Use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) Policy

Policy on the Use of Artificial Intelligence

The Journal of Creative Perspectives (JCP) recognizes that generative artificial intelligence (AI) tools, including large language models (LLMs) and other AI-based writing, research, or editing tools, are increasingly used in academic work. JCP permits the use of AI tools as a supporting instrument in the research and writing process, subject to the following conditions.

For Authors

• Authors may use AI tools to assist with tasks such as language editing, formatting, literature searching, or idea development.
• AI tools cannot be listed as an author or co-author of a submission, and cannot be cited as an original source of knowledge or data.
• Authors must disclose any use of generative AI that goes beyond basic language correction, editing, or formatting. This includes AI used to generate text, ideas, code, data analysis, or images included in the manuscript.
• Disclosed AI use must be described in an AI Declaration, placed immediately before the Reference list/Bibliography of the manuscript. The declaration must state:
  • Which AI tool(s) were used (name and, where relevant, version)
  • What the tool was used for (e.g., "used to improve language clarity in the Discussion section," "used to generate an initial literature summary," "used to assist with data visualization code")
  • Confirmation that the author(s) reviewed, verified, and take full responsibility for the accuracy and originality of all AI-assisted content
• Authors remain fully responsible for the accuracy, originality, and integrity of their entire manuscript, including any content produced with the help of AI tools.

Example AI Declaration:

"During the preparation of this work, the author(s) used [tool name, e.g., ChatGPT/Claude] to [specific purpose, e.g., improve the readability of the Introduction section]. After using this tool, the author(s) reviewed and edited the content as needed and take full responsibility for the content of the publication."

For Reviewers and Editors

• Peer reviewers and editors must not use generative AI tools to write or generate their review reports or editorial assessments, due to risks including breaches of confidentiality of unpublished work, superficial or non-specific feedback, bias, and inaccurate or fabricated information.
• Limited use of AI tools for language editing or rewriting of a reviewer's or editor's own draft comments is acceptable, provided no confidential manuscript content is submitted to third-party AI systems, and provided such use is disclosed to the editorial office upon request.

Oversight

Any routine use of automated or AI-based tools by the journal or editorial office itself (e.g., for plagiarism screening or administrative tasks) will be disclosed on this page. All use of automated tools, whether by authors, reviewers, or the journal, remains subject to human oversight — an editor or member of the editorial team will review flagged instances of undeclared AI use, text similarity, or other integrity concerns before a final editorial decision is made.
