Posted on: 26 April 2026

This policy of the journal «Actual problems of innovation economy and law» establishes standards for the responsible, transparent, and ethical use of generative artificial intelligence (AI) in the editorial process. The regulations are based on the principles of COPE (Committee on Publication Ethics), recommendations of WAME (World Association of Medical Editors), and provisions of the Law of Ukraine “On Education” regarding academic integrity.

1. Use of AI by authors

Generative AI is considered solely as an auxiliary tool. It cannot be indicated as a co-author and should not replace the intellectual contribution of the researcher.

  • Allowed: Use of AI for linguistic correction, translation, technical layout of schemes, or preparation of initial drafts, which are subject to further in-depth authorial processing.
  • Prohibited: Generation of scientific hypotheses, conclusions, interpretation of results, or creation of fictitious statistical data and citations.
  • Responsibility: Authors are personally responsible for the authenticity, accuracy, and originality of the material, regardless of the level of involvement of AI tools.

2. Declaration and transparency

Any involvement of AI technologies must be openly declared in the text of the manuscript (in the “Materials and Methods” or “Acknowledgments” section). The statement must indicate:

  1. Full name and version of the AI tool.
  2. Specific tasks that were performed using AI.

Note: Hidden or incorrect use of AI is considered a violation of academic integrity and publication ethics.

3. Restrictions for reviewers and editors

In order to protect copyright and maintain confidentiality:

  • Reviewers are prohibited from uploading manuscripts (or their fragments) to external AI platforms, as well as using AI to write expert opinions or analyze content.
  • Reviewers are allowed to use AI exclusively for technical editing of their own review text.
  • Editors have the right to request additional explanations regarding the use of AI and reject manuscripts if signs of undeclared content generation are detected.

4. Content and authenticity

All elements of the article (text, tables, graphics) created or modified using AI must be appropriately labeled. Any manifestations of data fabrication or creation of unreproducible materials through AI are an unconditional basis for rejection of the manuscript or retraction of an already published article.

5. Legal compliance

The editorial board of the journal guarantees that all published materials comply with:

  • Standards of academic integrity in accordance with the legislation of Ukraine.
  • Requirements of the Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine for the prevention of plagiarism.
