Samvakti Journals recognizes that Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools may support research and manuscript preparation. To ensure transparency, research integrity, and ethical publishing standards, all authors must follow the guidelines outlined in this policy.

This policy applies to all journals published under Samvakti Pvt. Ltd.

AI tools may assist with writing, analysis, or figure preparation, but they cannot replace the intellectual contribution of authors.
Authors are responsible for:

• The originality and accuracy of all content
• Proper citation and evidence-based research
• Ensuring no fabricated, falsified, or misleading information is included
• Verifying all AI-assisted output manually
• Complying with all journal policies and ethical standards

AI-generated content must never compromise the integrity of scholarly work.

AI tools may be used for:

• Grammar and language enhancements
• Improving readability
• Formatting or structuring text
• Generating draft visualizations (with verification)
• Supporting non-critical editing tasks

Such use must be supervised, verified, and disclosed.

AI systems must not be used for:

• Generating entire manuscripts or large sections of text
• Producing fabricated or unverifiable data
• Writing the literature review, interpretation, or conclusions
• Creating false or manipulated images, tables, or results
• Drafting reference lists or citations that are not verified
• Replacing author judgment or responsibility
• Conducting peer review or evaluating manuscripts

AI tools cannot be listed as authors.

If authors use any AI tools, they must include a statement in the manuscript acknowledging such use.

Examples of acceptable disclosures:

• “AI-assisted tools were used for grammar and readability improvements. All scientific content and interpretations were authored by the researchers.”
• “Figures were generated using [AI tool name] and verified by the authors.”
• “AI tools were used for preliminary data structuring, and all results were reviewed and validated by the authors.”

If no AI was used:

“The authors declare that no AI tools were used in the preparation of this manuscript.”

Failure to disclose AI use is treated as a violation of journal ethics.

Even when AI tools are used:

• Authors remain fully responsible for the accuracy of text, data, images, and references.
• All AI-generated suggestions must be checked manually.
• Authors must ensure no copyright, privacy, or ethical rules are violated.
• If AI tools were used for figure creation or dataset processing, authors must describe the process clearly and provide enough detail for reproducibility.

AI output cannot be accepted without verification.

If AI or machine learning techniques were used for data processing, authors must:

• Describe the model(s) used
• Provide parameters, datasets, and versions
• Ensure results are reproducible
• Explain how AI contributed to the analysis

Opaque or unverifiable AI-driven results may lead to rejection.

Editors and reviewers must not use AI tools to:

• Evaluate manuscripts
• Upload unpublished content into AI systems
• Summarize or analyze confidential manuscripts

This protects confidentiality, data privacy, and author rights.

Misuse of AI tools or failure to disclose AI assistance may result in:

• Immediate manuscript rejection
• Requests for revision or clarification
• Retraction of published articles
• Reporting to authors’ institutions in severe cases
• Restrictions on future submissions

Such cases fall under the Research Misconduct Policy.

This policy complements and must be read alongside:

• Plagiarism & Similarity Check Policy
• Research Misconduct Policy
• Retraction / Correction / Withdrawal Policy
• Data Availability Policy

All journal policies must be followed together.
