Karachi Islamicus establishes this Generative Artificial Intelligence (Gen AI) Policy to ensure academic integrity, originality, and high-quality scholarly publications. The use of AI tools such as ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, or similar platforms is permitted on a limited basis, specifically for language editing, stylistic refinement, grammar checking, and producing preliminary summaries, provided such use does not replace the authors’ intellectual contribution.

 

However, the use of generative AI to produce scientific content, generate legal analyses, construct scholarly arguments, create citations or references, fabricate data or findings, manipulate research results, or generate text that the authors cannot justify is strictly prohibited and may result in manuscript rejection or retraction.

 

Authors who use AI for technical or linguistic assistance are required to disclose such usage in the Acknowledgement or Author’s Note section with an appropriate statement, and failure to provide this disclosure will be considered a violation of publication ethics. Authors retain full responsibility for the originality of their manuscripts, the accuracy and authenticity of data and references, the validity of scientific analyses, and adherence to ethical standards; AI tools cannot be listed as authors or contributors.

 

Reviewers and editors are prohibited from uploading manuscripts to public AI platforms during the review process to maintain confidentiality and may only use AI tools for language analysis or clarity checking without inputting manuscript content into public systems. To ensure compliance with this policy, Karachi Islamicus may employ AI-detection tools as part of the evaluation process, and any violations may result in manuscript rejection, article retraction, or temporary or permanent submission bans.
