Critical Literary Studies journal does not discourage the use of Artificial Intelligence (ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, Copilot, Grok, Google NotebookLM, Manus, etc.) as a research assistant tool; however, researchers must refrain from submitting AI-GENERATED manuscripts, even the least of it. All manuscripts must be HUMAN-GENERATED. The journal recognizes AI-GENERATED manuscripts as non-human and the act as immoral. Researchers must therefore avoid submitting AI-GENERATED manuscripts which the journal easily detects (especially through TURNITIN Al Detector). AI-GENERATED articles will be rejected immediately and the researcher will be black listed. It should be noted that the journal can also detect texts which are humanized (AI-GENERATED originally). Nevertheless, if AI-GENERATED texts are humanized or paraphrased, please acknowledge it in a separate COVER LETTER (the type of AI, AI version, and AI-use method should be included); otherwise, the article will be rejected with a notice to follow the policies regarding AI-Use. Upon acknowledgement, decisions will be made regarding the humanized manuscripts, either to be published or rejected. Additionally, the humanized manuscripts should be scrutinized to avoid PLAGIARISM, FABRICATED DATA (like fabricated quotations, quantitative/qualitative results, analysis, findings, conclusion, references, etc.), and UNRELIABLE INFORMATION (AI Hallucination). The journal advises you to avoid these academically-unacknowledged methods to ensure the research accuracy, originality, integrity, and validity, and increase your chances for publication. The responsibility of using AI-DEVELOPED research remains solely with authors and the journal will not be held responsible for any possible academic violation.
