The Journal of The Utah Academy of Sciences, Arts, and Letters does not consider artificial intelligence (AI)-assisted technologies (such as chatbots, large language models, or image creators) to meet the conditions for authorship. These technologies may not be used to generate or modify research data or results.
Appropriate uses of AI technologies may be considered only if they are part of the research design; these uses must be disclosed in detail in the cover letter and in the article’s methods section or equivalent. The authors are responsible for oversight of any submitted material that involved the use of AI-assisted technologies, including appropriate referencing of said material. The authors are ultimately responsible and accountable for the contents of the work. The use of AI-assisted tools to create or alter images in submitted manuscripts is subject to the same guidelines.
Tools that are used to improve spelling, grammar, and general editing are not included in the scope of these guidelines.
The final decision about whether use of an AI tool is appropriate or permissible in the circumstances of a submitted manuscript or a published article lies with the Board of the UASAL and the Journal’s Editor.
