Gen AI Policy

Authors are permitted to use Generative AI technology (such as ChatGPT, Gemini, or similar tools) to assist with language refinement, sentence structure, and formatting. GenAI technology can also be used to assist authors in developing initial ideas and designing a written outline. However, GenAI may not be used to generate educational research data, classroom observation results, statistical analyses, learning instruments, or other scientific findings that should be derived from legitimate research processes. All information, data, and citations included in the article must be verifiable and are the sole responsibility of the author.

GenAI cannot be listed as an author, as it lacks ethical responsibility or the ability to approve the content of the article. If authors use GenAI in the manuscript preparation process, their use must be honestly and openly stated in the Acknowledgments or Methods section. Editors and reviewers are also not permitted to submit manuscripts to the public GenAI platform to maintain the confidentiality of the peer review process.

Violations of this policy, such as using GenAI to create fictitious educational data, false references, or invalid analyses, may result in the article being rejected, retracted, or the author being sanctioned in accordance with Ceddi Journal of Education regulations. This policy is in place to maintain the scientific integrity and quality of publications in the field of education.
