validity, interpretation, and ethical integrity of their manuscripts.
Authors must disclose any substantive use of AI or GenAI in the preparation of their manuscripts.
The disclosure should identify:
The disclosure should be included in an AI and Generative AI Disclosure section before the References.
AI and Generative AI Disclosure: During the preparation of this manuscript, the authors used [name of AI tool] for [describe purpose]. The authors reviewed, verified, and revised the AI-assisted output and take full responsibility for the final content of the manuscript.
When no AI or GenAI tools have been used:
AI and Generative AI Disclosure: The authors declare that no generative AI tools were used in the preparation of this manuscript.
Routine spelling, grammar, punctuation, and formatting assistance generally does not require disclosure unless the AI tool has made substantive changes to the manuscript.
AI and GenAI tools cannot be listed as authors or co-authors.
Authorship is reserved for individuals who have made substantial intellectual contributions to the research and manuscript and who can accept responsibility for the published work.
Authors remain accountable for all content generated, modified, or assisted by AI.
AI and GenAI tools may produce inaccurate, incomplete, biased, or fabricated information.
Authors must independently verify all AI-assisted:
Authors must not submit fabricated references or information generated by AI without verification.
AI may be used in research methodology or data analysis when scientifically appropriate and ethically justified.
Where AI materially contributes to data processing, analysis, interpretation, or methodology, authors should clearly describe the AI tool, its role, and relevant methodological details in the manuscript.
Authors remain responsible for assessing the validity, reliability, reproducibility, and limitations of AI-assisted research.
AI must not be used to fabricate, falsify, manipulate, or deceptively alter research data, results, images, or evidence.
The use of AI-generated or AI-assisted images, figures, illustrations, tables, audio, video, or other materials must be disclosed when such materials make a substantive contribution to the manuscript.
Authors must ensure that AI-generated materials comply with applicable copyright, licensing, intellectual property, privacy, and ethical requirements.
AI-generated materials must not be presented as authentic research evidence or original observations when they are not.
Authors must not enter confidential manuscripts, unpublished research data, personally identifiable information, participant information, or other sensitive materials into public or third-party AI systems without appropriate authorization and safeguards.
Authors are responsible for ensuring that AI use complies with applicable institutional, ethical, privacy, and data-protection requirements.
Reviewers must protect the confidentiality of submitted manuscripts.
Reviewers must not upload unpublished manuscripts, confidential research data, reviewer reports, or other protected materials to public or third-party AI systems without explicit authorization and appropriate safeguards.
AI tools must not replace the reviewer's independent scholarly assessment.
Reviewers remain fully responsible for the accuracy, fairness, confidentiality, and recommendations contained in their review reports.
Editors may use AI-assisted tools for appropriate administrative or editorial tasks when confidentiality, privacy, intellectual property, and editorial independence are maintained.
AI must not replace the editor's independent judgment regarding:
Editors remain responsible for all editorial decisions.
HIE may use AI-detection tools as part of its editorial assessment when appropriate.
However, AI-detection results will not be considered conclusive evidence of misconduct on their own, because automated AI-detection systems may produce inaccurate or false-positive results.
Where concerns arise, the editorial team may request clarification or additional information from the authors and conduct further assessment.
AI-assisted writing does not exempt authors from the journal's plagiarism policy.
All manuscripts must comply with HIE's Plagiarism Screening Policy, including the maximum similarity threshold of 20%.
Authors must properly acknowledge and cite sources regardless of whether AI tools were used during manuscript preparation.
The use of AI to disguise plagiarism, generate fabricated references, falsify information, or conceal academic misconduct is prohibited.
AI and GenAI should be used responsibly and transparently.
The following practices are prohibited:
The use of AI does not reduce or transfer the author's responsibility for the manuscript.
Authors are responsible for:
If inappropriate or undisclosed use of AI is identified, HIE may request an explanation from the authors and may take appropriate action depending on the seriousness of the matter.
Possible actions include:
Such actions will be handled in accordance with the journal's Publication Ethics and Retraction and Correction Policy.
HIE may periodically update this policy to reflect developments in AI technology, scholarly publishing practices, research ethics, copyright, privacy, and recommendations from relevant academic and publishing organizations.
Hasanah in Education (HIE) is committed to ensuring that AI and GenAI technologies are used as supportive tools while preserving human authorship, scholarly responsibility, research integrity, and the credibility of the academic record.
