Mandatory Declaration of Generative AI Use

Al-Mustansiriyah Journal of Science hereby informs authors that a mandatory policy on declaring the use of generative AI or AI-assisted tools in manuscript preparation will take effect starting from Volume 36, Issue 4 (December 2025).

If generative AI or AI-assisted tools were used at any stage of manuscript preparation, authors must include a separate section titled:

Declaration of Generative AI Use

This section must appear immediately before the References and must clearly state:

- The AI tool(s) used (e.g., ChatGPT).

- The specific purpose of use (e.g., language polishing).

- A statement confirming that the authors reviewed, verified, and edited all outputs.

Acceptable sample statement: “During the preparation of this manuscript, the author(s) used [NAME TOOL / SERVICE] [Ex: ChatGPT (OpenAI, model GPT-5.1)] for [REASON] [Ex: language editing and text improvement]. After using this tool, the author(s) thoroughly reviewed and revised the generated content, taking full responsibility for the accuracy and integrity of the final manuscript.”

If no AI tools were used, Authors must explicitly state: “The author(s) declare that no generative AI or AI-assisted technologies were used in the preparation of this manuscript.”

 

Authors must review the Generative AI and AI-Assisted Tools Policy before submission. Access the policy here: https://mjs.uomustansiriyah.edu.iq/index.php/MJS/Generative_AI_policy
