Next-Generation Computing and AI recognizes that artificial intelligence and generative AI tools are increasingly used in research and scholarly communication.

Author Responsibility

Authors remain fully responsible for the accuracy, originality, integrity, and ethical standards of their submitted manuscripts, regardless of whether AI-assisted tools were used during manuscript preparation.

Disclosure

Where AI or generative AI tools have been used substantially in preparing a manuscript, authors should provide appropriate disclosure in accordance with the journal's instructions.

AI as an Author

AI systems and generative AI tools cannot be listed as authors because authorship carries responsibilities that must be accepted by human researchers.

Research Integrity

Authors must verify AI-generated content and remain responsible for citations, factual claims, data interpretation, analysis, and conclusions.

Peer Review

Reviewers should not upload confidential or unpublished manuscript content to external generative AI systems or other services where confidentiality cannot be assured.
