The Journal of Aerospace & Security Studies acknowledges the potential utility of AI tools while underlining the need for academic integrity and originality. Under the journal’s policy:
- AI-Generated Content Threshold: AI-generated content used within academic writing must not exceed 21% of the total content. This threshold ensures minimal reliance on AI while allowing for an acceptable margin for false positives in AIdetection tools, recognising that incidental or negligible usage is not inherently indicative of misconduct.
- Promoting Critical Engagement: Researchers and authors are encouraged to ensure that any permitted AI usage does not replace substantive intellectual engagement, analysis, or contribution by the individual.
- Scrutiny and Validation: All submissions will undergo scrutiny to verify adherence to this threshold. Researchers are advised to ensure their content remains primarily human generated to meet these standards and uphold the journal’s commitment to academic excellence.
Review and Amendment
This policy is subject to periodic review to ensure its alignment with international best practices and advancements in technology. Revisions may be made to reflect evolving standards, new insights, or changes in the academic and technological environment. Any updates or amendments will be communicated via the journal’s website.
