Statement on the Use of Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) in the Journal “Linguistische Treffen in Wrocław”
The Editorial Board of the journal “Linguistische Treffen in Wrocław” recognizes the growing role of generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) tools in scholarly, editorial, and publishing work, as well as the risks arising from this development. As an academic journal, we are obliged to ensure integrity, transparency, and high academic standards; therefore, we publish the present position statement regarding the use of GenAI technologies.
The Editorial Board of “Linguistische Treffen in Wrocław” emphasizes that artificial intelligence tools may serve a supporting function; however, they are not capable of replacing the creative, critical, and responsible thinking that remains the foundation of scholarly work. For this reason, we recommend restrained and critical use of generative artificial intelligence in the process of preparing articles for publication in “Linguistische Treffen in Wrocław”, with particular attention to the limitations of these tools with regard to the independent creation of substantive content.
Any use of generative artificial intelligence tools must take place under the author’s supervision. The author is obliged to critically evaluate the generated materials and bears full responsibility for the final form of the article.
The Editorial Board of “Linguistische Treffen in Wrocław” underscores the importance of transparency and integrity in the research process. Therefore, authors who use generative artificial intelligence tools while preparing a scholarly article are requested to disclose this fact by indicating the tools used as well as the scope and purpose of their use. This should include the name of the tool used and the nature and extent of its use in the preparation of the manuscript. An appropriate statement must be attached by the author to the manuscript at the time of its submission to “Linguistische Treffen in Wrocław”.
Artificial intelligence tools may not be listed as co-authors. In cases where artificial intelligence tools are used, authors are obliged to verify the content of the publication with regard to fictitious data, false citations, incorrect bibliographic data, and erroneous information. The use of GenAI is prohibited for the following purposes: fabricating results or bibliographies, generating content without verification, circumventing scholarly peer-review procedures, or violating ethical principles. Information about the use of generative artificial intelligence tools will be placed at the end of the published article in the form of an author’s statement reading: During the preparation of this work the author(s) used [TOOL / SERVICE NAME] in order to [REASON]. After using this tool/service, the author(s) reviewed and edited the content as needed and take(s) full responsibility for the content of the publication.
