Artificial Intelligence(AI) Policy:
Authors are required to declare in the cover letter accompanying their submission if AI was used in the preparation of their article. Generative AI that creates content is the primary editorial concern. Overreliance on AI or uncritical use of such information may result in submission rejection. If AI is used solely to edit or improve language usage issues, which may prove especially helpful for non-native English authors, this also must be declared in the cover letter. Any manipulation or generation of images or other media using AI similarly must be declared. JIBS reserves the right to use AI and anti-plagiarism detector software to insure high-level academic standards within shifting technological contexts. The remaining AI questions will be addressed on a case-by-case basis in the editorial process as necessary.
