This policy reflects Polaris Global Research Organization Inc. Publisher’s commitment to safeguarding academic honesty, human authorship, and the integrity of the scholarly record.

If AI involvement is suspected, authors may be required to:

  • Retraction of articles already published

  • Permanent blacklisting of the author(s) from Polaris Global Research Organization Inc. Publisher journals

  • AI tools may not be used to summarize, analyze, or comment on manuscripts

  • Confidential manuscript content must not be uploaded to AI systems

  • Review reports must be written entirely by the reviewer

Violations may result in suspension from Polaris Global Research Organization Inc. Publisher’s reviewer database.

All editorial activities within Polaris Global Research Organization Inc. Publisher—screening, decision-making, editing, and production—must be performed without AI. Editorial staff may not use AI to generate communication, decisions, edits, or content.

Only human judgment is permitted at every stage.
