Declaration of Generative Artificial Intelligence (AI) Use

Statement on AI Disclosure Policy

In accordance with the editorial policy of the Journal of Judicial Review (JJR) starting from Volume 27 Number 2 (2025), all authors are required to disclose the use of generative Artificial Intelligence (AI) or AI-assisted technologies in the preparation of their manuscripts. This policy aims to promote transparency, uphold academic integrity, and ensure that all submitted works accurately reflect the authors’ original scholarly contribution.

Accordingly, the authors must include one of the following declarations at the end of the manuscript (before the References section) to state whether generative AI tools were used during the writing process.

Option 1 (If AI Tools Were Used)

Declaration of Generative Artificial Intelligence (AI) Use

“During the preparation of this manuscript, the author(s) used ChatGPT (OpenAI) to assist in improving the clarity, structure, and readability of the text. After using this tool, the author(s) thoroughly reviewed, edited, and verified the entire content to ensure it accurately represents their own ideas and interpretations. The author(s) take full responsibility for the integrity and originality of the published work.”

Editorial Note:
This declaration applies when AI-assisted technologies (e.g., ChatGPT, Gemini, Copilot, and similar tools) were used for language editing, organization, or stylistic refinement only. The use of AI for conceptual development, data analysis, or the generation of scientific conclusions is strictly prohibited. All AI-assisted outputs must be critically reviewed, revised, and validated by the author(s).

Option 2 (If No AI Tools Were Used)

Declaration of Generative Artificial Intelligence (AI) Use

“The author(s) declare that no generative AI or AI-assisted technologies were used in the preparation or writing of this manuscript. All content was produced entirely by the author(s) without any automated assistance.”

Editorial Note:
This statement applies when the manuscript was written solely by the author(s) without using any generative AI tools. The use of standard academic utilities such as grammar-checking tools (e.g., Grammarly), reference managers (e.g., Mendeley, EndNote), or plagiarism checkers does not require disclosure.

Editorial Policy Reminder

The Journal of Judicial Review (JJR) strictly prohibits the use of generative AI or AI-assisted technologies (e.g., ChatGPT or similar tools) by reviewers or editors during the peer-review and evaluation process. This policy is designed to protect authors’ intellectual property rights and ensure confidentiality in the submission and review system. The journal reserves the right to revise this policy in response to future developments in ethical and responsible AI use.
