会員各位

この度、エルゼビア社より、論文執筆時のAIおよびAI支援技術の使用に関して、新しいポリシーを設定することになった旨、通知がありました。JIC誌は、それに応じた投稿規定に改訂することになりましたので、お知らせ致します。

科学コミュニケーションにおけるAIおよびAI支援技術の使用に関するポリシー

• 著者は、AIおよびAI支援技術を、論文の読みやすさや言語の改善にのみ使用し、研究者の代替とするものではない。
• 著者は、人による監視と制御を伴う場合において、このAIテクノロジーを適用する。
• 著者は、AIおよびAI支援技術の使用について論文で開示する。
• AIおよびAI支援技術を著者または共著者としてリストしたり、AIを著者として引用したりしない。

投稿規定（Guide for Authors）追加文

The use and declaration of AI and AI-assisted technologies in scientific writing

Where authors use artificial intelligence (AI) and AI-assisted technologies in the writing process, authors should:

• Only use these technologies to improve readability and language, not to replace key researcher tasks such as interpreting data or drawing scientific conclusions.
• Apply the technology with human oversight and control, and carefully review and edit the result, as AI can generate authoritative-sounding output that can be incorrect, incomplete or biased.
• Not list AI and AI-assisted technologies as an author or co-author, or cite AI as an author. Authorship implies responsibilities and tasks that can only be attributed to and performed by humans, as outlined in Elsevier’s AI policy for authors.
• Disclose in their manuscript the use of AI and AI-assisted technologies in the writing process by following the instructions below. A statement will appear in the published work. Please note that authors are ultimately responsible and accountable for the contents of the work.

Disclosure instructions

Authors must disclose the use of AI and AI-assisted technologies in the writing process by adding a statement at the end of their manuscript in a new section entitled ‘Declaration of AI and AI-assisted technologies in the writing process’. Statement: During the preparation of this work the author(s) used [NAME TOOL / SERVICE] in order to [REASON]. After using this tool/service, the author(s) reviewed and edited the content as needed and take(s) full responsibility for the content of the publication. This declaration does not apply to the use of basic tools for checking grammar, spelling, references etc. If there is nothing to disclose, there is no need to add a statement.
