AI Tools Usage Policy
IQRA': Jurnal Perpustakaan dan Informasi actively monitors the use of Artificial Intelligence in academic publishing to strictly uphold research integrity.

Guidelines for Authors

  • No AI-Generated Content: You may not use Generative AI (e.g., Gemini, ChatGPT, Claude and other large language models) to write the core substance, arguments, or data analysis of your manuscript.

  • Permitted Use: AI assistance is strictly limited to light language polishing, grammar proofreading, or minor paraphrasing.

  • Similarity Limits: Overall text similarity and AI-generated content must remain below 20% upon official Turnitin evaluation.

Acceptable Use of AI Tools

Authors may employ AI tools for certain limited purposes, provided the following conditions are strictly adhered to:

Permissible Uses:

  • Correcting grammar, spelling, and punctuation
  • Enhancing clarity, tone, or writing style
  • Formatting references and citations
  • Conducting preliminary literature searches
  • Supporting (but not replacing) statistical modeling or analysis
  • Creating visual aids or illustrations, if ethically sourced and critically reviewed

Prohibited Uses:

AI tools must not be employed to:

  • Generate entire manuscripts or significant portions of original content without appropriate attribution and human oversight
  • Fabricate or falsify data, findings, or visuals
  • Translate scholarly content without human verification
  • Summarize or paraphrase existing literature in ways that constitute plagiarism
  • Produce content that infringes upon copyright or uses third-party materials without authorization
