Generative AI in Writing and Reviewing

JHTS follows the COPE position on authorship and AI tools. [TO CONFIRM]

Authors

• AI tools cannot be authors: they cannot take responsibility for the work, approve the final version or answer for its integrity.
• If you used a generative AI tool in the research or writing (beyond basic spelling and grammar checking), say so in the Methodology or in a note, naming the tool and how it was used.
• You are responsible for everything in your manuscript, including checking any AI-assisted text, translation or references for accuracy and for plagiarism.
• Fabricated references, data or quotations are research misconduct, whatever their source.

Reviewers

Manuscripts under review are confidential. Reviewers must not upload a manuscript, or any part of it, to a generative AI tool, and must not use such tools to write their reports.

Editors

Editors do not upload submissions to generative AI tools and do not use them to make editorial decisions. Similarity checking is done with the journal’s plagiarism-detection service.
