An-Nisa' Journal of Gender Studies recognizes that the use of generative artificial intelligence (AI) is becoming increasingly common in various stages of the academic process, including writing, reviewing, and managing scientific manuscripts. To ensure academic integrity, publication ethics, and the quality of gender studies are maintained, this journal adopts and adapts international policies, particularly those from Elsevier, regarding the use of AI by authors, reviewers, and editors. This policy is formulated as a guide to good practice relevant to the needs of An-Nisa' Journal of Gender Studies.
For Authors
An-Nisa' Journal of Gender Studies allows the use of generative artificial intelligence (AI) as a writing tool, such as initial literature searches, manuscript organization, and language and readability improvements. However, AI should not replace the author's critical thinking and academic analysis, who remains fully responsible for the accuracy, integrity, and originality of the entire manuscript. Any use of AI must be openly stated by mentioning the name of the tool and its purpose, except for spelling and grammar corrections. AI cannot be listed as an author, nor is it permitted to be used to generate or modify images and illustrations, unless it is part of the research method and is clearly explained in the manuscript. This policy is implemented to maintain publication ethics, the authenticity of scientific work, and the trust of all parties in the publishing process.
For Reviewers
In the manuscript review process at An-Nisa' Journal of Gender Studies, reviewers are required to maintain the confidentiality of manuscripts and review reports. Reviewers are not permitted to upload manuscripts, parts of manuscripts, or review reports into artificial intelligence (AI) tools, including for language improvement, as this may violate the confidentiality, data privacy, and intellectual property rights of the author. Scientific assessment in the peer review process must be conducted critically and independently by humans, so the use of AI for substantive analysis of manuscripts is not permitted. Reviewers are fully responsible for the content of their review reports. The journal may use secure internal AI technology to support the editorial process, such as checking for manuscript completeness and plagiarism, while maintaining confidentiality and data protection.
For Editors
In the editorial process of An-Nisa' Journal of Gender Studies, editors are required to maintain the confidentiality of manuscripts and all editorial communications. Editors are not permitted to upload manuscripts or editorial correspondence into artificial intelligence (AI) tools, including for language improvement, as this risks violating confidentiality, data privacy, and intellectual property rights. Editorial assessment and decision-making are entirely the responsibility of humans and cannot be assisted by AI. Editors are responsible for the integrity of the editorial process, final decisions, and communication with authors, including following up on alleged violations of AI usage policies. The journal may use secure internal AI technology to support administrative processes, such as checking manuscript completeness and plagiarism, while maintaining data protection and confidentiality.
