Policy on the Responsible Use of Artificial Intelligence
The journal Chihuahua Hoy adheres to the Principles of the Heredia Declaration on the Responsible Use of Artificial Intelligence in Scientific Publishing.
The journal Chihuahua Hoy will reject manuscripts that, after being analyzed using Turnitin and iThenticate tools and reviewed by the editorial staff, yield a report indicating that more than 25% of the text was generated by artificial intelligence.
We approve the use of AI for minimal research tasks, as described in the Heredia Declaration. These principles are adapted below to the journal’s needs. They can be viewed in full at: Heredia Declaration.
On the role of authorship
1. Language models, chatbots, or generative AI are not considered authors.
2. The use of AI in the preparation of articles or reviews must be explicitly declared at any stage of the process.
It is necessary to indicate at least:
- The AI model, its version, and the date of use.
- How it was used, identifying the interactions and combinations that can be established between models.
- Which AI-generated products and formats were incorporated into the document.
- Cite and reference the AI model used.
3. The authors are solely responsible for all responses and outputs generated by AI and must ensure that they are accurate.
4. Personal, confidential, sensitive, or third-party data must be protected when there is no explicit authorization to use it as part of queries to an AI model.
On the role of review
5. Interaction with AI does not replace the expert judgment or accountability of individuals in a review role. The responsibility for the judgment rendered lies with the reviewer.
6. When AI has been incorporated as a complement to the review, this must be indicated to the editorial team, reporting the model name, version, date of use, and the prompt used.
7. Reviewers must account for their interaction with the AI, what inputs they received, and how much of those inputs were considered in their observations, comments, recommendations, and requests for corrections.
On the role of editing
8. Tools will be used to detect the use of AI in submitted documents prior to peer review.
9. The editing of documents must not depend on the use of AI. Responsibility for the editing process lies with the editor and the editorial team supporting them.
