GenAI Use Policy

Maʿālim Policy for Use of Artificial Intelligence in Publishing and Reviewing

The Maʿālim editorial team acknowledge the increase in availability and use of Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) in academic research and set out the following rules in relation to how authors and editorial members should work with GenAI.

1. Generative AI cannot be listed as an author on Maʿālim publications. An author must be able to agree to and be accountable for the aspects of their authorship under the CRediT taxonomy, which an AI cannot do.

2. Authors need to acknowledge the contribution made by Generative AI tools to any aspects of the research published. In the acknowledgement section the authors should outline the specific tasks AI was used to complete, including (but not limited to) research design, data analyses, data visualisation, text creation/editing, etc.).

3. Maʿālim Reviewers do not have permission to use Generative AI to complete any reviews of Maʿālim articles. Sharing articles under review with third party AI providers for this purpose may contravene authors’ intellectual property rights to their work.
