This Policy on the use of artificial intelligence applies to all journals of the publishing company World of Science LLC (hereinafter «the Publisher»).

Publication date: 30th December 2025

Policy on the use of artificial intelligence

Purpose: This policy establishes the principles and requirements for the use of generative artificial intelligence (AI) tools in the preparation, review, and editing of materials submitted to journals of Mir Nauki Publishing House. Its purpose is to ensure transparency and uphold key scientific principles: authorship, responsibility, originality, and integrity.

Basic Principle: Authors bear full responsibility for the content of their work , including any portions created or processed using AI. The use of AI does not relieve authors of their responsibility for the accuracy, reliability, ethical standards, and originality of the data and text presented.

Use of AI by authors

Acceptable Use: AI tools may be used in support roles:

  • improving readability and grammar (as an advanced spell checker);
  • checking and adjusting style;
  • translation and proofreading of texts for native speakers of other languages;
  • generating ideas or helping with structuring at early stages;
  • data analysis or calculations (with explicit indication of the method and tool);
  • assistance in creating graphs, diagrams, and images (with mandatory indication that AI was used and confirmation of the originality of the data).

Unauthorized use (prohibited):

  • generation of key scientific elements without significant human control: hypotheses, interpretations of results, conclusions, literature reviews.
  • creation of complete sections of an article (Introduction, Discussion, etc.) without deep intellectual input, checking and editing by the author.
  • generating synthetic data, images, illustrations, or links that appear to be real.

Use of AI by reviewers and editors

Reviewers and editors are prohibited from uploading manuscripts or parts of them to public AI systems (due to the risk of data privacy violations).

The main intellectual work (evaluation, criticism, recommendation) must be performed by a person.

Declaration requirements

Authors are required to disclose the use of AI in a dedicated section of the accompanying table when submitting their article.

All AI models used for analysis or generating results must be described in detail: architecture (if relevant), model version, hyperparameters, training data sources, validation procedures, applied metrics, and code/scripts to reproduce the results or a link to a repository.

If commercial or proprietary models were used, the authors should, where possible, provide access to the input data, seed values, and generation parameters to ensure reproducibility. If this is not possible under the license, the limitations should be described in detail and alternative methods for verifying the results should be provided.

What should be indicated:

1. Tool: AI service/model name, version (e.g. ChatGPT-4, DeepSeek, Gemini, etc.).

2. Scope: how exactly the AI ​​was used (e.g.: “to check English text”, “to suggest a discussion structure”, “to analyze data using…”).

Example wording: «In preparing this work, the authors used [Name of AI tool] for the purpose of [description of purpose]. After using this tool, the authors read and edited the content and bear full responsibility for the content of the publication.»

Authorship and intellectual contribution

AI cannot be listed as a co-author. Authorship is assigned only to individuals who have made a significant intellectual contribution to the concept, design, execution, or interpretation of the study.

Fabrication and falsification of data using AI

The use of AI to create fictitious research data, falsify experimental results, or generate «fake» data sets that are passed off as real is strictly prohibited.

Any synthetic or simulated data must be clearly labeled, described in detail in the methods , and justified with limitations. If synthetic data is used to train models, this must be disclosed and supported by the availability of source code/settings for verification.

Responsibility and Ethics

The authors are responsible for any errors, falsifications, or ethical violations arising from the use of AI, including algorithmic bias, breach of confidentiality of data fed to AI, or violation of license agreements.

Authors must comply with the terms of use of the AI ​​tools they select (e.g., data privacy policy).

Consequences

Failure to comply with this policy (failure to declare or inappropriate use of AI) at any stage of manuscript review is grounds for immediate rejection of the manuscript.
