FAI-JoIS Publication Ethics & Polices:
- Authorship and Citation: Authors should have contributed significantly to the scientific investigation, analysis, and writing of the submitted manuscript, while minor contributions should be listed in the Acknowledgements section. Citation should be responsible, highly relevant, and unbiased, with focus on reputable and accessible References, while unjustified self-citation should be avoided to maintain scientific integrity. Manipulation of authorship and citation to artificially inflate some scholarly metrics is a serious ethical infringement.
- Plagiarism, Self-Plagiarism, and Data Fabrication: Authors must not use the words or ideas from other works (including their own published works) without proper citation, and restrict their wording similarity with existing literature to a maximum of 15%. Figures and Tables from other works should not be included without permission of the copyright holder. FAI takes allegations of scientific infringement, plagiarism, fraud, and ethical disputes very seriously.
- Generative AI Policy: While AI-assisted tools can be helpful in data analysis, the journal does not permit the use of AI-generated text, figures, or images in the submitted manuscript unless this process is declared by the Authors as part of the proposed work, along with a reference to the AI-generation tool used in that work. On the other hand, the use of AI-tools is not permitted in the journal peer-review or editorial processes.
- Post-Publication: The journal accepts corrections or comments on published papers. Published papers with confirmed issues of plagiarism or other scientific misconduct will be declared as “Retracted”.
- Copyright: The authors retain the copyright of their article and grant the FAI a license to publish it.
- Complaints: Any concerns regarding the publication process should be directed to the journal admin via email: JoIS@fractalai.org.uk.
