Feature Updates Announcements: Ethical Policy on Generative AI

Sun, 15 Dec 2024 20:27:13 +0700

Dear Authors & Reviewers,

Starting from 2025, on Vol. 3 No. 1, the use or non-use of AI tools must be stated in the article.

Use of AI in Scientific Writing

The Journal of Hypermedia & Technology-Enhanced Learning (J-HyTEL) is dedicated to upholding transparency and maintaining the highest ethical standards in the publication process. In line with this commitment, we have introduced a policy regarding the use of generative AI (GenAI) and AI-assisted technologies in scientific writing.

This policy ensures that all manuscripts submitted to J-HyTEL meet rigorous academic integrity standards while also acknowledging the potential of AI tools to enhance research and writing. We strongly encourage authors to review and familiarize themselves with this policy, which can be found in the Publication Ethics section.

Key Points of the Policy:

Permitted Use of AI in Scientific Writing
Authors may use AI tools to enhance the readability, language, and structure of their manuscripts. However, these tools must always be used under human supervision and cannot replace essential authoring tasks. AI should be used to support the writing process but not to write substantial portions of the manuscript autonomously.
Disclosure Requirements
Any use of AI tools during the writing process must be explicitly disclosed. Authors must provide a clear explanation of how AI was applied, including examples of specific sections or elements of the manuscript that were assisted by AI tools. Tools such as ChatGPT must be mentioned, specifying their role and any relevant details (e.g., the version and manufacturer of the AI tool).
Prohibited Use of AI for Image Creation or Alteration
The use of generative AI or AI-assisted tools to create, alter, or enhance images in submitted manuscripts is strictly prohibited unless such tools are part of the research design or methodology (e.g., AI-assisted imaging approaches in biomedical research). In these cases, the use of AI must be fully described in the Methods section, including how AI was applied to the creation or alteration of images, the specific AI tool(s) used, the version and manufacturer, and any relevant parameters. The authors may also be required to submit pre-AI-adjusted versions or raw images used in creating the final image.
Image Forensics
Submitted manuscripts may be subject to image forensics tools or specialized software to detect any irregularities or suspected manipulations of images. Authors should ensure that all images submitted accurately represent the research data.
Prohibited Use of AI in the Production of Artwork
Generative AI tools should not be used to create artwork such as book covers, commissioned content, or graphical abstracts. All artwork must be created by the authors themselves or be legally sourced from third-party providers.
AI in Peer Review Process
Reviewers are not permitted to use generative AI or AI-assisted tools to evaluate manuscripts or draft reviews. All assessments and feedback must be based on the reviewer’s own expertise and judgment to ensure the integrity and originality of the peer review process (Peer Review Policy).

We encourage all authors and reviewers to adhere to these guidelines to ensure the integrity of their work and uphold the transparency of the academic publishing process.

Please note that this policy is also included in the latest submission template and will be effective starting from Vol. 3, No. 1 (2025) and onwards.

For further details and the full policy, please visit the Publication Ethics page on our website.

Thank you for your cooperation.

Maintenance Announcements: License Update: Transition to CC BY 4.0

Mon, 09 Dec 2024 20:37:12 +0700

We are excited to announce an important update regarding the licensing policy of articles published in the Journal of Hypermedia & Technology-Enhanced Learning (J-HyTEL).

Starting from Vol. 3 No. 1 (2025), all articles in the journal will be licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License (CC BY 4.0 ). This update will apply to all articles published from Vol. 3 No. 1 (2025) onwards.
Articles published in Vol. 1 No. 1 (2023) to Vol. 2 No. 3 (2024) will remain under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International License (CC BY-SA).

What Does This Mean?

Under the new CC BY 4.0 license, readers are free to:

Share: Copy and redistribute the material in any medium or format for any purpose, even commercially.
Adapt: Remix, transform, and build upon the material for any purpose, even commercially.

The licensor cannot revoke these freedoms as long as you follow the license terms.

Key Changes:

Attribution: You must give appropriate credit to the original author(s) and J-HyTEL. This includes providing a link to the license and indicating if any changes were made. You may do this in any reasonable manner, but not in a way that suggests the licensor endorses you or your use of the material.
No Additional Restrictions: You may not apply legal terms or technological measures that legally restrict others from doing anything the license permits.

Why the Change?

This move is intended to provide greater flexibility for both authors and readers. The CC BY 4.0 license allows for a wider distribution of knowledge, encourages collaboration, and supports innovation while allowing commercial use under the condition of proper attribution.

What You Need to Do:

For authors: If you have already published with J-HyTEL, there is no need to take any action. Articles published under CC BY-SA will remain under that license. However, any new submissions from Vol. 3 No. 1 (2025) onwards will be published under the new CC BY 4.0 license.
For readers: You can now freely share, reuse, and adapt published content, provided you give proper attribution as specified under the CC BY 4.0 license.

Thank you for your continued support of open access and scholarly publishing!
