Similarity and Plagiarism Policy

To maintain the highest standards of academic integrity, it is the sole responsibility of the author(s) to ensure that their submissions are entirely original. Proper credit must be given through appropriate citations to all external works and ideas utilized within their manuscripts. Plagiarism, in any form, is a breach of ethical publishing practice and is categorically unacceptable within JIAHH.

The editorial team employs rigorous screening procedures, including assessments with Turnitin, to examine all submitted articles for similarity indices and potential plagiarism. Any verbatim material referenced from the author(s)' previous publications or from other sources must be appropriately enclosed in quotation marks and cited correctly.

To uphold these standards, the similarity index for any submitted manuscript must not surpass 10% overall similarity. Moreover, the author(s) must affirm in the author agreement form that their submission meets the prescribed similarity threshold. Specifically, similarity from a single source should not exceed 3%. Should a manuscript exceed the overall similarity threshold of 15%, it will be subject to rejection or conditional acceptance at the discretion of the editorial committee. In such cases, authors may be granted an opportunity to amend their manuscript to align with JIAHH's requirements.

AI-Declaration Policy

Recognizing the rapid advancements in generative artificial intelligence, ScienceIngress Publisher (SIP) journals require a comprehensive declaration of any AI-generated contributions to the writing process. Authors are obligated to disclose the utilization of generative AI tools or services throughout the drafting of their manuscripts. This includes, but is not limited to, well-known tools such as: ChatGPT, Claude 2, Blue Willow, Google Bard, Bing Chat, Microsoft Designer, Notion AI and Midjourney.

Authors must specify the particular tool used, detailing the extent of its application whether for generating text, providing feedback, or assisting in brainstorming. The authors should also reflect on the impact these AI tools may have had on their writing, including enhancements to style, clarity, or depth of content.

It is essential that authors provide full citations for any generative AI tools or services employed, facilitating readers' comprehension of the tools utilized and their effect on the writing process. However, this declaration does not extend to standard tools used for grammar checking, reference management, or similar functions no statement is needed if no AI involvement occurred.
