Updated Publication Ethics and Generative AI Policy

28-06-2026

The International Journal of Research and Community Empowerment (IJoRCE) has updated its Publication Ethics and Malpractice Statement and Generative Artificial Intelligence Utilization Policy to strengthen transparency, accountability, confidentiality, editorial independence, peer-review integrity, authorship responsibility, and protection of the scholarly record. The main updates include clearer responsibilities for editors, reviewers, authors, and editorial staff; stronger guidance on authorship disputes and authorship changes; clearer procedures for complaints and appeals, research misconduct, corrections, errata, corrigenda, expressions of concern, manuscript withdrawal, article retraction, article removal, article replacement, and post-publication changes; and clarification that any administrative, review-related, technical, or production-related charges are governed by the journal’s Publication Fees Policy and do not influence editorial decisions.

IJoRCE has also clarified the responsible use of generative artificial intelligence (Gen AI), AI-assisted technologies, and language-assistance tools. Authors must disclose any use of such tools in the manuscript, including tools used for grammar checking, spelling checking, punctuation checking, language polishing, translation, paraphrasing, readability improvement, reference assistance, coding assistance, data-related assistance, figure preparation, or other manuscript-related support. AI tools cannot be credited as authors or co-authors and must not be used to replace scholarly judgment, fabricate data or declarations, manipulate images, conceal plagiarism, manipulate citations, or generate false, inaccurate, unverifiable, non-existent, fabricated, or misleading citations and references. Reviewers may use AI only for limited language-support purposes in preparing review reports, while editors may use local, private, secure, or journal-controlled AI tools only for limited supportive purposes. In all cases, confidentiality, privacy, peer-review integrity, editorial independence, and human accountability must be maintained.
