Art Inquiries

Publication Ethics Statement

Art Inquiries is committed to ethical publication practices and expects all submitting authors to uphold the standards of publication ethics set out by the Commission on Publication Ethics (COPE). Any case of ethical misconduct will be treated seriously and in accordance with the COPE guidelines. See https://publicationethics.org/.

Use of Artificial Intelligence: The work submitted to Art Inquiries is expected to be the author’s/peer-reviewers’/editor’s own work. Authors are permitted to use generative A.I. for spellcheck and grammatical help (using apps like Grammarly, for example), but should disclose the use of A.I. for all purposes beyond straightforward language correction, editing, and formatting. Authors are responsible for checking the validity of the output of any automated tools used in their research and preparing their manuscript. All research design, data and image analysis, interpretation, and substantive intellectual contributions should be performed independently by the authors. Use of generative A.I. for the creation or substantive authorship of any manuscript is not permitted and would constitute a breach of academic integrity. Peer reviewers and editors should not use generative A.I. to create their assessments. A.I. introduced many risks, such as breaches of confidentiality, superficial and non-specific feedback, A.I. algorithmic bias, and false information such as fake/“hallucinated” references, for example. But its use also undermines the integrity of the review process. Use of spellcheck and grammatical help (using an app like Grammarly, for example) is allowed, and the use of editing applications to help recast writing may be acceptable if disclosed. Under no circumstances should A.I. be used for substantive authorship or the generation of a peer-review report.
