AI Policy Statement

As Artificial Intelligence Generated Content (AIGC), represented by ChatGPT, is transforming traditional academic research and paper writing, Library and Information Service hereby makes the following declaration to maintain academic integrity and research transparency:

In principle, the journal does not accept paper submissions that include AI tools as co-authors, nor should the references include papers listing AI as an author. Authors must be natural persons who can be responsible for the authenticity, completeness, and scientific nature of the paper's content. If the main content of a paper is generated using AI tools, once discovered, it will be treated as academic misconduct.

If AI tools and AI-generated content are used in paper writing, including using AI tools for data collection and analysis, creating images or graphical elements in the paper, generating program algorithms, text, or text polishing, etc., it must be clearly stated in the paper's data sources, method design, or conclusion section. This should detail what AI tools were used, the process of use, and their role and contribution, to allow reviewers and the editorial department to assess the originality of the paper. Papers judged to be suspected of academic misconduct will be directly rejected or retracted.

Scientific research must adhere to the requirements of scientific nature, rigor, standardization, originality, and innovation, and comply with research integrity, academic ethics, and publishing ethics. Paper writing is an important training and reflection of scientific research capabilities; there are no shortcuts, and opportunism should be avoided. We hope that the majority of researchers will adhere to academic standards, maintain academic ethics, and use information tools rationally, standardized, and appropriately for academic research work.
