Good Researchers Do Genuine Research
You’ve done original research. Protect it. Your findings must remain authentic and unchanged to preserve their value and credibility.
Drafting Your Research Paper
Everyone makes language errors—they don’t reflect research quality if corrected. AI tools can help improve grammar and clarity, but use them carefully to ensure your meaning stays accurate and unchanged.
Using Generative AI Tools
AI tools (like GPT, Deepseek, etc.) can alter meaning even when only editing, unintentionally rewriting your paper and risking distortion or exaggeration of your claims.
Use of Basic Grammar Tools
These tools give you full control by letting you choose which edits to accept, improving grammar and clarity with minimal risk of distortion.
Conduct Thorough Human Evaluation
Publishers recommend carefully reviewing every AI-introduced change. If English isn’t your first language, ask colleagues or experts to help keep your research’s meaning, tone, and accuracy clear.
Disclose AI Use and Verify Review
Disclose which AI tools you used and explain how you verified every AI-generated output. Transparency builds trust and ensures compliance with journal and publisher policies.

Best Practice Leads to Acceptance
Evaluate all AI edits carefully and disclose tool use to ensure transparency, protect integrity, and avoid rejection or retraction.
Rejection or Retraction
Without proper human verification and full AI disclosure, your paper risks rejection or, worse, retraction—leading to career damage and loss of credibility. Journals take this seriously. One mistake can destroy years of work and your reputation.
