Jurnal Peduli : Jurnal Pengabdian Kepada Masyarakat adopts global publication ethics standards regarding the use of generative Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Large Language Models (LLMs) in scientific publications. This policy binds all parties involved in the publication ecosystem, including Authors, the Editorial Team, and Peer Reviewers.

1. Policy for Authors

• Authorship: AI tools (such as ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Jasper, etc.) cannot be credited as an Author or Co-Author. Authorship implies legal and ethical responsibilities that can only be borne by humans.
• Permitted Use: Authors are allowed to use AI-based tools purely to improve language quality, grammar, and format citations.
• Prohibited Use: Authors are strictly prohibited from using AI to generate substantive text (e.g., background, data analysis, or conclusions), manipulate or fabricate research data, and create fictitious citations or bibliographies.
• Mandatory Disclosure: If authors use generative AI tools beyond basic grammar checking, they must transparently declare its use in the "AI Usage Declaration" or "Acknowledgments" section. The declaration must include the tool's name, version, and the specific purpose of its use.
• Absolute Responsibility: Authors hold full responsibility for the entire content of the manuscript, including factual accuracy, originality, and the absence of plagiarism in content edited or generated with AI assistance.

2. Policy for Editorial Team

• Usage Limits: The Editorial Team is limited in their use of generative AI tools. The use of AI is only permitted for administrative and technical support tasks, such as formatting checks, initial sorting, or plagiarism detection software.
• Independent Editorial Decisions: All strategic decision-making processes regarding the status of a manuscript must be entirely based on the intellectual assessment of human Editors. AI must not be used to make editorial decisions (accept/reject).
• Confidentiality: Editors are strictly prohibited from uploading unpublished manuscripts, assessment reports, or correspondence into public generative AI platforms, as this violates confidentiality and copyright principles.

3. Policy for Peer Reviewers

• Prohibition in Peer Review: Peer Reviewers are strictly prohibited from using AI in any form to draft, process, generate, or polish peer review reports. Peer review requires critical evaluation, specific expertise, and original judgment that can only be provided by a human expert.
• Breach of Confidentiality: Manuscripts submitted to Jurnal Peduli are confidential. Peer Reviewers are prohibited from entering any part of the manuscript into generative AI tools. This is classified as a severe violation of peer review ethics.
