Science, Education and Innovations in the Context of Modern Problems (SEI) recognizes the increasing role of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies in academic research, scholarly communication, and scientific publishing. The journal permits the responsible, transparent, and ethical use of AI-assisted tools in accordance with internationally recognized standards of publication ethics and research integrity.

AI tools may be used for limited and supportive purposes, including:

However, authors must understand that artificial intelligence systems cannot independently produce valid scientific scholarship and cannot assume responsibility for academic work. Therefore, AI systems and generative AI tools (including, but not limited to, ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, Copilot, or similar technologies) must not be listed or credited as authors or co-authors of a manuscript. Authorship is strictly reserved for human contributors who are capable of taking full responsibility for the integrity, originality, accuracy, and ethical compliance of the research.

Authors remain fully responsible for:

Any use of AI tools during manuscript preparation must be transparently disclosed within the manuscript, preferably in a dedicated “AI Use Disclosure” or “Acknowledgements” section. Authors should clearly indicate the nature, purpose, and extent of AI assistance used during the preparation of the work.

The use of AI tools to fabricate data, manipulate images, generate misleading scientific content, create false citations, falsify results, or otherwise compromise research integrity is strictly prohibited and may result in rejection, retraction, or other editorial actions in accordance with the journal’s ethical policies.

The use of AI tools to generate, alter, enhance, or manipulate scientific figures, images, graphical data, or visual materials is not permitted unless such use constitutes an explicit and reproducible part of the research methodology and is fully disclosed within the manuscript.

Reviewers and editors must not upload confidential manuscripts, unpublished data, peer review reports, editorial communications, or supplementary materials into publicly accessible AI systems or external generative AI platforms, as doing so may violate confidentiality, privacy, copyright, and intellectual property protections.

Editorial decisions, peer review evaluations, and scientific assessments remain exclusively human responsibilities. AI systems must not be used to make editorial judgments or peer review decisions.

The journal follows evolving international recommendations and best practices related to AI ethics and scholarly publishing, including guidance from COPE, ICMJE, WAME, and major academic publishers.

SEI reserves the right to request additional clarification regarding the use of AI tools at any stage of the submission, editorial, peer review, or publication process.
