Revenue Law Journal recognizes the growing use of Generative Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies in academic research and scholarly writing. While AI tools may assist authors in improving language, organization, and readability, authors remain fully responsible for the accuracy, originality, integrity, and content of their submitted work.

Acceptable Use of Generative AI

Authors may use Generative AI tools for limited purposes, including:

• Language editing and grammar improvement.

• Improving clarity and readability of text.

• Formatting assistance.

• Generating ideas for research exploration.

The use of AI should not compromise the originality, accuracy, or scholarly integrity of the manuscript.

Author Responsibility

Authors are solely responsible for:

• Verifying the accuracy of all information generated by AI tools.

• Ensuring that all statements, citations, references, and legal interpretations are correct.

• Reviewing and editing AI-assisted content before submission.

• Taking full accountability for the final manuscript.

The journal does not consider AI systems as authors and does not recognize AI tools as contributors capable of assuming responsibility for published work.

Disclosure of AI Use

Authors should disclose the use of Generative AI tools when such tools have made a significant contribution to the preparation of the manuscript. The disclosure should include the name of the AI tool and a brief description of how it was used.

Minor language-editing assistance does not generally require detailed disclosure.

Prohibited Uses

Authors must not use Generative AI tools to:

• Fabricate or falsify research findings.

• Create misleading, inaccurate, or deceptive content.

• Generate fake references, citations, case laws, legislation, or sources.

• Manipulate research data or results.

• Engage in plagiarism or copyright infringement.

Any misuse of AI technologies may result in manuscript rejection, correction, retraction, or other editorial action.

AI and Authorship

Generative AI tools cannot be listed as authors or co-authors because they cannot take responsibility for the accuracy, integrity, originality, or ethical compliance of scholarly work.

All authors listed on a manuscript must be human contributors who meet the journal's authorship requirements.

Editorial Use of AI

Editors and reviewers may use AI-assisted tools for administrative purposes such as language evaluation or plagiarism screening. However, confidential manuscript content will not be knowingly shared with AI systems in a manner that compromises author confidentiality or intellectual property rights.

Ethical Compliance

The use of Generative AI must comply with the journal's Research and Publication Ethics Policy. Authors are expected to uphold the highest standards of academic integrity, transparency, and responsible research conduct when using AI-assisted technologies.

Revenue Law Journal reserves the right to request additional information regarding the use of AI tools during manuscript preparation and publication.
