AI Policy

The International Journal of Business and Management Innovations recognizes that artificial intelligence (AI) tools can support authors in research, writing, editing, analysis, and other scholarly activities. However, authors remain fully responsible for the accuracy, originality, integrity, and ethical standards of their submitted manuscripts.

1. Use of AI Tools

Authors may use AI-assisted tools for activities such as:

  • Language improvement and grammar correction

  • Spelling and formatting

  • Improving clarity and readability

  • Literature organization and research assistance

  • Data analysis or coding assistance, where appropriate

2. Author Responsibility

AI tools cannot be listed as authors. Authors must take full responsibility for all content submitted to the journal, including AI-assisted content.

Authors should carefully verify AI-generated information because AI systems may produce inaccurate, incomplete, biased, or fabricated information and references.

3. Disclosure of AI Use

If AI tools have been used substantially in preparing a manuscript, authors should disclose the name of the tool and how it was used in an appropriate section of the manuscript.

4. Originality and Plagiarism

Authors must ensure that manuscripts are original and properly acknowledge all sources. Using AI-generated text does not remove the author's responsibility to avoid plagiarism, fabricated references, copyright violations, or other forms of academic misconduct.

5. Research and Data Integrity

AI tools must not be used to fabricate, manipulate, or falsify research data, results, images, references, or findings. Authors remain responsible for verifying all research outputs.

6. Peer Review and Confidentiality

Editors and reviewers should not upload confidential manuscripts, unpublished research, or other protected materials into publicly accessible AI systems where confidentiality cannot be assured.

7. Editorial Decision

The journal reserves the right to request clarification regarding AI use and to take appropriate action if AI-assisted work is found to violate the journal's publication ethics, originality, confidentiality, or research-integrity requirements.

Policy statement: The use of AI is permitted as an assistive technology, but AI cannot replace the intellectual responsibility and accountability of the authors.
