Sriwijaya Journal of Environment (SJE) recognises the growing role of generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) and AI-assisted technologies in research and scholarly writing. This policy follows the position of the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE) and applies to authors, reviewers, and editors.

Use by Authors

Authors may use generative AI and AI-assisted tools for language editing, formatting, coding support, or the organisation of ideas, provided that such use is disclosed in an “AI Use Statement” that specifies the tool and the purpose of use. Generative AI tools cannot be listed as authors, because they cannot take responsibility for the content, integrity, or originality of the work. Authors remain fully and solely responsible for the accuracy, integrity, originality, data, analysis, citations, and conclusions of their manuscript.

Use by Reviewers and Editors

To protect confidentiality, reviewers and editors must not upload manuscripts, unpublished data, reviewer reports, or confidential correspondence to public or non-secure AI tools. Editors may use AI only for administrative tasks that do not replace independent scientific judgement. Undisclosed use of AI that affects the integrity of the work is treated as a breach of publication ethics.
