Disclosure of AI Assistance
At Truth in Research, we are firmly opposed to the use of AI-generated content, which replaces human thought, analysis, and authorship. That type of writing lacks authenticity and undermines the purpose of serious scholarship. However, like any serious content creator or researcher, we responsibly utilize AI in an assisting role—never a generating one.

All manuscripts are written and developed by the author(s). AI-based tools (e.g., OpenAI’s ChatGPT) may be used only in a supportive capacity: grammar checking, proofreading, stylistic refinement, suggestions, formatting, and reference management. All ideas, arguments, interpretations, and data analysis are the author’s own intellectual contribution.

In short: the substance is 100% ours; AI is merely a tool—like spellcheck or citation software—that helps polish the final product.

Manuscript Submissions
With this policy in place, we do not accept manuscripts for publication that rely on purely AI-generated content. AI-assistance is permitted, but only in a supportive role. All submitted manuscripts undergo a careful review process before approval for publication. Depending on how much AI-assistance was utilized in the process, we may or may not require an explicit disclaimer for transparency. This will be judged on a case-by-case basis by our editorial reviewers.
