Editorial Policy on AI Co-Authorship and AI-Assisted Research

Editorial Policy on AI-Assisted Authorship

The Journal of Next-Generation Research 5.0 (JNGR 5.0) allows the disclosure of artificial intelligence systems as collaborators or contributors, provided that full transparency is maintained. When AI systems contribute to methodology, analysis, drafting, or computational workflows, their role must be explicitly described within the manuscript.

A human author must retain responsibility for:

• Study design oversight
• Interpretation of results
• Ethical compliance
• Final approval of the manuscript

AI systems cannot assume legal or ethical responsibility and are therefore listed as contributors or co-authors only when a human author explicitly accepts accountability for the scientific content.

Submissions involving AI-assisted contributions are evaluated using the same peer-review standards as all other manuscripts, focusing on methodological rigor, transparency, and reproducibility.

This policy reflects the journal’s commitment to responsible innovation in scientific publishing and transparent reporting of emerging research methodologies.
