Journal Policy for Artificial Intelligence

Policy of Al-Fath Journal for Educational and Psychological Research on Research Utilizing or Addressing Artificial Intelligence

The Editorial Board of Al-Fath Journal welcomes high-quality research that employs artificial intelligence (AI) techniques as a research tool, or studies various aspects of artificial intelligence as a subject of investigation. Recognizing the rapid development and increasing impact of artificial intelligence in scientific research, the journal is committed to ensuring the highest standards of scientific integrity, transparency, and ethical responsibility in this field.

In this context, the Editorial Board wishes to summarize its policy regarding research that utilizes or addresses artificial intelligence through the following principles:

1. Using Artificial Intelligence as a Research Tool:

   • Transparency and Disclosure: Authors should fully and clearly disclose in the acknowledgment or methodology section any use of AI tools (such as large language models - LLMs, or text and image generation tools) at any stage of preparing the research, including but not limited to:
     • Drafting parts of the text (introduction, literature review, discussion).
     • Data analysis.
     • Generating summaries or keywords.
     • Improving linguistic phrasing or spelling and grammatical checking.
     • Generating ideas or titles.
   • Full Responsibility of Authors: The primary responsibility for the content of the research, including the accuracy of data, validity of conclusions, and adherence to scientific integrity, rests entirely and exclusively with the authors, even when using AI tools. AI cannot be considered an author or co-author.
   • Human Review: Any content generated or improved by AI should undergo thorough and careful human review to ensure its accuracy, originality, and relevance to the scientific context.

2. Research Addressing Artificial Intelligence as a Subject of Study:

   • Accuracy and Scientific Methodology: Such research should adhere to the highest standards of scientific methodology, with a precise description of the models, algorithms, datasets used, and evaluation methods.
   • Ethical Considerations: The Editorial Board pays special attention to research addressing the ethical, social, and legal aspects of artificial intelligence. Authors should responsibly and comprehensively address these aspects where appropriate.
   • Reproducibility: The Editorial Board encourages authors to provide code and datasets (considering data privacy) to ensure the reproducibility of results wherever possible.

3. Plagiarism and Academic Integrity:

   • The Editorial Board treats any use of AI that leads to plagiarism (whether self-plagiarism or from other sources) or misleads readers about the source of the content as a serious violation of its publishing policy.
   • All manuscripts are subject to rigorous plagiarism detection, including content that may have been generated by AI without disclosure.

4. Peer Review:

   • Research utilizing or addressing artificial intelligence is evaluated by the same rigorous standards applied to all submissions to the journal, with a particular focus on methodology, transparency, accuracy, and ethical considerations.

5. Continuous Policy Updates:

   • Given the rapid developments in the field of artificial intelligence, the journal periodically reviews and updates its policy to ensure it remains aligned with the latest advancements and best practices in scientific publishing.

We hope that this policy contributes to enhancing the quality of research in the field of artificial intelligence and raises its efficiency to ensure responsible and ethical publication.

In conclusion, the Editorial Board expresses its gratitude and appreciation to the authors for their commitment to these principles.
