Use of Generative AI

Generative AI Policy

Journal of Energy (Energija) recognizes the growing role of generative artificial intelligence (AI) tools in scientific research, writing, and data analysis. To ensure transparency, integrity, and accountability in scholarly publishing, the following policy applies to all submissions:

• Authorship and Responsibility
  Generative AI tools (e.g., ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, Copilot, etc.) cannot be listed as authors or co-authors. Authors are fully responsible for the accuracy, originality, and integrity of all content submitted, including text, figures, data, and references generated or assisted by AI.

• Disclosure Requirements
  Any use of generative AI tools in the preparation of the manuscript must be clearly disclosed in the Acknowledgments or Methods section. Authors should specify the tool used, version, and the nature of its contribution (e.g., “used to improve language clarity,” “assisted in data visualization,” etc.).

• Ethical Use
  Generative AI should only be used to enhance the quality and clarity of writing, data presentation, or analysis in ways consistent with academic integrity. AI tools must not be used to fabricate data, generate falsified results, or produce deceptive content.

• Data Privacy and Confidentiality
  Authors must ensure that no confidential, proprietary, or unpublished data are shared with generative AI tools that process information externally.

• Editorial and Peer Review
  Reviewers and editors are not permitted to use generative AI tools to summarize or evaluate submitted manuscripts unless such use complies with confidentiality requirements and has been explicitly authorized by the Journal of Energy editorial board.
