Plagiarism and Generative AI Tool Policy

The Journal of Computing Research and Innovation (JCRINN) is committed to maintaining academic integrity, originality, and responsible scholarly publishing. All manuscripts submitted to the journal must be original work and must not contain plagiarism, fabricated content, falsified data, improper citation, duplicate publication, or any form of unethical academic practice.

Plagiarism Screening

All submitted manuscripts shall be screened using plagiarism detection software such as Turnitin or iThenticate. The journal applies a permissible similarity threshold of less than 20%, excluding references, bibliography, standard methodological terms, and properly quoted text where applicable.

A manuscript with a similarity index of 20% or above may be returned to the authors for correction, rejected during the initial screening stage, or subjected to further editorial investigation. A high similarity score does not automatically mean plagiarism has occurred, but it requires editorial assessment. Similarly, a low similarity score does not automatically guarantee that the manuscript is free from plagiarism.

Forms of Plagiarism

Plagiarism includes, but is not limited to, copying text, ideas, data, figures, tables, images, methods, or results from another source without proper acknowledgement. It also includes self-plagiarism, duplicate submission, redundant publication, inappropriate paraphrasing, citation manipulation, and the use of another person’s work without permission or attribution.

Penalties for Plagiarism

If plagiarism is detected before publication, the manuscript may be rejected immediately. The authors may also be asked to provide an explanation, revise the manuscript, or submit supporting documentation where necessary. Serious or repeated cases of plagiarism may result in the authors being barred from submitting to the journal for a specified period determined by the editorial board.

If plagiarism is detected after publication, the journal may issue a correction, expression of concern, or retraction, depending on the severity of the case. The authors’ institution, funding body, or relevant authority may be notified where appropriate. The final decision on plagiarism-related action shall be made by the Chief Editor in consultation with the editorial board.

Use of Generative AI Tools

Authors may use Generative AI tools, including tools such as ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, Microsoft Copilot, Grammarly, or similar systems, only for limited and responsible purposes. Permitted uses include language editing, grammar correction, formatting assistance, summarising author-written notes, improving readability, and assisting with non-substantive manuscript preparation.

Generative AI tools must not be used to fabricate data, generate false citations, create misleading results, produce fake images, manipulate research findings, replace authorial analysis, or write substantial parts of the manuscript without proper author verification and accountability. Authors remain fully responsible for the accuracy, originality, validity, and integrity of all content submitted to the journal.

AI-Generated Content and Authorship

Generative AI tools cannot be listed as authors or co-authors. Authorship is limited to human contributors who meet the journal’s authorship criteria and who can take responsibility for the submitted work. Authors must carefully verify any AI-assisted text, citation, data interpretation, or technical output before submission.

The use of Generative AI does not remove the authors’ responsibility for plagiarism, citation accuracy, research ethics, data integrity, and compliance with journal policies. Any inaccurate, misleading, fabricated, or unethical content generated or assisted by AI tools shall remain the responsibility of the authors.

Disclosure of Generative AI Use

Authors must disclose the use of Generative AI tools in manuscript preparation where such tools have been used beyond basic grammar correction or spelling assistance. The disclosure should state the name of the tool, the purpose of use, and the part of the manuscript affected. This disclosure may be included in the acknowledgement section, method section, or a separate declaration, depending on the nature of use.

Example disclosure statement: “The authors used [name of AI tool] to assist with language editing and readability improvement. The authors reviewed, verified, and take full responsibility for the final content of the manuscript.”

Prohibited Use of Generative AI

The journal prohibits the use of Generative AI tools to create fabricated research data, generate non-existent references, alter images or figures in a misleading manner, produce false peer review responses, impersonate authors, or conceal plagiarism. The use of AI tools to bypass plagiarism detection, peer review, authorship responsibility, or research ethics requirements is strictly prohibited.

Editorial Action on Undisclosed or Improper AI Use

If improper or undisclosed use of Generative AI is suspected, the journal may request clarification, supporting documents, original data, draft history, or a revised declaration from the authors. If the explanation is unsatisfactory, the manuscript may be rejected. If the issue is identified after publication, the journal may issue a correction, expression of concern, or retraction, depending on the seriousness of the case.

The final decision on cases involving plagiarism, similarity concerns, or improper use of Generative AI shall rest with the Chief Editor, in consultation with the editorial board where necessary.
