- AI use 23. Use of Generative AI and AI-Assisted Technologies
JCAMECH recognizes that generative artificial intelligence (AI) and AI-assisted technologies may be useful in certain aspects of research and manuscript preparation. However, their use must be responsible, transparent, and subject to meaningful human oversight. The policy is designed to protect research integrity, originality, accountability, confidentiality, and the reliability of the scientific …
Source ↗Publisher website ·- Authorship 2. Authorship Guidelines
Authorship requires substantial contributions (conception/design, methodology, data analysis/interpretation, model development, drafting/critical revision, final approval); funding, supervision, admin support alone do not justify authorship; all authors must approve manuscript and agree on one corre Model summary
Authorship should reflect substantial intellectual contributions to the reported research. Authors should have made substantial contributions to one or more of the following: Conception and design of the study; Development of methodology; Acquisition, analysis, or interpretation of data; Development of analytical, numerical, computational, or experimental models; Drafting the manuscript or critica…

Authors must protect anonymity in double-blind review: no identifying information in manuscript, acknowledgements, file properties, or supplementary material; Editorial Office may remove identifying information. Model summary
If generative AI or AI-assisted technology is used in a substantive manner during manuscript preparation, authors must disclose its use. The disclosure should identify: The AI tool or system used; The purpose of its use; and The extent of the authors' review and verification. The statement should be placed immediately before the References under the heading: Declaration of Generative AI and AI-Ass…
